I think they made he holding the blue lightsaber as a way to keep people think if will or not use his lightsaber (the green). They made Finn hold the blue one in TFA poster as red herring so...

Luke and Mara, obviously didn't try enough. 19 ABY when they got married. By 25 ABY when the Vong war started, they still didn't have one single kid.

Hello, infertility is a thing, especially for older woman! Currently on Year Three of not being able to have a kid. But thanks for characterizing it as not trying hard enough.

Another brazenly thoughtless post like that, MU, and words will be had.

This is one of the many reasons the first Thor movie is underrated. It's hard to do hammy without being cringe-worthy, too, but this movie was full of it.

That, for me, is Branagh's handiwork - he knows exactly where to set the balance between too much and too little and a film like Thor needs that.

Synopsis for the new Luke book

“You know how Han Solo says, ‘It’s true, all of it’? Well, was it really?” Siglain says. This book by Ken Liu presents its stories as rumors circulating through the galaxy.

It’s a clever way to avoid tangling up canon while still delivering tales about the farmboy-turned-hero’s experiences between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens — and also showing what other denizens of the galaxy know about his true exploits.
“For kids coming out of that movie, for casual fans coming out of that movie, you hear about Luke Skywalker for that whole film, but you only see him for two seconds at the end. He doesn’t even say anything,” Siglain says. “This book is a book that goes into some of those stories that were told, some of those legends of Luke Skywalker. Are they true? Well, maybe. Maybe not.”
The book, which hits shelves on Oct. 31, has a structure similar to a cosmic version of The Canterbury Tales, with each traveler telling his or her story to the group over the course of their journey.
Did Luke Skywalker actually take down 20 AT-ATs in the Battle of Hoth? Was he just a charlatan who made up the story of his Death Star run? Is it possible he was at the Battle of Jakku chronicled in Chuck Wendig’s Aftermath novels?
“What are those stories that Rey has been hearing, that the rest of the galaxy has been hearing, and what has Luke been doing since then?” Siglain says. “The framing device for this is there are a bunch of kids on a cargo ship that’s traveling to the casino world of Canto Bight. Someone says something about Luke Skywalker, and they say, ‘Oh, you know, he was just a myth. That’s just a legend.’ And others say, ‘No, no, no. I know a story about him.’”
Then Liu unspools six different stories, including a first-person account (told second-hand) about a flea-like alien who claimed to be on Luke’s shoulder during some critical history.
“It’s a mole-flea named Lugubrious Mote that is present during the time of Luke’s interactions with Jabba, including his battle with the Rancor and the fight on the sail barge,” Siglain says. “The mole-flea is not present inThe Last Jedi, nor on the ship to Canto Bight, though he does help to illustrate Yoda’s point that ‘size matters not.’”

Can I just say that this sounds weird as heck? Don't like the sound of it.

Then again, IG-88 was the 2nd Death Star, so.........................

You're making a mistake assuming that the stories told within the story are all exactly 100% true.

For myself this is sounding excellent and I'm happy I've got this pre-bought.

Jason Fry is writing The Last Jedi novelization and this is very, VERY good news for Luke fans.

I agree. Fry's Weapon of a Jedi was excellent and one of the main reasons why I've remained positive about Luke in the new films.

Fry writing Luke in TLJ is guaranteed to make me like his depiction 110% more, even if I absolutely love Luke's depiction in the movie (and I have a feeling I will, anyway).

Yeah, there's definitely been positive news for Luke in the latest book announcements. Also, I'm intrigued to hear of Kieron Gillen's plans now he's taking over Star Wars. Luke's heading to Jedha, and he'll be learning of the secrets behind the theft of the Death Star plans. That's definitely an intriguing arc.
