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.

Prove me wrong.

wow nice original opinion!
thx for the thread!

Only shills will “prove you wrong”

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

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.

I hate this website so much.

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.

This.

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.

>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

Who are those other people?

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.

>it would have been something more violent
No need to when it's a fan favorite character that's been around for 40 years.

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.

Okay, the EU was also a fucking mess then. I never liked the idea of Luke having kids.

>Anakin Solo
even less likely than "Ben Solo"
not a single child named after bail organa

Luke should have joined with Vader and ruled the galaxy together.

>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.

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.

>um no sweetie
What the fuck is this shitty meme

>She also sometimes carried his red lightsaber
It literally fell to the same pit where Sheev was disintegrated, how in the fuck?

Women and soyboys will never understand this.

Or maybe it was a replica or something. I don't member.

>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.

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.

maternal downtalking/shaming
woman's angle of belittling

Why does everyone keep saying Luke dies?
He became one with the Force, just like Obi-Wan did.

Okay, I just looked it up. For some reason Luke made one specially for her with a red blade. Kind of a weird choice.

How is that an argument? That's just as shitty if not worse.

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.

>Another Star Shit Thread

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

>Mara Jade

God fucking damnit

> Implying death for force users means anything in this series when characters literally appear at any time

Luke-fanboys are shit-tier "fans" on par with OTpurists and Prequelhaters

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

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.

>"See you around kiddo"
>doesn't see him around anymore

Eh

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.

Yeah, it's the YAS KWEEN SLAY response to "mansplaining" and it's literally more condescending than anything

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.

Wasn't the EU happening during the 2000's though? I'm too young to remember if it was during the OT days.

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.

>No one's ever really gone
Force ghosts are a thing in this series. He'll be back to help Rey in Episode IX

We'll never see another lightsaber fight with Luke kicking some ass though.

youtube.com/watch?v=Kj3opk1QFTM

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)

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.

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

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

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.

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

youtube.com/watch?time_continue=289&v=4XECJyWaqz4

Why didnt luke just tie Rey up to a bondage frame and start milking her?

>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.

>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

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

The Hacker with the flower was the great Timothy Bryce

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.

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

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.
