If anything, it goes to show that Star Wars has abandoned all pretense of a cohesive narrative in favor of silly incoherent McGuffins. If the story no longer matters, what are we doing here?

"Let's face it, this is not the worst thing you've caught me doing." - Tony Stark, 'Iron Man'.
"The right information at the right time is deadlier than any weapon." - Martin Collins, 'Westworld', Season 3 Episode 5.
"Nobody normal ever accomplished anything meaningful in this world." - Jonathan Byres, 'Stranger Things', Season 2 Episode 1.
"It was like having a whole weather system turn against me. Just hate message after hate message, around the clock, all piling on. It’s hard to describe what that does to your head.

"You cowboys finished shooting the breeze?" Mary Sue brushed a lock of fiery red hair from her brow. "I need to get these reactor coils powered down before they overload. TERF - the ship's AI - is telling me we have twenty minutes to go before the core goes supercritical."

"Perfect," Mary Sue grumbled. "It's gonna take me a month for these safety belt bruises to fade."
"Package the Q-dust and send a signal to Zilkon," Danner ordered. "I need something to drink before I start bargaining with Rodney."
"Oh please," Mary Sue demanded. "Stop being such a ... man!"
