I loved The Last Jedi save for one thing and that's the death of Luke Skywalker
Why'd the movie have to fake us out like that? First it looks like he's going to be ok and just tricked Kylo Ren but then he dies anyway? At least his sendoff is poetic and a lot better than Han's.
But man, Hamill is so fucking good in the movie, he just owns it and it seems like a wats eot kill him off rather than have "old man Luke" be an ongoing character.
Because the makers of this movie are fucking morons
>I loved The Last Jedi
You're a fucking moron as well
Sorry, I'm a pretty casual Star Wars fan and the movie gave me what I wanted to see, which is a new story, not a rehash.
But I really don't understand the thought process behind killing off Luke fucking Skywalker, I mean Ford didn't want to do it anymore, but Hamill would be up for anything.
Like I said, it's a waste.
The only way I would be ok with his death is if they do a movie of him running the Jedi Academy. I WANT MY KOTOR FEELS GODDAMNIT!!
Now a spinoff with him, that would make it ok, even if they'd have to fudge things a bit due to the timeline and the fact that they couldn't really make him much younger, but I could forgive it, just give us more Luke!
yeah no shit only a casual would like this garbage, anyone who enjoyed the original trilogy and saw it more than a single time would automatically hate this slog
We'll probably find out he had to sacrifice himself to the dark side to pull off the stunt ladadida

The movie is called "The Last Jedi" and is explicitly about letting old things pass on so the new generation and new ideas can take over. Luke had to go for the movie to work.
It's not like he died tragically like Han, this was the gentlest fucking passing you could have gotten from Luke, anyway. He died with a new sense of purpose and it's heavily implied his sacrifice caused a new wave of hope and optimism throughout the galaxy.
>The man who wrote this is likely old enough to vote
I understand all that and it's why I'm willing to forgive it and still like the movie, but Luke is a special character to me, it almost feels like the death of a real person (it doesn't help that Carrie Fisher's real life death was in the back of my mind for the movie), I honestly can't think of the death of a fictional character really feeling this way to me before.
I said I'm a casual fan by which I mean I don't go crazy over minute details, but don't get me wrong, I fucking love me some Luke Skywalker, man.
Rian Johnson is definitely old enough to vote, he's 44.
>Movie 1
Kill Han Solo
>Movie 2
Kill Luke Skywalker
>Movie 3
Kill C3PO and R2D2
>LEIA SURVIVES
WOMEN STRONK
KILL THE PAST
Not anymore she's not, but that's only because of Fisher's real life death, they were definitely going to keep Leia around because muh future is female.
>Kill C3PO and R2D2
This would cross the line. I don't think anybody would forgive them for this.
R2's barely been in the movies 3PO seems like dead weight.
Not that I think they would or should kill them off though.
They both got a scene each in TLJ but yeah neither are particularly relevant at this point. 3PO will probably always be around but I don't see R2 doing anything at all in the next one as he's effectively been replaced by the Deux Ex Machina Action Man Ball Bot.
fuck my sides
i needed those sides
Why would someone expect for Han, Leia and Luke being protagonists of these movies at the first place? Guys are(were) at their 90s. Would you really watch a movie about kickass grannies mowing down legions of Empire all over again? That would be silly.
Even their cameos would be fine and yet films allowed all of them to deliver a few epic and emotional moments (minus the Carrie, but she has managed to deliver emotional moment for us irl last year).
I would have been ok if luke was actually there and we got to see him wreck the fleet with his force god powers
Also why was his saber blue at the end? GREEN MOTHERFUCKER
Luke could have stayed on as the wise old mentor chilling on his island, even if the idea of him kicking ass would be a pipe dream.
But considering what happened with Fisher, maybe it is good that they gave him a good send off.
Fuck you, old man luke is awesome. The force doesn't care how old you are, just ask sheev.
Disney Wars is just a remix of Jaina vs Jacen. See the books if you want to know how to balance a multi generational cast without turning han and Luke into useless cowards and killing them
I feel like there was this exact same thing said about obiwan
But he'll sure gonna stay like a wise mentor. Like a wise space ghost mentor. I bet my salary on that. I bet he'll get much more screentime than Obi-wan back at ep V and VI.
