Im as surprised as you that jaws loves tros, but he says it fixes things for him that he didnt like in tfa or tlj. The only thing i can think Of is since he is a huge han fan He liked how it redeemed his character. That he was the one to finally turn ben back (even though it was leia) it was han that kylo had to talk with to fix his past mistake and to find peace with his father. He probabaly didnt like tfa cause it made han look like a poor husband and terrible father but again he leaned in tros that han wasnt a bad father it was all palpatine putting those thoughts in his head. He can correct me if im wrong, i am not trying to speak for him but i usually agree with him on most all movies but tros is wierd one for us or for me to undertand why he likes it. If its a han thing i somewhat understand. He also knows then why i hate tlj so much as a major luke fan because it destroyed his character far worse then anything tfa did to han
I just did not like TFA overall.. I thought the soft reboot of one of the most popular movies of all time was stupid. The whole "we need to reintroduce the fans to the world of SW" was a dumb idea IMO.
I also believe it was the combo of Leia / Rey / Han that turned Ben back and not the actual Han but the true memory of the love from a father. Watching TFA again I watch the death of Han now and it means so much more. Also Ben / Kylo is a character I know because there a are three films about him.. the first time watching it was just some stranger killing Han... It lacked emotional weight. It has that now.
I have no problem with Han leaving because as I said before you had to break up the core group and that was a perfect way to do it.
So it redeemed the death of Han and gave it more weight... You got to see how Han really was to Ben.. IDK It just worked for me and helped me to enjoy that part o the film better.
Also like so many I hated Rey as the Mary Sue.. But being a Palps helped me come to terms with her being overpowered... That and beating Kylo makes more sense after you understand that he was not only shot by Chewie, didnt want to kill Rey, she is a Palps, but that being torn up by what he had just done to his father makes the character of Kylo a bit more sympathetic and the scene itself more believable (that rey wins)
I always like the first hour though.
The only characters that were redeemed In tros was ben and han (han because we were informed it was all palps in bens mind telling him his parent hated him) he was not a bad father he loved his son deeply he was just a bad husband to leia taking off like that. Tros did not fix leia or luke they made tljs problems worse by going so far in the other direction. Force ghost luke no rey i was wrong i was a coward to hide here, yes i have ultimate force ghost powerS but im still scared, you go off now and fix my mistakes just wait for me to use the force to lift this xwing then you?ll be on your way. Ill be rooting for you from my rock with ultimate power, May the force be with you while i ghost around with the alien folk. Leia caring more about her own self preservation then stopping the first order before things got so bad
We just have different views on Luke... I don't see him the way you do and don't mind the direction they took him. You see a coward and I just don't For me he did not need a lot of redemption. Plus I just love the performance. I am not saying I would not have been happy with getting the sort of Luke Skywalker you wanted.. I just didn't hate what they did.
I also dont see Han as a bad Husband.. As stated the loss of a child splits a lot of families up.
But still other then Rey and Kylo... There is no redeeming the rest of that ****ing movie
They turned both luke and leia into cowards refusing to risk thier own lives to save others. The same leia that was willing to die to keep the rebel location safe and the same luke who took on both the vader and emperor without fear no other jedi before him even tried to do that. Yoda be like ill take emperor, obi you go after vader, obi be like i cannot kill anakin yoda be like emperor will kick your ass. The same luke that would rather die then kill his father at the emperors commands because he knew it was wrong. That is no coward, that is one brave stoic mother****er. Tossing his lightsaber aside (he threw down his only protection) knowing damn well he would get the emperors full wrath and not knowing what his father would do when he got up. A true god damn hero
Again we just see it differently.. I see Luke as a flawed hero in the ST who was dealing with massive amounts of guilt and regret.. A hero that thought the galaxy was better off without him.. Not someone who was afraid to die but someone who was afraid to face his loved ones because he did something that was unforgivable.. He saw the issues of the Jedi (Which Lucas painted out very well in the PT) and felt they were more of a problem then a solution..
Having said that.. Yeah.. I don't see how sending Kylo off to Snoke with no Jedi out there is a good idea
That would be my biggest issue.. But that is why I focus on the guilt.
Also I go back to his dying was a sacrifice and not a "I give up" like Disney says. Boy they are dumb over there.
