It's just a necklace, man. It's not nearly that big.

I like the idea that that's the crystal from Vader's saber. Luke may have hoped to teach Ben to free it and use it for his own saber.
Henry Cox
A theory is that Kylo's saber is powered by most of Luke's green crystal after he did his darkside 'this is why crystals are red now' ritual. In this theory, this fragment would be the rest of the crystal
Dylan Long
how come sabers only give off light to the sides and not vertically?
Jordan Wright
I feel proud for coming up with this Thrawn idea
Dominic Diaz
SO Kylo did the ritual while it was still in the blade, and left pieces of it behind? That would honestly make sense, and help explain the slightly shoddy construction of his cross hilted saber as well: Kylo never learned how to properly create or maintain lightsabers so had to break the thing open.

Saddest thing is, if you added heroes and blaster noises to Battlefield 1, you'd basically have my perfect Star Wars game The lack of destructible environments really limits things in BF2. Like, don't get me wrong, I see why LucasFilm might get upset at the idea of thrashing Theed, but you can't even shoot the cups off the plates in the throne room. Its pretty stupid

Its pretty stupid Yeah, it's so silly that the environments aren't destructible. That's one of my favorite additions to the Battlefield games, it makes it so much more fun to play when the map can be destroyed and changed over the course of the match.
Ian Miller
I LOVE Shriv
Ayden Long
Battlefield 1 is garbage, environments aren't completely destructible and all being able to bring a house down does is allow people in airplanes to dominate people on the ground even harder without being remotely in danger, at least in BF2 I can shoot an LAAT out of the sky as a ground unit
Josiah Sanchez
Why not appreciate the game on its merits than shit on it for it not including random features you liked from other games
>it makes it so much more fun to play when the map can be destroyed and changed over the course of the match. The Battlefront maps actually play out a lot like this as you move through the map doing a series of objectives, like stealing an AT-AT to blow open the Imperial base on Endor, its just streamlines and objective based which works really well to capture the cinematic and adventurous feeling of Star Wars. I'd would STRONGLY argue that the game is better off for this.
Different games work for different reasons.

I'd would STRONGLY argue that the game is better off for this. That's all fine and dandy, but it needs to be something that is incorporated into the rest of the game too. Battlefield doesn't only limit that stuff to its Operations and Rush gamemodes.

Why should I appreciate a game on its merits when comparable titles are 100x more fun and have a lot more features?

Adam Rodriguez
But it would make sense for Rey to skip the Knighthood because she would likely fill the role of a Master when she completes her training with Luke. There's literally 0 other Jedi so it's only natural that the few that exist immediately become Masters who democratically decide the direction of the Order instead of Luke being the sole leader of the Order (especially given his loss of faith in recent years). If there was a Jedi Order with hundreds of members by the time of the ST I would agree that it's bullshit for Rey to become a Master so easily but it makes sense given the situation.
Kayden Thompson

