It’s all there in the comical tossed lightsaber scene

Great writing, real dramatic…

I still love that moment. Some of the humour in the film does jar I must admit (not I’ve gotten over the surreal glee of Ade Edmondson being in star wars that scene is a bit much imo) but I feel in that moment something had to be done to undercut the solemnity of the ending of TFA. RJ wanted to do something unexpected but I don’t for a moment believe he wanted to say, “yeah, fuck Star Wars! I have no idea why I’m making this movie!” He just wanted to surprise the audience and take things in a different direction than they were anticipating.

I don’t like the saber toss per-say, but I like the sentiment behind it. In my version, Luke would just hand it back to a bemused Rey and walk off.

I am not saying they should show that though. I’m just saying you can’t just put something in a film because it looks cool and is dramatic if it challenges the internal logic, really takes people out of it and seems cheap and showy

I get the subjective sense he got the opportunity to do one of the biggest films in the world but wasn’t that invested in it so decided to put his own stamp on things, that is how it seems to me

I’d agree with all of that apart from “but wasn’t that invested in.” I just think having the job of doing this trilogies Empire meant he had to take some risks. Not all of them landed, even for me, but I don’t think any of them were taken in bad faith.

Fair enough, but not once did I consider a ‘timer’ or a droid in place of Holdo until I saw others mention it months later.

The super star destroyer got taken down by one little A-Wing smashing into its bridge in Return Of The Jedi, so I reckon have a moan about that before complaining that using your biggest and most important ship at a kamikaze battering ram is OP as hell and why isn’t everybody at it all the time.

I believe several ships had attacked it knocking out the shield generator, the a wing took out the bridge and so it crashed
