Not spoilering this as I haven't actually seen this movie, or the one after, so I don't know what's happening here.Originally Posted by ”memnarch's comments on Ep. 2310”
But given what I've heard about the incoherence of the series as a whole, I'm wondering how much we can actually apply "conservation of detail" here. One of the most fun things about Darths and Droids has been where the comic writers come up with a proper explanation for character actions, which haven't been explained in the films but just glossed over with "it's a Space Adventure! Just go with it". I wonder if this is one of those places.
(Maybe I'm just jaded from reading the QC thread though, where "author didn't think this through, like, at all" has been a running complaint.)
