I didn’t post that, but whatever.
Anyway, even if it is contrived, so what? Did you like ESB? Because Luke being Vader’s son is the most contrived thing in all of Star Wars. And that doesn’t make it a bad movie at all.
I was watching a show called The Evolution of the Lightsaber Duel recently and mark hamill said darth vader was originally supposed to say “obi wan killed your father” but they changed the line to say “I am your father” unbeknownst to hamill. Just thought that was an interesting aside.
I enjoyed the movie. I just wish we had more info on what happened in the last 30 years, more back story as to what happened to the characters over all these years. Hoping they flesh that out more in upcoming movies.
