You’re over analyzing the movie. It’s not nearly as profound or well thought out as you imply. The sequel trilogy folks even admitted that they winged it and didn’t consult each other, on purpose. Resulting in a conflicted mess. The direct take is that the epitome of hope character—who never gave up on anyone—is changed to an angry milk-drinking murderer who’s main plot point is giving up on family. In the most condescending way, at that. The author didn’t understand or respect the character. Hamill agreed. That you are not editing posts down to make a coherent point is perhaps a clue why you don’t appreciate ‘economy of story.’ But you should: “perfection is attained not when there is no longer anything to add, but when there is no longer anything to take away” –Exupéry
