But an adult sneaking into a kids room at night is going to be frowned upon in any medium. There’s something to be said for Rian Johnson making the misunderstanding of Kylo and Luke happen under THOSE circumstances. You’re trying to make a villain that committed Patricide in front of the audience to one of the most beloved film heroes a sympathetic figure. The only way to do that is to show him as a vulnerable kid (see Vader). Luke’s depression and shame from that moment ONLY makes sense if you look at it within those parameters. You can’t seriously think Rian Johnson wrote that scene and no one, not even himself questioned it as so. Which is the point. Luke sneaking into a kid’s room makes no sense. Luke pulling out his lightsaber makes no sense. Luke’s guilt to the point of submission makes no sense. Put it all together though. I’m sure other people will begin to put the pieces together soon as well...

He was going to kill homeboy is what I took it as, i don't think of molesting when I see movies that have adults going into kids rooms when they sleep. Specially if they got light sabers and plan on cutting them in half

It’s within the parameters of Star Wars and Disney. Clearly it wasn’t any funny business going on business but the overarching implication is there. Remember this was suppose to be the darkest Star Wars ever. Snoke cracking jokes and having a Willey Coyote death isn’t dark. Luke thinking about killing isn’t dark, he’s done it before. Look a little deeper. Also the robes Luke was wearing when rey first found him were for a final Jedi ritual, Luke was perching off a cliff. Notice the film shows him putting the robes up. Also notice he’s wearing the robes when he dies as well. Luke had been suicidal.

Y’all sleep.

Oh don’t run from it now. Y’all were in here cheering about Luke Skywalker’s character getting assasinated. Now y’all get presented with something real and y’all ain’t ready for it.
 
I don't know man. I think the dark part was when they were sol in that cave base after almost everyone of the homies got blasted to smithereens. I know there's evil in the world, I just choose not to interpret everything I see as such, or else I would move off the grid. Member monsters u? When they go through that door, and the "monsters" get stuck in the kids cabin? The whole premise of the monsters Inc movies could be interpreted as something super evil as well, but only if you choose to look at it that way. Freddy Krueger? Teen rapist. Santa? Molesto. Toy Story? Demonic possessed little witchcraft dolls. It would never stop.
 
aye

if Bright becomes available at midnight and the first episode is fire, i might binge watch that all night
 
Rey Skywalker

She is a Jedi, like her father before her

KK has been under the eye of scrutiny since the Lord and Miller firing. The CT firing just made things that much bigger and then you start taking the Gareth Edwards thing into consideration and it just doesn't sound like things are going smooth at Lucasfilms. I have immense faith in TLJ though and with JJ having a template to work with where he isn't trying to reintroduce Star Wars to the general audiences there are some pros. He also did great with introducing us with new characters and the final scene with the Luke and Rey staredown which I loved was his idea so eh.

JJ being a mimic though, I'm certain the phrase "I am a Jedi, like my father before me" will be uttered in episode XI :nthat:

Baby daddy Luke :nerd:


I'm extremely curious to see what Rian has made TLJ out to be. He's stated that Luke Skywalker was his favorite character growing up and that he wants to explore a realistic approach to what Luke would be doing after RotJ That's why I'm kinda convinced Rey is Luke's child. It seems like a mature theme to explore with him. The man with the absentee father growing up to be an absentee father

From all this, to Uncle Luke is a rapist.

Life moves swiftly. :lol:
 
I’m down with the theories, & all that nonsense. If you realize, I have yet to read a single theory that came true for The Last Jedi. Disney has a vision, & not a single one of our ideas will make it on the screen.
 
Disney has a history of being perverted with their films. For those that don’t know def google their films. Beyond that, Star Wars has always dealt with adult themes. Then look at the themes being dealt with in today’s society and Rian’s past films like Brick. Y’all gotta really watch this movie.
 
You gotta stop man, you look so foolish.

You didn't get your wish. You didn't like the film. It's ok. You can feel that way.

But stop with the Rian Johnson/Disney decided to make Luke some perverted uncle with his lightsaber in one hand, and Kylo's in the other.

Just stop dude. It's pathetic.

Wait 6 months, you can bash the Solo film and say Chewie was bonin Han before Leia was, will be great for your schtick.
 
The theme of redemption came after his failure. Like his pops. I'm hoping the whole thing wraps up with Kylo not finding redemption, thereby ending things definantly, but we'll see.
 
They killed Luke Skywalker and made him a failure. Pedo Luke isn’t beyond comprehension

They didn't make him a failure.

