ST Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker) in the ST

How about wait for 8 and we will see . In stead of fighting about who’s right

 

I think everyone needs to relax...and yes that includes those who have nothing better to do than dump on concerned Luke fans.

I agree that we should not expect Luke to be the same character, but like Superman (not saying he should be a Superman), he was and should be the becon of "hope" for the galaxy. And the fact that the core essence of the character may have changed - and while we havent seen the movie yet - Mark Hamill has pretty much caused some worry with his choice of words, so there is a reason for Luke fans to worry.

Everyone has their wants.

[Unnecessary]

Some people want a different Luke, I do too. I just hope they do it in a fashion that is logical and respectful, and that he has something worthy to contribute to this trilogy except just simply being Yoda 2.0 or die off as another mentor. With Han's death and CF's real life passing - there is a concern that all of our beloved heroes will just end up beaten and battered and die - just to make room for these new heroes. I hope that is not the case, but if it is - then yes, that is a major issue to me as a lifelong Star Wars fan.

We will find out in 3 weeks. Until then...just do what Luke says...breathe...just....breathe.

 

Following their exploits in the Prequel Trilogy, that is exactly what happened to beloved heroes Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda in the OT. They ultimately died to make room for new heroes.

 

They prefer the third option - fighting while waiting ;o)

 

very well said wise words.

 

Bob Effette: Except that the original movie had Obi-Wan and Yoda dying. The original hero is Luke Skywalker, not Obi-Wan or Yoda. Thats the big difference and your point makes no sense.

 

Liar. He is being forced to tow the line

And now the heroes are the younger characters, much like Luke was in the OT, and Obi-Wan was in the PT. My point makes perfect sense. In each trilogy, the older characters must make way for the next generation.

 

I can relate to that a little because it has happened to me . It’s like growing up in a religion and taught a certain way . Just to find out your preacher priest rabbi doesn’t practice what he preaches or you find what they preach is wrong

 

There are several ways to make this possible, you can do it in a radical way to place the young ones in a hopeless situation. We had this from PT to OT. There is a chance of a smoothly transition, in which not everyone of the mentors dies and instead retreats to some degree, but is still valuable to share the knowledge to the youth. This would be indeed finally not a rehash of the OT and a progression

 

Yea I know lol and it’s fun to watch While I’m waiting

 

what do you mean with this?

 

That's what Yoda effectively did. He retreated until such a time he could impart knowledge to the youth. This whole business of Luke in self-imposed exile until the next generation suddenly shows up looking for tutelage is exactly a rehash of TESB. The characters are different, and the details will be different, but we are seeing familiar plot devices.

 

Just as a reminder:

It's fine to say, "I personally don't like this" about a possible story development. But flooding the thread with negativity in order to drown out constructive discussion needs to be avoided, and it's unacceptable to tell the "Luke haters" what they can go do to themselves. This level of discourse needs to stop immediately.

 

The core of Luke’s character resides in his moral choices and was never really about his ability or power. He really was a mortal among titans in the OT: Vader, Palaptine, Ben and Yoda. This is what I hope is retained in this new interpretation of the character. Luke putting his family and friends first before his own well being. I’m hopeful that these aspects of Luke’s character will be retained. Three weeks from today we’ll find out.

I am almost certain Luke will survive episode 8.

You cant have Han die and then do the same trick with Luke in the next movie.

 

Another point for the side of reason and sanity....

Well, I took that conversation as he WILL be in IX, so I see that as something positive regardless of who is directing.

 

Yeah I’m really flooding the thread with negativity

I mean that Mark had huge problems with his character and now is pretending they were on the same page all along. Mark had been speaking up and KK does not like it . One of the biggest causes of concern is Hamill problem with Rian over his character. Pretty sure I’m having a constructive conversation

When has Mark pretended they were on the same page all along. He’s always said he was shocked by the direction Rian had taken, but that he got on board with RJ’s vision once they got going.

 

I won't be surprised if there's a cliffhanger of some kind, but yeah, I'm sure Luke will survive and physically appear in IX.

 

He almost certainly will based on the Journal of the Whills entry used in TFA novel. "Resolving of the grey through refined Jedi sight." Unless Rey gets fully trained in TLJ it's got to be Luke who brings this to conclusion.

 

Lor San Tekka's comments at the beginning of TFA will be realised.

 

Is balance the existence of light without dark or is it an equilibrium between the two? It's this change in lore that is key in how this all plays out IMO.
