What more can I say? We're talking about what my inner child wants / wanted. It's entirely irrational and subjective. Leia got pushed out of the New Republic, which then gets destroyed. Yes, she's continuing to fight the good fight, but she's struggling to do so, constantly on the back foot against the First Order. When she asks for help, no one comes (at first). I'll acknowledge that her portrayal is the best of the three, and it's highly probable that, had Carrie Fisher lived, Leia's story would have turned out differently in the last film.Luke, meanwhile, has had his nephew turn on him and destroy everything he built, resulting in him becoming a hermit just like Yoda/Obi-Wan. His subsequent appearances in the Mando-verse have him not learning from his experiences as a "new" Jedi and instead just trying to repeat the past, which as we already know, is doomed to failure.Han's relationship with Leia has fallen apart. He's lost his beloved Falcon, and he's back to being a struggling smuggler again.I don't agree that portraying our OT heroes in this way is better storytelling.</blockquote>
