Ok so based on the kind folks that have answered my questions and driving into work thinking on it more.
So it's 1983, I'm that old so yes, I can put my mind back there in theaters, jump ahead and I'm catching up with our heroes after
happy Ewok victory day Abrams style..
Han is a failed father and failed marriage with Leia, runs away, turns his back on his soldiers (he was a General afterall) to go back to being unremarkable and smuggles
with his buddy who apparently is content to just hang with him forever no matter what. Yes Chewie is his faithful "dog" so to speak, ok I'll let that go.
Luke has failed with his new Jedi academy failing to detect and protect it from the darkside, and runs away, also turning his back on the immediate cause of fighting I guess the surprisingly resurgent Empire.
Leia and the rebellion failed to defeat the Empire, to such a degree it's on full bore again.
And they all fail in such a way that everything is happening almost exactly as before all over again.
I sit there and think was their child not loved and nurtured in the best ways possible?
Including an expert on the force Uncle watching over? There should have been zero evil
influence at all on that child and if there was you had TWO people that would know right away.
So its destined that what? about half of Skywalkers are just going to turn bad? Like really bad and endanger
the entire galaxy?
Could they not have had the kid kidnapped by baddies or something instead? I could see that.
OH and Han FAILS to keep the Falcon!
Wow. Try to take my ride and see what will happen to you!
