I kinda wish the gorilla walkers would have done something cool. I was stoked when I saw those in the preview.
bobinator said:I agree with this, but I do also agree it's an odd choice by Luke. So was making his force projection look better groomed than his actual self. "I need to look good for this" seems like a weird thought for a Jedi.Ag Since 83 said:
I think a) it was a hint to the audience paying attention, and b) a sign of just how blinded by anger Kylo was. Not sloppy writing
(To be clear, this isn't something that really even registered on the bothered me scale, just thought it was odd)
I can understand people who liked this movie a lot more than I did, different strokes and all that, but this seems like a bridge too far.Brennus said:
it is probably on par with Rogue one for me.
Yeah, I've seen people say that and agree that it would have been cool, but then I remind myself that Mark Hamill is older now than Alec Guiness was when ANH came out.Brennus said:
I would agree that I would have rather seen Luke go beserk but that isn't the point of what they were trying to relay with his character.

TFA was way better than this garbage.

Luke, who went to the second Death Star to try to redeem his father, who is probably the most evil person in the galaxy... is going to kill his nephew because he was starting to wander toward the dark side? Complete and utter BS.
Luke knew Kylo had issues, when he looked deeper he something frightening and reacted for an instance. He had a moment of weakness he never truly got over.Dr. Teeth said:I just wonder what people saw that I didn't.wangus12 said:Why is it so shocking that someone likes one movie a whole lot and doesn't like another.bobinator said:I can understand people who liked this movie a lot more than I did, different strokes and all that, but this seems like a bridge too far.Brennus said:

Or that they didn't notice this movie basically ignoring all of the Star Wars that came before it.
Luke, who went to the second Death Star to try to redeem his father, who is probably the most evil person in the galaxy, knowing he was probably going to die in the attempt... is going to kill his nephew because he was starting to wander toward the dark side? Complete and utter BS.
Problem is that lighting your lightsaber over someone sleeping in a tent is just a "moment of weakness." Like, he had to think about it, walk to Kylo's hut, stand over him and then actually turn on the lightsaber.Flashdiaz said:

and yes, it's in his character. He reacted in anger against his father when he mentioned Leia... he tapped into that anger to hack away at Darth and cut his hand off.

no. He went to him to take a deeper look into him and was standing over him doing his force snooping when he saw something that was much worse than he expected. What if he saw Han's death and\or Leia blowing up with him piloting a version of a tie fighter?bobinator said:Problem is that lighting your lightsaber over someone sleeping in a tent is just a "moment of weakness."

This is making a couple of assumptions that I'm not sure are true. You have to be in close proximity to someone to read their thoughts? And, does Luke even have that ability? Even Yoda couldn't see people's future's that clearly.Flashdiaz said:

One thing I'm absolutely certain of is that they wanted to leave open that Kylo could conceivably end up as a good guy again which is why I think they scrapped the idea of Kylo and Luke actually having a showdown. If he would have actually killed him, then there's no way he could conceivably become a good guy again, but he didn't.IrishAg said:
Judging by the back and forth we're all having in this, I'm pretty sure the larger issue with this movie is that it appears the director/writers came up with moments they wanted: Luke fading away with the sunset, Admiral Prissy Pants hyperspace torpedo (which why couldn't they do that with one of the other ships earlier?), the look into all rich people are evil on canto bight, etc... and then threw together the script to make those scenes/moments work. This would explain why almost everyone seems to be having trouble making sense and/or justifying any of the character motivations in this movie.
As I told someone who hasn't seen it when they asked for an honest opinion, I was disappointed, there were moments I loved, but the movie just didn't feel like Star Wars. And after they saw it, they completely agreed with me. Great moments, but nothing seems to fit right.

It just occurred to me that Disney was adamant that getting rid of the Expanded Universe was necessary to avoid confusion with the movies due to story contradictions and improbable timelines. I'm so glad that they avoided doing that with The Last....oh, wait.
The First Order would be there regardless of Kylo Ren. Snoke was in back ground all along.bobinator said:
It's way down the list for me, but the fact that this whole interaction happened off-screen is higher on the list. Like, this moment where Luke turns on Kylo has shaped everything that's going on right now. It caused the death of Han Solo, it caused Leia to lose her son and the man she loves (both because he went back into smuggling and later because he died), it caused Luke Skywalker to go into hiding. So this moment has huge ramifications for everyone, and we don't really get to see what caused it.
Based on how he reacted to Rey handing him Anakin's I'd guess he didn't construct a new one, and if the green one wasn't destroyed at that time I'd bet he destroyed it himself.DartAg1970 said:
I have not read every single post here. I have seen a couple people mention Luke's blue saber during his Force projection.
I could be not remembering it correctly, but it was obviously blue, but to me the hilt didn't even remotely resemble Anakin's. Yes it appeared to be chrome, but the structure of it just didn't look the same to me.
I thought it was pretty clear that perhaps his iconic green saber was destroyed after the fight with Kylo at the Academy. and then in his solitude he constructed a new saber. Even though as we find out its all a mental image so he didn't actually construct a new one, but I never got the impression that it was supposed to be the original Anakin lightsaber.
