*glug glug* tss aahhh DELICIOUS
This goes in every Luke thread
MILKIES
why did people get so triggered by this? it was manly as fuck living off the land shit
I think the fact that Luke wasn't rail thin and dying/dead from starvation proved he was already living off the land. The scene was not necessary at all. Further, it was another of Ryan Johnson's attempt to "subvert your expectations" that Luke was the character Mark Hamill had built himself up to be, making him from a hero of the galaxy into a gross old man who's actively avoiding teaching a youth in need, as well as supporting the rebellion he had literally saved twice on his own.
I'LL COME TO YOU
you are looking way too much into this shit, dude is just drinking milk was one of johnsons shitty comedy moments
>everyone asks for Luke buff since launch
>nerf him in new patch
I dont give a shit if he can run faster, rush slows his momentum anyway
>johnsons shitty comedy moments
You're probably right man, but in the end it had the same effect. The scene fell completely flat.
I CLIP THOUGH MY OWN CHEST
hamill is so based, he didnt deserve this shit
BIGGER LUKE
CLONE WARS PATCH WHEN REEEEEEEEEEEE
No, he really didn't. I would honestly hope to hold a private interview free from the mouse influence so I can hear what he really thinks. Everyone knows he tried to drop a ton of hints but it just didn't work because every time he tried someone off screen was sweating him, you could see him look off to his handlers most of the time.
I just noticed the Luke in the background what the fuck can someone explain this image to me
Anyone got the pic Mark Hamill posted on his facebook? The one with the alien tits?
the fact he repeatedly asked Johnson to at least save his death until 9 pissed me off so fucking much, how is Johnson such a retard that he thinks that Rey and Finn cant get focus if Luke is around, we had 40+ years of Luke being grand master with the focus being on his students
>Rey and Finn can't focus with Luke around
Confirmed for idiot characters with no depth
this bit and luke calling referring to a lightsaber as a "laser sword" were the two of the best parts of the movie tbqhwu
Look on the bright side, that means Episode 9 is gonna be a Beavis and Butt-Head movie.
as in the plot cant focus on them if Luke is alive*. Even then, fuck them?
>Kill off beloved character just so your own OCs can get to shine
I hope they continue the movie series and the next director kills off Rey and Finn as well. Also, make the protagonist a reincarnation of Luke just to piss him off further.
They'll spend the whole movie trying to score?
>Kill off beloved character just so your own OCs can get to shine
the worst thing is they think that will make people like their OCs when it actually makes everyone hate them
But if I wanted a beevus and butthead movie I'd watch beevus and butthead and get better jokes. Now it's like watching robot chicken Star Wars skits with the flatlining of the family guy Star Wars skits.
>characters with no depth
You are missing the point of the characters. Rey is there to sell toys to little girls and prove Star Wars is about women, and Finn is there because they have a diversity quota to meet. His character does literally nothing worthwhile and can be removed from the story with no consequence to the plot.
>the plot can't focus on Finn and Rey of Luke is alive
Then why the fuck is Leia alive

>huge Star Wars fans ever since I saw it re-released in ‘97 as a child
>don’t care the slightest about the franchise anymore since I stepped out of seeing TFA
I guess this is how people who saw it in the 80’s felt after TPM though.
no idea, this is just the reason Johnson actually gave for killing Luke, he had this as his goal ever since he got the project
Technically shes not...
>take an icon and run him through the mud
>wonder why everyone considers you a villain
Fuck him
TPM was just boring and bad though, outside of midichlorians and the dumb chosen one prophecy it didn't really shit on anything that came before and even then the midichlorians were never brought up again
Just like how technically Luke burned down the Jedi tree? Fuck you Leia is alive.
A JEDI'S GOTTA DO WHAT A JEDI'S GOTTA DO
If you can see him then you have a Stand of your own. Try it out
>why the fuck is Leia alive
I get the feeling Kylo's redemption was originally going to involve her pretty heavily, so it makes sense to keep her alive.
I don't get why people are so pissed about luke being killed of in VIII to be honest. He got a great send-off and the Kylo-Rey dynamic has enough potential to make IX interesting. Though I get the feeling that episode IX is gonna be super underwhelming regardless
PULL UP ON YOUR PLANET
DEATH STAR DRIVE BY
Is this not one of the freshest fucking attires ever doned for a film? Fucking peak performance, especially the glove. Even doe rotj was arse, it had some spectacular design cues
VADER, I'M COMIN FOR YOU
TPM made Jedi out to be like video game characters though. Like once you reach level 20 you get Force Speed (which was never in the movies before it, never explained, and never used again oddly). The jedi somehow wore desert robes when there was no need because they were in SPACE. Yes I know these opinions can be heard elsewhere, I just agree with them that's all.
apparently Johnson was going to have Luke fight Kylo physically but he thought it wouldnt make sense since the X-wing was underwater and broken. Not like he could have reshot that scene so the X-wing was somewhere else or anything.....
