Although there are currently no hints to suggest a new Jar Jar-esque character entering the equation (with the possible exception of the puffin-inspired porgs), it genuinely looks like director Rian Johnson is endeavoring to break the mold of a traditional Star Wars narrative and try something that we have never seen in this franchise before.
With Star Wars: The Last Jedi right around the corner, Kelly Marie Tran also seems to think that’s a tradition that’s alive and well in the new movies.
That’s something Star Wars fans have come to appreciate over the years — even during the series’ low points.