Lets be honest nobody wants to buy toys and posters of some old people on them or robots that look like they were designed 30 years ago.
As a Nerd and a certified resident of Geekdom, as proven by my shelf of months worth of lootcrate figurines and super hero comic books, i approve of killing Luke Skywalker.
Btw milenial falcon was awesome!
But books of UE were pure crap. That's the reason none of those were ever turned into films, cartoons or videogames. Those were like fanfiction in pre-internet era.
>The movie is called "The Last Jedi" and is explicitly about letting old things pass on so the new generation and new ideas can take over.
Except at the end of the movie we are left with Rey as a Jedi (except without any of Luke's doubts or cynicism, who apparently still believes in the Jedi way) and Kylo who, in classic Sith fashion, killed his master and attempted to convert a new apprentice. The movie only upends Star Wars mythology on a surface level.
kek
>implying there won't be an R2D2 and BB-8 side-plot if not an entire spin-off team up movie
>>AHHA THE UGLY ISLAND WENCHES ARE DRESSED EXACTLY LIKE HUMAN AMERICAN COLONIALIST BLACK SLAVES, FUGGEN GEDDIT?
they're dressed like nuns
I was confused as fuck when he just faded away.
Still not sure if that means he's dead or not.
Please Kathleen... No... You don't need to do this...
>it looks like he's going to be ok
EXPECTATION STATUS: SUBVERTED
Also, seing the Yoda actions, ghost Luke may even kick some asses in astral form.
fellow casual fan here. I loved how the movie really tricked me and my expectations, what about you?
i eagerly await the new Lost reboot where they find bb-8 in a hatch
>about letting old things pass on so the new generation and new ideas can take over
they already did that when obi wan and yoda half-trained luke, god dammit he was set up to the harbinger of the new Jedi
>WOW LUKES NOT EVEN HERE HES BLAZING IT ON PLANET WEEDLMAO
hearty kek
Nope, even the mediocre stuff from the EU is better than anything Disney could ever shit out. Get fucked.
I loved it too, it gave me something NEW which was sorely missing from TFA.
how hilarious will it be when Luke doesn't return as a force ghost and we/Rey never learn lesson 3?
Also I bet Disney brings in fore ghost quigon just to frther make us mad
>yfw you realize they took Cade Skywalker's rejection of responsibility and forced it onto Luke
Prediction: Luke is going to come back as a "super" force ghost who can influence the physical reality much like Yoda could.
He'll still be a big part of future movies and may even still be able to fight, he'll just have a blue filter over him.
>fuck my sides
>i needed those sides
your fault for trusting your apprentice Snoke
i was shitposting get fucked bugman. The sad thing is the day I saw it I brought it up in one of my uni classes and this 100% normie bugman told me "it'll surprise you man" and only now do i understand how basic he really is
Deepest lore: what if that green milk really was tasty?
Space ghost Luke is a safest bet for Disney.
1. He can follow Rei everywhere and mentor her in most unappropriate places.
2. They can film the old man in some comfy place and not take him to nature stages.
3. They even may put him in another movies, that happen 50 years after episode VII
4. If the old man dies you don't even have to edit filmed materials. Ghost just stops to reply. And the Rei gonna be "Why did you abandoned me?!" and even gonna grow some more after that.
Don't apologize to this asshole. It just would've been a risky move to keep Luke on. New characters need to be developed, and the transformation of a seasoned Jedi Master would interrupt the pace of the next movie. He's an old man, and this murder balances out the murder of Supreme Leader Snoke.
All the milks on earth taste more or less the same. Some have more fat, others less.
It was a pure unfiltered milk though, so it probably was smelly as hell. Like a goat milk but X10 smellier.
Did the new movie contain token Asian characters to cater to the asian market? Or is Luke considered a ghost and the film is banned in china?
Hey kids, It's Mark Hamill!

This picture is some Tumblr level of shit.
This post would've described the movies issues perfectly if you didn't go full retard with it.