Gabriel Young
RIP greenie. Hopefully Rey builds her own saber and old blue falls back into your hands
My theory for Rey making her own is based mainly on marketing - If she has one, they can sell toys of it, and keep selling the other as Anakins. This would make the most sense to me.
Gavin Diaz
This. Rey isn't a Master because she's on the level of the old Masters like Mace or Yoda, she's a Master because there's literally no one else left, so she'd have to bypass being a Knight And, of course, its worth noting this is all based on a Japanese ad which always tend towards the bombastic so it might not even be accurate
Ethan Smith
well you're better than the other guy then
Dominic Edwards
How do we know theres no one else left in the entire galaxy though
If the galaxy is so big the nuRepublic didnt notice the Megadeth Star until it fired there could be a lot out there
Henry Sullivan
So this is deliberate, right?
I was frustrated at Episode 7 for giving the FO and snoke seemingly infinite resorces and money, but now pic related on top of his fancy gold robe and everything we saw in 7, I'm starting to think there is going to be an actual explanation for the endless cash.
Thoughts? Where would Snoke be getting all this cash from?
Grayson Collins
I hate nuBF2 as well but your reasoning for its faults last thread were cringeworthy nostalgia goggles for the first BF2, there is so much shit to complain about in that piece of garbage game that "waaaah muh galactic conquest" is the pettiest bullshit imaginable
Jace Peterson
Her staff is so obviously crying out to be made into a double bladed lightsaber, and it would definitely symbolize Rey standing up for herself rather than relying on legacies that aren't even her own That and if Anakin's saber is meant to be some kind of Excalibur style weapon, it needs to get lost again so the heroes of Rian's trilogy can find it
Ryan Taylor
Theory time: >when Kylo turns to the dark side he has a lightsaber battle with Luke >during this battle he defeats Luke by slicing his robot hand which is holding his lightsaber, this cuts his synth skin off and cuts his saber in half (notice how the necklace is tied up to the point where Luke's hand is holding it) >he then force pushes Luke or something and collapses part of the temple on him >then while Luke is incapacitated he takes the crystal that fell out of Luke's lightsaber and bleeds it, then tries to put it into his new crossguard saber but it breaks in half when he does this >he takes one half and Luke later finds the other half of the now red saber on the ground when he gets out of the rubble
Adam Cruz
It's interesting how we've only ever seen dark side users wield the double bladed saber though.
Austin Bailey
They plunder the resources of worlds, both human and mineral, beyond the sight of the New Republic at the barrel of a gun and manufacture war materiel on the move in that very flying wing destroyer Who knows how many systems have been totally stripmined just to fuel this paramilitary group's designs
Aiden Edwards
Order 66 seems to have been much more effective in the nu-canon, so I doubt there any of the old masters still running around 50 years after it happened. And the entire reason Starkiller remained hidden was it existed in a region the Old and New Republics never explored, so there probably aren't any Jedi out there either Didn't Serkiss say in an interview that Snoke is big on enjoying the luxury of being a ruler? I think I read that somewhere, probably in EW, so I think we will get a brief throwaway note about the First Order strip mining entire planets for material or something to handwave it a little
Ryan Williams
all the Jedi Temple Guards use double bladed yellow lightsabers, and pong krell did too before he became a nigger
Benjamin Torres
>Where would Snoke be getting all this cash from? If we go by the idea that Snoke is some ancient darksider, then Millennia of compound interest.
Robert Cook
Then its time to break the tradition. I suppose the thinking is twice the blade = twice the killing power, but it could also be twice the shield as well
Aaron Stewart
Cameras, really.
Jackson Bennett
Snoke took over like half of the New Republic (likely including Coruscant) 6 years before TFA.
Nathaniel Long
sounds reasonable - I don't like the idea of Luke loosing a fight to Kylo, but it has to happen for the back story to make sense really, and I suppose Luke's heart probably wouldn't be in it.
Jackson Nelson
>it needs to get lost again And stay lost. Stop hobbling the new works with ties to the old ones.
Hunter Adams
The Unknown Regions are a fourth of the galaxy to freely strip of resources at FO's convenience. They have such a surplus of kybers that they can shove them into stock turbolasers. Basically, think Spain or Portugal during the early conquests of the New World and you have the First Order.
Then you also have all the funding that comes from the major criminal cartels in the galaxy and important Centrist worlds (presumably full of key industrial and financial systems that got hurt by demilitarization and decentralization of the New Republic - filthy rich partners who have a grudge against the Republic and want the return of the good old days before Endor).
Jeremiah Perry
>presumably full of key industrial and financial systems that got hurt by demilitarization That's pretty much explicit if you read the Visual Dictionary for TFA. The entire First Order arsenal is a mish-mash of old Imperial arms manufacturers who've had to merge various subsidiaries together to survive and be able to sell to the First Order
Liam Rogers
Wait. If Luke's saber is excalibur now, will Rey give it back to him after she comes up from the water - like the Lady of the Lake?
Jack Gutierrez
Sorry, Excalibur (1981) and Merlin (1999) have already monopolized Sword in the Stone kino
Hunter Howard
Anakin's is Excalibur, and its worth remembering that Maz's castle was right next to a lake So, basically, it turns out ancient tarts who run watering holes might not make for a sound system of government, but they do have an eye for picking out Force Sensitives
Austin Carter
Phasma looks pretty alright so far (aside from the fact that whoever did this mockup just used the Assault's hologram pose)
Kayden Evans
Sorry, I meant Anakin's - I was on full on, it goes back to Luke mode :P
I think it makes the most sense for Luke or Ben to end up with it. Then I agree it should stay buried, at least for Rian's trilogy. When we get 10-12 (probably sooner than we would like) it can show up again in the new Skywalker's hands I guess.
Oliver Rogers
I feel like they really missed out on the whole 'excalibur' aspect in TFA by not showing anything from the prequels in the vision. Imagine if Rey was shown the complete history of the saber ranging from the horrible (Anakin burning alive) to the good (Luke training with Ben). It would really push the idea that this new power of hers could be a blessing or a curse depending on how she uses it.
Noah Carter
Like 90% of reflective surfaces in games, how good it looks varies so wildly based on the lighting previews may as well be useless. I'll wait till she's in the game I kind of hope it gets lost during this trilogy DESU. Rey deserves her own weapon, if Luke is to fight he should rebuild his to visually show us that process and his renewed commitment and Kylo's saber is too distinctive to lose regardless of what happens to his character
Benjamin Edwards
Why would he only take half of it, though? Also, how long does the bleeding process take?
Parallel Theory: Kylo and Luke fought over possession of Vader's crystal. When Luke is buried in the aftermath of their fight, Kylo is forced to leave, but takes the crystal from Luke's ROTJ lightsaber and bleeds it on his own time, cracking the crystal in the process. When Luke emerges from the rubble, he still has possession of Vader's crystal, which he will either purify or have Kylo purify throughout his redemption arc.
Lincoln Gutierrez
I'll allow it only if the series ends with the saber being purified
Alexander Jones
>rich people just in tuxedos and 20th century hairstyles
What happened to the fucking robes
Colton Wright
We already know Vader's crystals were destroyed by either the DS-II and the Acolytes of the Beyond. Also he would take half of it because you probably can't put two entirely disconnected crystals into a single emitter.
Ayden Wilson
prequels are set in the 2010s of star wars
most boring generation of both realities
William Bennett
>Luke may not have any kids after all >Kylo may die at the end of the trilogy >The Skywalker name is already lost even if Ben has kids and their family born out of the Force just dies in three generations if he doesn't Who else is bothered by this?

