Part 6/9:
Failures Without Consequences
The Last Jedi introduces several failures—such as Poe Dameron’s mutiny against Vice Admiral Holdo and Finn and Rose’s ill-fated mission on Canto Banto—that seem disconnected from the core story. These missions are either poorly handled or have no lasting impact, rendering their failures hollow. Unlike Empire, where setbacks deepen the narrative, these moments serve as filler or cheap shocks without consequences that propel growth or story evolution.
