ST Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker) in the ST

We saw that the mere thought of his sister being turned was almost enough to send him over the edge. "Failing" his sister, her son and watching his student murder the rest of his students would test him like nothing before.

 

True Star Wars Grit

 

I love this. It explains why his other students all died. Kylo is extra trained and they're under-trained.

 

TFA-Cameo Luke, Mute Luke, and Starring forever Luke
TLJ-Broken Man Luke and Emo Luke
IX-????

Can't wait to see what we'll get in IX!!!

 

I hope Luke gets out of his Broken Man status as fast as possible.

I'm still waiting for a Luke with a plan, doesn't really seem like he has any....

 

IX-fast and furious Luke

 

Y'all, I'm probably going to legit cry when I see this movie for the first time. No shame.

 

or
2 Luke too Furious!
Terminator Luke
Super Luke
Lukecalypse

etc.

 

There´s one thing that doesn´t make sense to me.
From the EW interview we learn that Luke thought that Ben (Kylo) was the chosen one.
How can he think such a thing when Leia brought Ben to Luke to train with him for the reason there was to much Vader in him and Snoke was targeting him. When he already displayed darkside tendencies why would Luke think Ben is the new chosen one, it doesn;t make sense to me

 

Because Luke may have thought Ben could overcome those tendencies and become an even better leader to the future Jedi. One who was tempted by the dark but (Luke was sure) would overcome those temptations. Or he thought his compassion could save Ben and Ben became is passion project.

I think there is something more that caused Luke to "break." I think it wasn't just the fact that he trained Ben, and Ben went out and killed everyone and "destroyed it all," but perhaps Luke was actually faced with a situation where he either fought back and almost killed, or had the chance to kill Ben. Maybe he felt the Dark Side within him, and caught himself almost killing his own nephew. That might have been enough to completely push him over the ledge, and convince him that it is best if he just left everything, and everyone behind.

(Also, the stuff with him and Rey is sounding like The Fisher King. She is going to have to "heal" him.)

 

Narrator: Faster than a a laser blast. More powerful than a Star Destroyer. Able to jump far in a single bound.
Man 1: Look! Up in the sky! It’s a Porg.
Woman: It’s an X-Wing
Man 2: It’s Luke Skywalker!
Narrator: Yes, it’s Luke, strange visitor from Tatooine who came to Ahch-To with powers and abilities far beyond those of mortal men. Luke, who can change the course of mighty Galaxies, uses the power of the force with his bare hands. And who, disguised as a Broken Man, fights a never ending battle for truth, justice and the Jedi way. And now another exciting episode of the Skywalker Saga.

Here's Super Luke!!!! For IX....

 

idk, it still doesn't make sense to me, I think it's a stupid choice of the writers to make Luke think that Ben was a chosen one. I do not agree with this.

 

i also noticed the author used the word sith in association with kylo. makes me wonder how much attention he gave to these little factual details. of course it is possible that kylo could defeat snoke because he wants to be a sith and rejects snoke's dark side approach. but so far in the known story, neither kylo nor snoke are sith.

 

I'm not taking it as capital C-O Chosen One from a prophecy, but chosen as successor and next leader of the Jedi.

If Luke thought Ben was an answer to a prophecy I would also find that dumb.

Also seems like the premise for the Tomorrowland movie. Luke is like George Clooney's character in Tomorrowland it seems, and Rey is like Casey (Britt Robertson).

 

Right. Though it's a much, much older story then Tomorrowland. The Fisher King is the earliest iteration I'm aware of.

 

IX - Magnificent Luke going all Yoda in ROTS

 

Broken Luke. Saw that coming. Can't wait for the eventual reveal of Lucas' ST and what the real story of Luke Skywalker is.

Of course they won't do anything that damages or detracts from super-Rey, so perfect that she is the only desert scavenger in the history of the galaxy capable of swimming.

The title made perfect sense. The Jedi Returned to the galaxy and their active role in protecting it via Luke.
