I know! I couldn't help noting how as soon as Grizzled-Smuggler Han showed up, you could practically hear the movie fawning over him as he took over and dominated everything, to the point that they pretty much had him taking over every role - wise old mentor, rogue pilot, third member of the trio, reluctant hero forced into action...it was ridiculous. No wonder the writers didn't trust themselves to have all three together at once; their brains would have melted.
Appatently it's pop cultural heresy to claim that Lucas is a superior storyteller, but I don't care. The evidence is right there. All this pandering to fanboys will never reach the levels of his creative innovation.
