They just killed him for shock value, but really nothing else. Luke Skywalker died for the sake of Luke Skywalker dying, for the sake of upsetting the fans. Which undoubtedly worked because it's been four days and I still am pissed off.
Don't worry he will be resurrected when it's revealed that porgs are force sensitive and bring him back to life on his island
Hunter Bell
He was a symbol of the dying white man. Living isolated and eventually killing himself when the world has slipped from his once powerful fingers.
Thomas Lopez
I hate this website so much.
Thomas Wilson
The character of Luke Skywalker doesn't represent power. He declined the chance to rule the galaxy to save his father. He's more a representation of persistence and virtue. It seemed weird when he just gave up at the end.
Dominic Morgan
This.
Nolan Martinez
He died because he failed and to pay for his failure he passed on what he could to the FUTURE (Rey) to fix his mistake and he's at peace now because of it so he had his moment time to pass the torch blah blah blah blah Also I can't wait until Mark Hamill fucking loses it on the writers on camera. He disagrees with literally every single decision Luke made in that piece of shit movie.
Luis Kelly
>He disagrees with literally every single decision Luke made in that piece of shit movie Yet people won't acknowledge it because >B-BUT HE CHANGED HIS MIND AND HE LOVES IT NOW He is either getting a cut from the money the movie gets or it's in his contract that he cannot shit talk TLJ, but I don't think he likes what they did with Luke.

WISH WE COULD TURN BACK TIME, TO THE GOOD OLD DAYS
Carter King
Who are those other people?
Aiden Nelson
I don't know, if they killed him for shock value, I think it would have been something more violent. Instead, his death reinforces much of what we've already heard about force mysticism.
Daniel Anderson
>it would have been something more violent No need to when it's a fan favorite character that's been around for 40 years.
Zachary Sullivan
Clockwise from bottom left:
Anakin Solo Jacen Solo Jaina Solo Leia Organa Solo Han Solo Luke Skywalker Ben Skywalker Mara Jade Skywalker R2-D2
And in the background are two Noghri guards. It was truly a better time.
Aiden Wood
Okay, the EU was also a fucking mess then. I never liked the idea of Luke having kids.
Connor Clark
>Anakin Solo even less likely than "Ben Solo" not a single child named after bail organa
Cooper Edwards
Luke should have joined with Vader and ruled the galaxy together.
Nathan Fisher
>expecting socialist kikes to understand virtue
um no sweetie, he was a cis gender white male and he needed to be removed from the franchise.
Christopher Sullivan
It was supposed to show that Leia had come to terms with her father's legacy or something. She also sometimes carried his red lightsaber.
Elijah Brooks
>um no sweetie What the fuck is this shitty meme
Wyatt Lopez
>She also sometimes carried his red lightsaber It literally fell to the same pit where Sheev was disintegrated, how in the fuck?
Jaxson Parker
Women and soyboys will never understand this.
Isaiah Bell
Or maybe it was a replica or something. I don't member.
Ryan Evans
>They just killed him for shock value, but really nothing else
No, the primary purpose was to kill the old stars so that people would focus on the new ones.
They noticed people were more excited about Old Man Luke than anything else so they continued the murder spreee.
Thomas Bell
There was no shock in my theatre. Just a "well fuck, what a shit end to a shitty movie".
People left really fucked off with the whole thing, but I think after "General Hugs? Hello? Bad connection?" SuperLeia, "NOW it's worth it!" and all the other shitty, horrible scenes, people were just resigned to the terrible conclusion to a terrible film.
Kayden Williams
maternal downtalking/shaming woman's angle of belittling
Isaac Murphy
Why does everyone keep saying Luke dies? He became one with the Force, just like Obi-Wan did.
Asher Ramirez
Okay, I just looked it up. For some reason Luke made one specially for her with a red blade. Kind of a weird choice.
Jack Cooper
How is that an argument? That's just as shitty if not worse.
William Gray
Rian's reasoning was the final act of the trilogy has to focus on the new characters.
He's not wrong from a pure story telling standpoint but the problem is the new characters suck and no one is going to these movies for them.