I liked the astral projection anyway, but just wanted to point out how much of a retard Johnson is
BEN WANT TO SEE MY NEW LIGHTSABER
>ROTJ was arse
only about a third of it
the final act is the best Star Wars has ever been, though
Luke was doing crazy shit like heaps of flips, blaster deflection and choking in ROTJ though, and do they ever use force speed after tpm?
Only in the cartoons I think. "Force Powers" seem to be whatever the plot needs them to be at the time.
Yeah they were, in the opera scene of RotS is the only other time midichlorians are mentioned, but Ian’s acting is so good that no one even takes issue with the scene.
The astral projection thing was fine in theory, but they really fucked themselves by showing Rey and Kylo doing it effortlessly.
If they'd foreshadowed them being clearly strained after doing it the final part would have actually made sense, rather than Johnson being a complete retard.
>b-but Snoke was facilitating it!
then show him being exhausted. That would actually make a damn fine bit of foreshadowing for other parts of the movie, too
>Why are they trying to do new things with this universe
I get being upset that George Lucas has jack shit to do with these new movies but you're honestly retarded if you thought Disney wasn't gonna introduce some new faces to milk for the next few decades.
Kylo and Rey weren't astral projecting though, well nowhere near to the extent Luke was and Kylo comments that Rey even talking to him through the force would kill her from the effort
introducing new characters is fine, killing characters who are still relevant to the story to make people like them is not
>it was the best battlefront in the industry, and a fun shooter...and it was a good game.
Which reminds me, the developers wanted to give you this when you were old enough. The industry's last good Battlefront game.
For over hundreds of Star Wars video games, Battlefront stood out among the rest of the old developer's games. Before the dark times. Before Microtransactions.
How did Battlefront die?
A greedy company named EA, who was a good company before it turned to greed, bought the exclusive rights to Star Wars...and it betrayed the franchise and ruined the industry.
EA was seduced by greed, now Star Wars games are all but extinct.
They were, which is why Kylo had water on his hands during the final one.
Kylo's line was a classic fanfic tactic of making Rey look good without putting any effort in.
>you're honestly retarded if you thought Disney wasn't gonna introduce some new faces
I think you're missing the point man. Focusing on the wrong issue. New blood isn't bad. New blood that sucks, then removing established characters in order to make new shit shine is the worst way to do it.
blah blah blah, that game is overrated as fuck holy shit gets old real quick without MP galactic conquest
this
cuz mods love coddling Sup Forumsutstic faggots like themselves
no Kylo's line was setting up the fact that Rey wasn't doing it, and yeah Kylo briefly appeared to Rey on Ach-to due to snoke but he wasn't actually running around and fighting anyone
Introducing new characters is fine. People loved new Star Wars characrers like Mara Jade or Talon Karde, for example.
The problem lies with deliberately sabotaging old ones just to make new ones look better by comparison. Which is why, to continue the analogy, people hated Kyp Duron and Traviss Mandalorians.
Even if the new ones were good this would be a problem, but they're awful. Kylo is the only one who actually stands on his own two feet.
>relevant to the story
What was there left for Luke to do after making amends with Leia and Kylo? The whole thematic point of the last jedi was moving on from the past. You can think that's just Disney cynically creating a new dedicated fanbase in kids who didn't grow up with the OT, but from a narrative and thematic perspective it makes sense for Luke to die.
This goes back to the fact that they never showed Snoke putting any significant effort into it.
If they'd had a scene where he appears mysteriously exhausted, it would be great.
Again, the films are sabotaged by the fact that Rey is one of the worst Mary Sues ever written; lines like Kylo's are a classic tactic to make them seem good, meaning what could be foreshadowing is shot in the foot by meta issues.
The fact that the rest of the film also takes great pains to make Rey seem even more obnoxious in that regard, then the line loses all impact.
Luke was a goddamn Jedi master, pretty fucking useful fighting the first order. There is also ACTUALLY training Rey and other students so the Jedi can continue, they regress his character then he dies not to mention he is responsible for the mess. He's a goddamn Skywalker, it doesn't make sense for him to die the way he did was so obvious he was just clumsily written out I felt like I could see a fucking eraser on him when he vanished
>let the past die. Kill it if you have to.
The whole point of the new movies is killing off the old beloved characters to try and get people to like and focus on their shitty new characters.
I hope you are all ready to see Chewie and the droids bite it next in 9.
>let the past die. Kill it if you have to.
But don't forget to watch the Solo movie!
Or buy our merchandise made from shamelessly ripped off OT designs!
>having like actually train rey and other jedi
So basically retread the older films with an explicit student/master relationship? I don't know man, I just feel like killing luke off lends the next film a lot of freedom in terms of direction. Will Rey try and take the Jedi in a new? How the hell are the not-rebels gonna deal with the not-empire now that there's literally like a couple dozen of them left?
I have little faith in JJ making episode ix anything other than a return to status quo by the numbers death star-related movie, but damn it it could be something refreshing.
