ST Broom Boy (Temiri Blagg)

I think there are a number of people who are Force-sensitive but don't actually realize it as well. We know that midichlorians live in "all living things" and it's just a matter of the concentration and attunement to the Force, basically.

I was already curious about this in TFA but whether or not JJ says so, nobody is going to change my mind that Poe Dameron is a Force user after TLJ. I mean the signs are blatantly obvious. If this wasn't intentional on Rian's part he must have just figured make Poe the most "in tune" guy ever with regard to his instincts. He knows right away when Finn and Rose were captured, almost like he sensed it, he wakes up right when something happens to Rey (aboard the transport), and the way he flies an X-Wing seems impossible without being Force-sensitive. He is no Jedi, sure, but the guy is strong with the Force. I would love to see JJ go somewhere with that, frankly, because it's textually apparent just from watching the first two movies.

 

I thought the ending was okay and read to me like Rian Johnson was using his (at the time) only Star Wars movie to tell the most complete story, and that story was basically about the legacy Luke, the Rebellion, and the Jedi have left on the Galaxy.

I would have preferred a more character-centric ending, though.

 

Uh, no, not really. Strength is relative - anyone *can* perhaps have the Force, but not all will be strong in it. It can arise in any person of any background at any time, but just like a 4'10" young man will almost certainly never be a stand-out basketball player in the pros, or 6'5" person will probably never be the jockey riding the Triple Crown winner - strength is manifested differently in folks. Some will be wiser, some funnier, some more contemplative, some more artistic - and some more genetically strong (potentially strong, not necessarily realized) in the Force.

 

The child holding the makeshift Luke toy has him standing in front of makeshift AT AT toys, doesn’t he? I may be wrong, but it kinda looked that way to me after my third viewing. If so, that’s really cool. The word is getting out about his legendary act.

 

That's exactly what's happening. Luke is the Legend the galaxy needs.

 

You guys didn't know? Disney is a bit occupied with their Fox purchase, but after that they're going to buy Warner Bros. and Broom Boy sets up their Harry Potter - Star Wars shared cinematic universe. Broom Boy ends up becoming the next great wizard, but instead of just being able to use magic, he can also use the Force. Of course, this makes perfect sense as Broom Boy will need the combined training of Hogwarts / wizardry AND the Jedi Order to be able to combat Thanos with his army of Navi that he puts under mind control in the Harry Potter-Star Wars Combined Universe meets the Avatar-Marvel Shared Cinematic Expansion

 

I've never thought of Poe being Force-sensitive, but didn't he know Rose and Finn got captured because he heard it over the little speaker thing BB8 threw to Finn?

 

To me it's just Finn's seeming intuition in general, especially during piloting, that makes me think he has to be Force-sensitive. Sure, you can just be a good pilot, but he's a bit beyond merely good. I'm ok if they never bring it up, but I think the guy has something special going on

 

Completely agree. I should have used the term "force sensitive" of course, not every force user will be as strong as Luke of Anakin or Yoda etc, as always there will be some who can feel it and use it just not to the degree of a Jedi (the kind of individual who might join the Jedi service corps in he days of the Old Republic) and there will always be a variation in skills, such as the Horn family trait of lacking telekinesis. My point is that is that it has always been established that the force can manifest itself in anybody, which seems to have come as a shock to some people who watched the film.

 

"To think the light dies with the Jedi is vanity"

 

I agree with this. In fact it was predictable after Takodana in TFA. He will definitely form part of the new Jedi.

 

He knew they were captured because he was listening in via Finn's communicator.

 

I’m surprised so many people are over analysis games the last scene and speculating about its future. It was a straightforward scene that Luke had reignited hope in the galaxy as well as his legend. The boy was himself was unimportant aside from the symbolism.

 

Same with Rey.

She could use the feel the Force, but needed training to become something more than just a FS.

Also isn't it a fact that the First Order takes children at an early age and force them to serve First Order Storm-troopers?

Preach it @Bowen .

Also, Leia 'watching' over him and 'needing' him to be patient hints at it as well I believe.

 

I hope Broom Kid ends up under Kylo's employ. That would be a dark twist.

 

I liked in the EU (in I, Jedi, I think) where they established that different people can have different strengths within the Force. Its not like there is an overall Force power level, but the Force is an entity that different people have different abilities to manipulate in various ways.

 

Well, she needs more than 2 days worth of training.

 

This kid obviously knows he can do special things like grab a broom out of air. Rey had no such knowledge she could do anything like that.

 

What a Harry Sue!
