He left the exciting part of the movie early to dick around in a swamp with his robot and a backpack full of granola bars, looking for an Old Baby Yoda.
You. Yes, you.

Not sure what you mean by that.
It’s true, a Jedi commissioned the clone army that was used to kill the Jedi. Seems bad!
The real problem with the Dagobah scene is that the stakes are so high elsewhere. The rest of the rebellion is literally on the run and are seemingly hours away from destruction, everything is on the line, so every moment that’s spent horsing around on the swamp planet feels like a risk the heroes can’t afford to take.
Sifo-Dyas, a sitting member of the Jedi High Council, commissioned the clone army.
Huh?
What do you mean?
What?
Huh?
Yeah. While it wasn’t perfect, what I liked most about The Last Jedi was that it embraced the prequels and their actual real politics. Outside of it (and Clone Wars, obviously), the best you can usually hope for is a jokey reference to how “bad” they supposedly were. In the comics, they reference the events of Rogue…
Especially in the second movie in the trilogy!
Also, uh, the prequels were about how the entire Jedi Order fucked up so bad that pretty much all of them wound up being executed by the army of clones of a bounty hunter that they themselves had commissioned except for a couple hermits who got to live solitary lives in effective exile under decades of fascist rule.
Huh?
What?
Because you’re not very bright. Oh well!

Not sure what you mean.
