So, seriously, why is Disney so convinced that the Millennium Falcon's dice will evoke such an incredible sense of nostalgia that they want to make them the focal point of entire scenes in multiple films?

I mean, this is a background detail so insignificant that even the old eu never bothered elaborating on its significance. They're barely visible in the one original film they're even in.

Like, is this the next step in nostalgia? That instead of bringing back things we fondly remember, companies are going to bring back things we didn't remember in the first place, and pretend we fondly remember them?

...Who Deserve an Expansive Backstory in a Tales From... Style Anthology:

  • Grumpy Dreadnought Captain
  • Evil BB8
  • The Rebel Trooper Who Apparently Tastes Every Planet He Visits
  • The Master Codebreaker and His Distinctive Pin That is So Unique That Giving His Name, Species, or Indeed Any Sort of Description Would Be Superfluous to Identify Him
  • Carrie Fisher's Dog

Thinking some more about The Last Jedi, now I've had a few weeks to digest it – and gotten back from my holidays. Indonesia's national parks are beautiful!

I think there's two main issues I have with it. One's somewhat unavoidable and unintentional, but the other is a real weakness of the film as it stands.