It was a bit anti-climatic and confusing
Did he die of exhaustion or did he purposely become a force ghose ala obi wan. Why didn't his body disappear? Why project yourself when you intend to die anyway? Was his whole plan just to troll kylo a little and tell him he'd be around? Him dying alone, on a planet so far away from everyone for a seemingly pointless reason is a bit disappointing for such a consequential character.
At this point I'm ready to see everyone die with no sequel announced.
He was pretty obviously buying them time to escape, user. He also fell to the ground as he died, didn't look particularly deliberate
>George says the movie is not about spaceships
>gets a team of brilliant designers to create unique, memorable spaceships
how did he do it?
TOTAL CHAD
It's shitty writing since Luke calls Rey and Jedi when he didn't train her and last time they were together she hit him in the back of the head. You can kill Luke if it's organic, but it wasn't at all it was rushed as fuck and now everything accomplished in the OT is pointless as its back to square one, what's worse is Luke is fucking responsible for that too and this shit wasn't intentional either they somehow thought they were giving him a grand sendoff without realising they fucked up the entire plot and made everything feel awkward
Because he was an amazing ideas guy.
With the more superficial elements, he absolutely excelled.
>Why are they trying to do new things with this universe
That's a funny thing to say when episode 7 was a scene for scene rehash
>died of exhaustion from making a hologram
Don't tell me that doesn't sound pretty lame.
I think of it as projecting, controlling and fighting with an avatar of himself across the galaxy
Just play movie battles
I CAN HANDLE MYSELF
He could have been a grey jedi like Bindo but instead we got a dirty hippy.
I'm staggered how they knew the single biggest criticism of TFA was Rey being an obnoxious Mary Sue, yet they insist on turning it up to 11 with her every new appearance.
I get that they can't publicly admit they fucked up, since shareholders don't like that, but actively making it worse is sheer stupidity.
Luke can swim though, dumb image over exaggerating
Dude...they're both Mary Sues
They may have written Luke's struggle a bit more but they're both really run of the mill generic hero's journey protags.
That being said agree about Rey fuck her
he flails around in knee deep water.
Try again
KNOCK EM OUT THE BOX LUKE
KNOCK EM OUT
>it's bad writing because Luke calls Rey a Jedi even though he didn't train her
Does he? Not that this would matter, anyways. The movie makes an explicit point of Luke basically reevaluating that being a Jedi isn't about training/following the sacred texts or whatever, it's about a respect for life and doing the right thing.
>killing off luke was rushed/lazy
I guess this is kind of a fair point. These movies are super vague about what force powers even are, so we don't really have a point of reference for how energy-intensive making a force projection a distant planet is. Still, I kind of prefer it being kept vague (see midiclorians)
>everything accomplished in the OT is pointless
This is fucking ridiculous. Do you honestly have that much stake invested in this shallow ass universe where cartoonishly villainous empires destroy planets? What makes star wars interesting narratively is the characters, not the world. Just because the empire is in control of the galaxy again doesn't mean the exploits of luke, leia and han from the first few movies were for nothing. They grew as people, that's what matters. Their characters in the sequels (particularly for luke) are explorations for what they would be like years later.
aaagghh...
>.they're both Mary Sues
No.
Stop that shit right now.
There are a hundred ways that's wrong, but since I don't want to spend the next hour writing it all in painstaking detail, let me fixate on the biggest one.
Luke is explicitly not a Mary Sue by definition of having distinct character flaws that significantly impact his character and cause problems for him.
Rey has absolutely no flaws that are presented as such, and they cause nothing that she can't effortlessly solve, or have someone infatuated by her solve for her.
How can you not see that tlj fucks their legacy comepletely, Luke is RESPONSIBLE for the state of the galaxy and he doesn't even try and fix it, yes their accomplishments being moot and them making things worse fucks their characters and as you said, Star Wars is about the characters
I would have enjoyed TLJ Luke if he was closer to Kreia rather than being a pathetic failure who's basically made into a joke
"I bypassed the character development!"
That's what youre doing on earth. You can't drink milk while thinking about what you're really doing. Once you realize you're drinking from a four legged creature that has one tit with four nipples it kinda puts you off
Probably it's because to this day nobody fucking cares about Ray or Finn
...
>yes their accomplishments being moot and them making things worse fucks their characters
Like I said, the main trio in these new movies are basically an extrapolation of these characters from the OT. And I'll accept that Luke's character isn't entirely consistent with where he ended in the OT, but to be fair a lot of time has passed. It'd be great if tlj went into more depth for why luke is a hermit, but oh well.
The reason I'm defending tlj so hard is because it's the first star wars movie since fucking jedi that felt like a new star wars movie. It's also by far the most thematically interesting. Rian Johnson tried to do something fucking different with star wars for once and while luke's character motivations at the start of the movie are sloppy in the sense that their inconsistent wit the OT, his moment with yoda and kylo redeem him in a way that's thematically resonant with the rest of the movie and an extension of the OT's timeless (and admittedly simplistic) ideas.
And anyways, doing a sequel that involves old characters in major roles basically demands that they be taken in different directions. What would be the point otherwise? Just have them doing the same shit they've always been doing? That's fan service of the hollowest kind.
