i can’t believe people were surprised that luke skywalker tossed his lightsaber in the last jedi i mean he saved the galaxy by doing the exact same thing why tf not do it again
when in doubt: yeet
the best part of tlj was Luke meeting Leia again for the first time in 15 whatever years and the FIRST FUCKING THING Leia says is “I know. I changed my hair.” FUCKING iconic
Yknow I think I really like bitter old man Luke because he’s so relatable. I too am a dramatic gay who is also old and bitter and is ready to Die. Keep your well wishes away from me I’m ready to force ghost out of this binch
I feel like most of the people who are salty about Luke being portrayed as a bitter old man are younger people that didn’t have to wait FOURTY YEARS for Mark Hamill to reprise his role like did you really think we were just gonna roll up to his Depression Island and he was gonna be the same desert twink all these years later?

I totally agree. I think the final movie can be taken in two main directions. Kylo can either confront all of this conflict going on inside of him and decide he can be better than it all. That he can forgive what had been done to him. That he can forgive Luke for what he almost did (now isn’t that an interesting dynamic?). Or, he can turn away from it all. He can blame all of the conflict within himself on others and turn away from the light for good. I really hope, especially on the ending note of a sad and broken Kylo (and as a result viewer sympathy for him rises), that in the final movie he makes things right, however he chooses to go about that.
I feel like the redemption arc at this point in time would be the most fulfilling ending because it would deliver the most closure and bring the trilogy down to a more complete ending. Or even at this point I can see a sacrificial arc like Darth Vader’s (which would also be a more complete ending - with how much Kylo idolized Darth Vader). Kylo going full dark side at this point would feel like such a cop-out tbh but it’s still a good possibility

No in TFA all we see is Simon Pegg alien guy holding baby Rey’s arm as her parents’ ship leaves (unless there’s a DVD extra I’m missing?). We never hear or see her parents. In the flashback in Maz’s basement she hears Obi-Wan (Ewan’s voice) say something like “these are only your first steps” and everyone was like “kdhfakgbh she’s a Kenobi!!!!!!!!!!!!!” but can’t we just let her be nobody? Can’t we just let her be some scavenger girl and not like Secret Jedi Princess Chosen One or w/e like Anakin’s been there done that already and look how that turned out. Plus Rian took everything JJ set up and just kinda threw it in the trash and went in the complete opposite direction entirely and I feel like JJ was trying to build up to her being something and because Rian did everything else opposite of JJ I feel like that would be no exception.

WAIT I’m not done!
Okay a huge theme in tlj was essentially Luke passing the torch on to Rey. She has to be the hero now. What she was looking for in Luke she has in herself. This is about the era of the Skywalkers coming to an end. Luke’s done his job. He can be free, he can be one with the force now. And because of this I would HOPE Rey isn’t related to anyone from the earlier trilogies. Because this whole movie, this whole 7-8-9 trilogy, is laying your old heroes to rest. Han, Luke, Leia, they’ve done their jobs. They’ve completed their stories. Rey is new. Rey doesn’t need to be from some important lineage. She’s making her OWN name. This is about the ending of one journey and the beginning of another - of Rey’s journey. She doesn’t need to be somebody. She doesn’t need Luke to be the hero. SHE’S the hero. SHE is the one making her own name. Rey isn’t the continuation of the heroes of days past. She is her own hero. She is her own beginning.

Luke Skywalker, immediately upon being handed Anakin’s lightsaber: this bitch empty
[tosses off cliff]
TLJ wasn’t the Star Wars we wanted but it was the Star Wars we needed.
Like Luke’s write-off pissed off a lot of fans but I wouldn’t call his behavior ooc I mean he’s still the massive gay drama queen as always.
But on a serious note the movie wonderfully delivers some very heavy and hard-to-swallow lessons (just like Rogue One did).
Heroes fail. Leaders fall. The ways of the Jedi were flawed. Everyone has their weaknesses. People become old and bitter and broken. Not everything has to mean something, sometimes your heroes are nobodies, abandoned on backwater planets by alcoholic parents. The movie rips your favorite characters from you and burns your hopes and beliefs to the ground. Luke and Yoda burn them to the ground. It’s real. It’s upsetting. But it’s real.
This movie scorched the proverbial garden so that greener plants may grow. So that new heroes may rise from the ashes of the ones that came before them. Stronger, better, wiser.
the best part of The Last Jedi was the reconfirmation that Luke Skywalker is the most dramatic hoe in the entire galaxy and likes to wallow around on his depression island jumping across ravine’s and sitting on cliff’s while staring at the sunset… always staring into the sunset
