Agreed. There are a number of examples in TLJ of things that you wouldn’t normally do in a Star Wars movie, or at least in one cut from the same cloth as the originals and TFA. I actually responded surprisingly negatively to TLJ when I saw it Thursday night for exactly that reason. I was carrying around all of this baggage of what I thought a Star Wars movie should be. I went back Saturday night trying to ignore any preconceived expectations and enjoyed myself immensely.
