Now, though ... I debate when to show my (obviously too young) children so they don't grow too attached to him 😅

See, I was young enough when it came out to not find him totally abhorrent (but old enough to be like, "why is this becoming a political drama with some fight scenes and pod races?" Middle school is an awkward time)

Funny, I don't remember it feeling magnificent. The real plot was difficult to follow and the action was overdone. They're a massive tonal shift from the original trilogy and many long-time fans were deeply disappointed.

If anything, it means he was even stronger for being out in that cold.

Kennedy was young and chronically ill. That man was not strong, he was held up with a pharmacy's worth of meds, from steroids to manage his Addison's and opiates to manage back pain, to uppers and downers so he could wake up and sleep. No judgement, just facts.