They made him a Jedi. Same as Yoda, Qwi-Gon, Obi Wan, Mace, and all the other Jedi thru history who died not having defeated evil from the Galaxy, but passing on their knowledge to whoever's "next"

Maybe not how you wanted, but plenty are just fine with it.

I told you, I ****ING TOLD YOU, you were setting yourself up with all your stupid hopes for Rey to be a Skywalker and only a Skywalker. Two years I been tellin you to let that **** go.

Now look at you. Pedo Luke. :{

Stop embarrassing yourself man.

You’ve done all the embarrassing in this thread trying to co-sign this farce of a film that’s supposedly pt 8 of Star Wars. Don’t try and find good in what they did to Luke Skywalker in that film, he died a failure. Students died that he couldn’t protect. Kylo is full emersed in the dark side. His pupil after that learned nothing from him that she didn’t already know. Yoda is still having to teach him **** that he supposedly grasped 30 years ago and he ain’t even special cause there’s a whole galaxy of force sensitive prodigies out there. Luke Skywalker is dead and did nothing meaningful in 30 years other than create a darkside entity. Y’all gonna have to deal with it eventually and not try and spin it like “he died a legend” lmfao HE WAS ALREADY A LEGEND

Some of y’all so sleep y’all think Luke being a force ghost while alive was cool :{ get this movie the **** outta here.
 
The entire Jedi order let a Sith Lord rule them without their knowledge while they simultaneously turned "The one" into Darth Vader, the only two that lived spent two decades in solitude.

I'd say Luke did MUCH better than they did.

Like I said before, read the EU cover to cover, you'll get the Luke you want, guaranteed.
 
One of the deleted scenes in the blue ray

Ths post contains light spoilers for Star Wars: The Last Jedi, so read on at your own peril.

The Last Jedi had the longest runtime of any Star Wars film so far, but even so, some stuff got left on the cutting room floor. Collider revealed that 20 minutes of deleted scenes would be included on the Blu-ray, although it likely wouldn’t be in original three-hour-cut form. While a few details from the additional material were revealed, /Film has the details of one of the major cut scenes, involving Rey and Luke Skywalker after their discussion about Darth Sidious.

Rey notices boats arriving at the island and there appears to be a big fire from where they’re landing. Luke tells her that it is a group of bandits who regularly come back to the island to plunder and kill the caretakers. Rey is very concerned and wants to help them, but Luke tells her that if you help them now, the raiders will come back stronger and it will make things worse in the future. He asks Rey if she is always going to be here to protect them, saying that a true Jedi Knight would do nothing and would only act to maintain balance, even when people get hurt.

Rey, furious at his reasoning, ignites her lightsaber and runs really fast… She runs over rocks on shallow water and bursts through a door with her saber into the village square ready for battle. Luke yells for her to wait, but she doesn’t stop.

She is surprised to learn that it’s not a raiding party, but an actual party, with caretakers celebrating and swinging glow sticks. The caretakers all stop and look at Rey, confused. One of the caretaker motions her her glow stick and Rey swings her lightsaber, imitating her movements, and sighs. The caretakers resume partying. Rey spots Chewbacca sitting at the party with a bunch of Porgs and R2-D2 (wearing a festive necklace). “Seriously?” Rey says to Chewie before storming out to find Luke.
 
The theme of redemption came after his failure. Like his pops. I'm hoping the whole thing wraps up with Kylo not finding redemption, thereby ending things definantly, but we'll see.

The guy killed his father Han and a bunch of other people. I hate how in the sw world that deciding to not follow the dark side anymore is seen as redemption.
 
Whew, I'm glad i don't have to formulate my own opinion anymore, thanks! All that trying to find stuff was hurting my eyeballs. You ever try watching anything else? Might get that bad taste out your mouth.

Yeah, that's why I hope Rey picks up Kylo over her head and throws him down an exhaust, too.
 
Yea, C CP1708 ...the movie just isn't very good bro.

Put it this way, remember when Theo made all the moves early in the Cubbies' rebuild? Hundreds of scouting hours. Then he signed Lester, and although the roster was far from set, it showed a sense of legitimacy. It showed that good days were coming...and they were coming soon.

Now, imagine Theo being let go , and some other GM trading away all the prospects and young guys that Theo had acquired and set up as the future.

That's how the Last Jedi felt to me. Riann Johnson made this movie as if he had beef with Abrams. He said, screw Theo, I'm building this team my way.
