l3 is the jar-jar binks character for solo
When TPM was released most people liked it, with 1 exception - everyone that I knew at the time HATED jar-jar, the rest in history as you know. Obvious the film has been picked to death since then, but jar-jar was the catalyst.
It's funny how disney went and added their own jar-jar character in the form of l3.
The difference is that they had the nous to kill the character (at least they sowed us how weak and pathetic the characters conviction was in the process) so that it can never return.
