I’m under the impression that Google deliberately hinders their YouTube platform just because you have ad-blockers. With videos taking time to buffer, seems to signal this, because it almost makes up nearly the amount of time for when ads take if you had to watch them. So since you’re ad-blocking and they don’t like that, they’ll make your experience miserable until you want to pay their service or not use ad-block.
I wonder if that was selected as a way to resolve the love triangle once Lucas realized that there’s a reason romantic comedies usually make one of the members of love triangles villains, or at least don’t let the audience get as close with both competers. Shows/movies that do are instead dramas, which are a completely different tone from the light-hearted romance he was going for.
Yeah, it seems like it may have been a way to resolve the love triangle. Of course, Harrison Ford almost didn’t come back for Return of the Jedi. I wonder if Luke and Leia would have ended up together in that scenario.
