It matters a lot when people can see characters like themselves in the media they love. Totally agreed. As for the dialogue, people forget how lighthearted the original was. LUKE: I can’t see a thing in this helmet! or HAN: This is not going to work. LUKE: Why didn’t you say so before? HAN: I did say so before! or LEIA: This is some rescue. When you came in here, didn’t you have a plan for getting out? HAN (pointing to Luke): He’s the brains, sweetheart. ---

I think Empire and Jedi are as funny as the Force Awakens. I think humor being absent(well, pretty much absent) from the prequels is one thing that ruined them. They are just so dull, lifeless, and unjoyful. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mr-plinketts-force-awakens-review/767538.md?page=1)
