I'd been anticipating this line, and had had some "Threepio complains, but stays in the thick of things anyway" thoughts myself. What more I could say had seemed elusive at first, but I might have thought a bit more deeply about this moment raising a laugh in theatres, then considered whether the whole "forest battle" could be taken to have a joking edge to it. That's quite acceptable with me (I've come to enjoy "absurdity with a serious face," although the examples in my mind are anime series, which aren't for everyone), but does remind me of all the complaints of the late 1990s that Return of the Jedi somehow "let down its predecessors" (even if the "space battle" remained more acceptable, while the lightsabre duel never seemed to get as much attention...)
