Seeing as how fans were pissed anyway, it's really irrelevant. However, would you rather she died in a big battle like that or off-screen as she is going to have to be in the next movie?

Personally, I think a lot people are letting their nostalgia from the old novels and stuff get in the way of their enjoyment of these new movies. They want little to no surprises in the movies as they want everything to chart familiar territory since that is the universe they grew up with. They also don't want to see their favorite heroes get old and grumpy like real people do.

I'm not saying the movie was perfect by any means, as no SW movie has ever been perfect, but people have made TLJ out to be some sort of travesty on the franchise as if it had raped thier childhood, their mother, their dog, and they killed their dog. It tried to do something new and while it didn't succeed at everything it did, I was happy to see it try. The biggest crime this movie made is that Ep 9 will either make or break it. If 9 sucks, the whole trilogy is a waste. If 9 comes out solid, then people will see TLJ in a better light.
