    What do you mean kinda sorta? They are. Padme just didn’t know what she would name her children yet or maybe she did. I don’t know

    The CGI was very good. Perhaps better than what they did in TROS. But how far can they really go with those effects, I ain't sure.

    That through the DST story presented of Luke Skywalker that stretches back years before TFA he had become a coward, quitter and traitor to all that he once believed in. He fell into completely buying into his own greatness and legend. He became completely arrogant and lost touch to the point that he was mind-probing his nephew while he slept by creeping into his room at night. He never trained ONE person to carry on the Jedi. Leia quit on him and when he finally started a Jedi training temple his own nephew turned on him with the other students either all being killed or leaving with Kylo Ben.

    Of course they can rewrite this if they want to but if it's still going to feed into the same events then that's putting a band-aid on a mortal wound.

    I think no matter what a part of it will always be uncanny valley

    I meant it as in they're talking about him indirectly. They're only talking about their child, not knowing whether it's a Luke or a Leia so to speak. :p

    There was a moment where Luke nodded and it looked abit like a bobble head. But the effects were impressive... But it does seem to be limited by what CGI can pull and I dunno whether that's a shame for what they could do with the character in future.

    The effects make me intrigued for the Obi Wan show now.

    Grogu could actually be Luke's first student...

    I don’t think you need to de-age Hayden or Ewan yet anyway

    Oh, okay, yeah I guess I don't look at it like that. But I see what you're saying.

    I do go with the buying into his own greatness and legend part.

    But the "coward, quitter and traitor to all that he once believed in" part, I just look at it as he tried to do something that he wasn't meant to do and the Force manifested it's will upon him with Kylo Ren.

    He failed, but he made up for it in the end.

    And Yoda...
    ...Luke passed on what he learned to Rey, and it continues.

    I think Leia is his first student, but I don't know if we've been given an exact timeline of her training.

    I think it would be closer to Endor than this show is

    Would be interesting to see if there is anymore after Leia

    I'd be okay with that. I do have some misgivings due to what we have learned about what happens in the future, but I won't jump the gun and will wait for those stories to be told. I was always a big fan of Luke having trained secret students. Perhaps this is where they are going with it.

    Headcanon is that in TROS, when Luke and Leia deactivate their lightsabers and look at each other, it's because they just sensed Grogu reaching out on the Seeing Stone.

    Yes, that's my thought as well.

    Fair enough, yeah, that might be. Can't wait to see where this is going. No way Grogu is at Luke's temple when Kylo Ren happens.

    I agree, wait for the story to be told. We know whats coming but anything can happen between then. Grogu could be on a mission with his master Kyle Katarn ;)

    I think it’s still Topped by Vader on Rogue One but people will be talking about this for ever.

    Luke would’ve beaten Ben Solo if he weren’t depressed on the island, and made it to Crait in time for an in person duel. I have no doubt. He’s like a light side version of Vader, because well, he’s his son. I had no idea this was going to happen. I agree - it’s a quality moment. One for the fans.

    If this were the only thread in the forum it would make sense.
