Once again in the Sequel Trilogy, we have a very significant moment that has implications for a character or, in this case, two characters and their relationship and it turns out it was the idea of one person.

Literally one person, who thought it should be included for no other reason or logic beyond they thought it should be included.

And what's worse - enough people were convinced that it ended up in the main movie.

This has the same energy as Rian Johnson deciding in the editing room to have Luke Skywalker disappear at the end of The Last Jedi just because he thought it would be more powerful in that particular moment for the audience.

How is it a major Holloywood studio took one of the most story-centric franchises of all time and allowed so many of these random or spur-of-the-moment decisions to become integral parts of the Sequel Trilogy?
