A load-bearing costume element is removed and reinvented. New wheels for a new generation of fans. But we kind of liked the old ones. Paying tribute to Threepio is a kind thing. The galaxy is full of possibilities; by drawing on the depth of what we already know, the lore will lead us to the right stories. It takes less effort and gives a better result. Somehow, the galaxy will end in a matter of minutes. We can practically hear the seconds ticking down. Can you feel the writer's hand on the dial?
