A coward?

What else do you call someone who abandons the galaxy while the problem he helped create terrorizes millions of innocent people? Luke brought a rabid pitbull into a house full of people, let it off it’s leash, and then left his mess for others to fix. That’s not Luke Skywalker.
I see what Rian Johnson was going for but you can’t rewrite an already established character in a sequel trilogy, and that’s essentially what he did.

This is Luke with what 30+ years of life experience, gaining knowledge and wisdom , yet he’s still so susceptible to making brash and impulsive decisions.
You’re sister sent your nephew to you to guide and counsel him as he is troubled by the dark side, and you go into the quarters of a sleeping child, and briefly think about murdering him based on the possibility of shyt he hasn’t even done yet?

So maybe a star wars lore master can explain this to me....

Why was she able to shoot lighting, isn't that an sith exclusive ability...? And her being tempted by the darkside isn't a good answer.

The yellow light saber at the end was that her new one? If so come on movie...at least show how she acquired it

Are abilities pasted down through birth? If so why would Palpatine a master planner that is manipulating things from the shows for years have kids and just let them go on living where ever... knowing that one down the line will be force sensitive? The sit seem pretty dumb for bad guys... like if force is "bloodline" related then have kids and train force sensitive ones up from youth to be sith.

Why did Kylo fade away after giving force but rey didn't after a force nuke....?
Jedi normally can't do it...

In the EU, Luke can do the Jedi equivalent of Force Lightning known as "Emerald Lightning" but by then Luke was damn near Ultra Instinct and a God-tier Jedi.

What they CAN do is reflect it back at the Sith to harm them with their own dark energy, which is what Mace Windu did against Palpatine before Anakin stepped in.

Only a Jedi strong in the force can do it...Luke was strong when he faced Palpatine but he was not as skilled as Mace or even Yoda. Mace Windu mastered the saber form that was close to the dark side but powerful as fukk if a Jedi could control it, which is why he could reflect Palps own darkness back at him.

The only downside to it is that if you don't destroy the Sith with their own Force Lightning, it makes them stronger because all you really did is magnify their own dark energy back on them and they FEED on the Dark Side.

And yeah...we assume that Rey made the pilgrimage to Illum to find her own kyber crystal since she does have the ancient Jedi texts and it would likely have told her to go there

Asian Jara Jar had no place in a SW movie...

RJ even said so himself...He said he created her based on a high school asian nerd fantasy crush...

I shyt you not...

“When I wrote that character of Rose, she was genuinely a nerd, like someone who I would have actually hung out with in high school. She felt like a character who didn’t belong in a Star Wars movie. And it appealed to me.”

if some virgins on the internet weren't fukkin a$$holes to the actress herself, not a soul on Earth would give even a sniff of a fukk about the Rose character. I'm gonna stop there, b/c i don't wanna sound like a Trump voter, but fukk man, stfu. they're talkin about Rose Tico Disney+ series. get the fukk outta here. Blame Rian Johnson for that character, not Kelly herself, or JJ.

Didn't give 2 damns about Rose...but I was disappointed that the wrong sister was killed off
Could've been a good consolation for Finn:francis:

Trust people would've had a lot less to say about Paige :hubie:

And it seems the Jannah chick is teaming up with Lando to find out where her family is and Rey prefers psychopaths so :manny:

Jannah is supposed to be Lando's daughter but because JJ hates nuance and elaboration, he probably cut the scene that made that clear for the audience.

What was kylo’s intentions flying at rey full speed in his tie fighter without firing a single blast or torpedo only to get his shyt sliced up?? It looked cool but wtf was the point

:russ:
See the bold breh, eye candy is all that scene was and you're not supposed to think about it...

JJ thinks he's Spielberg but in reality he is to scifi films what Michael Bay is to action films...

At least Michael Bay doesn't pretend to give a fukk if a scene makes sense and formulating a cohesive plot, if the concept sounds dope to him, he will put it on film...

JJ legitimately thinks he can get away with weak plot devices and asinine scenes by masking them with cool CGI...

JJ honestly has been coasting for so long. He’s gotten off pretty light for all the trash he’s put out if we being honest...