Eli Brown
>Another Star Shit Thread
David Rivera
yeah its much better that he spent most of the 30 years after ROTJ sucking an alien monster's titty and hanging out with memebirds
>breaks ur narrative he said this before the movie even came out
Isaiah Morales
>Mara Jade
God fucking damnit
Evan Barnes
> Implying death for force users means anything in this series when characters literally appear at any time
Thomas Powell
Luke-fanboys are shit-tier "fans" on par with OTpurists and Prequelhaters
Lincoln Price
Luke died because he was the best part of the whole movie. if he didn't die, no one would care about the new characters as much as they cared about his story continuing
Camden Robinson
How did he give up?
Are you talking like pre-the events in TLJ? Or are you saying how he “died” was him giving up.
Bentley Butler
>"See you around kiddo" >doesn't see him around anymore
Eh
Carson Collins
He's a pro and he probably won't shit on the movie until at least Episode IX is out of theaters, but I really hope he unloads at some point.
Nolan Bailey
Yeah, it's the YAS KWEEN SLAY response to "mansplaining" and it's literally more condescending than anything
Aaron Williams
Red lightsabers weren't a specifically evil/Sith thing until the prequels. The Dark Jedi in Dark Forces 2, for example, have all different colors.
Noah Lee
Wasn't the EU happening during the 2000's though? I'm too young to remember if it was during the OT days.
Ethan Kelly
It really kicked off with the Thrawn Trilogy in the early 90s, although there were a few things before that like Splinter of the Mind's Eye which came out right after the first movie as a kind of alternate sequel.
Cameron Nguyen
>No one's ever really gone Force ghosts are a thing in this series. He'll be back to help Rey in Episode IX
Wyatt Gray
We'll never see another lightsaber fight with Luke kicking some ass though.
So what? All he needs is to be able to use the force and TLJ proves that the ghosts can still influence the real world (Yoda summoning lightning down out of a lightning cloud)
Leo Green
Liking the director and disagreeing with them are two different things. Not to mention the plethora of ghostwriters under Kasdan responsible for the narrative assraping Hamill has the most faults with.
William Carter
If Lando and force ghost Luke don't appear in 9, I'm going to be on the news. Screencap this. Initials G R P
Tyler Johnson
Disney wants all the old fucks dead and gone. They wants new star wars film each year untill they drive it into the ground. Get away from these old stars and move on to new stories
Jeremiah Robinson
I doubt they will ever give lightsabers to force ghosts.
I really thought the "hacker with the flower" was going to be Lando, instead we got some stuttering faggot.
Cooper Peterson
Luke found the peace and purpose he had been missing for the decade since Kylo turned. No one is surprised he died, so it's not a shock. He achieved the level of enlightenment that allows Jedi to transcend as Obi-Wan and Yoda did
Why didnt luke just tie Rey up to a bondage frame and start milking her?
Tyler Torres
>They just killed him for shock value
That and a lack of creativity. Of course if they had that they would just make some new shit.
Ian Moore
>I doubt they will ever give lightsabers to force ghosts. Pull a Kreia and let Luke swing them around with the force. Again in TLJ we saw that someone can turn a lightsaber on with the force when Kylo smoked Snoke
Camden Morris
LUKE IS STAR WARS
NOT LEIA
CLEARLY THEY ARE KILLING OFF THE OLD CAST
LUKE SHOULD DIE IN THE FINALE, NOT AS A SKRUB IN THE MIDDLE MOVIE
Christian Roberts
The Hacker with the flower was the great Timothy Bryce
Grayson Flores
That's true but everyone seems to be pushing this narrative that Hamill hates Rian and I really don't think that's true. Hamill disagreed with Lucas on things but he still says he wishes Lucas was running the sequels.
Asher Rivera
Is there anyone, who found that shocking? I pretty much knew that when Luke was shown at the end of TFA. Next movie will be Leia and Chewie. Mark my words
Josiah King
We all knew his time was coming, but not in the middle of the fucking trilogy. It should've been some Yoda kind of deal.