You are just used to it. Give it another 20 years and you will be asking "what the hell happened to dabbing?"
Jonathan Ramirez
isn't Kylo Ben's last name Solo
Andrew Jenkins
Yes, that's why the Skywalker name is lost even if Ben does have kids
Eli Bennett
Ben purifies his saber's crystal. It's still cracked and unstable, like him, so he winds up with an old school cross hilt saber, with a light pink blade.
Daniel Wood
>Who else is bothered by this? Not me. I'm Skywalkered out at this point.
Angel Harris
For all we know, Ben's birth name could be Ben Skywalker Solo.
Anthony Price
I mean, I think it's a slap in the face. But honestly that's what they want it seems like. They want to murder all past canon and make their own and totally phase out the old as much as they can. I personally don't agree with this aspect but that's the way people remake a series this large. They would rather not use any old assets and pretend they are being original by bringing in all new shit they thought of without completely writing out all the old immediately so they don't piss off all the old fans.
Anthony Reed
If anything, it would be Ben Organa Solo.
Levi Hughes
By ep 10 we will have more Skywalkers. For whatever reason Ben and Rey use that name instead of Solo, or Rey was a Skywalker all along, or gets adopted.
Skywalkers mean big bucks - If seven had flopped, or if eight does, maybe we won't see 10, or at least not for a while, but if disney thinks they can get away with it, we will get 10, and the normies want to see a skywalker story.
