Discussion Daisy Ridley (Rey Skywalker) in Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy’s Star Wars film

Oh of course. Rey will be the nu-Jedi that isn't afraid of attachments. For all intents and purposes, she will be Luke. Quite literally. She will be far more Luke than Luke was in his last couple "outings".

 

Kanan and Hera? You did not even know they had a thing going until you see her child at the end? How is this a good example. This is an example of Kanan really being careful with this relationship and not fully committing due to the reasons. He likely did not even know she was pregnant.

But then it has been said that sex is ok. Attachment isn’t.

 

Well...we'll see. I like Rey/Daisy Ridley. I liked her optimism. I liked her telling Luke that it wasn't "all his fault", all the Jedi's fault. That being said... the Sequels, for me, had a LOT of issues.

Let's hope, this time, they have a clear plan, a top notch writing team, and an awareness of fan perceptions.

PS- While I agree the Jedi exhibit some stoicism, you'd think they were written as Vulcans, the way some folks talk. And I will never understand how those most critical of the Jedi seem to love Qui-Gonn, who was probably the least emotional Jedi we see (with the possible exception of Mace). As far as the "attachment" thing...I know it doesnt play well with modern sensibilities but...never really bothered me. Lots of philosophies and religions embrace similar ideas, to differing extents. But hey, to each his/her own!

 

Looking at that KK interview, this 100% doesn’t sound like this is gonna be episode 10.

 

His love of gin is what endeared him to me.

 

Pretty stoked about all of this. I've pined for a Dawn of the Jedi moving and looks like we're getting that and have speculated that future movies might be centered on Rey rebuilding the order, embracing the original Je'daii ideology. With her being the embodiment of dark and light, this tracks very well.

 

Which is fine to me. It shouldn't be. This must be something new. Weren't they done with the Skywalker Saga?

For the first time since TFA in 2012, I like where SW is headed. I like the names attached, the ideas behind the movies...

I didn't remember how good it felt being in peace with the saga I love.

 

Everyone is naturally wondering how the Jedi Order will institutionally reproduce, emphasis on the "reproduce". Through episodes IV-IX this often meant biological reproduction, so I understand why people will expect Rey to have some kids or at least be thinking about it, especially since she's a Skywalker now, whatever that means.

 

Luke usurped the OG Jedi philosophy in Return of the Jedi. He's the guy who rushed into Bespin when he was told "always in motion the future is" (this teaching is obviously ignored for the sake of TLJ). Luke depended on his compassion, he didn't abandon it.

All that was simply ignored or retconned with TLJ.

 

Lol anyone who didn’t notice that Hera and Kanan totally had a thing through the whole series wasn’t paying attention.

 

Well the Bespin thing wasn't really a benefit to him. He did not save anyone by going to Bespin and had his hand cut off and had to be saved. Jedi have compassion, but obviously you ain't meant to be guided by fear.

 

A lot can happen in fifteen years (like the entire ROTS-ROTJ era (give or take a few years), so I’m curious to see just how much Rey, the Jedi Order and the galaxy have changed in that amount of time.

 

But no one knew they acted on it right? Its like looking at Obi Wan and Satine. its hinted there is a thing there, but you don't know how far it went because there is an obvious reason as to why he couldn't commit to her.

And when she died, Obi Wan actually could have gone abit crazy had he of let his commit to her really stick. But he did not.

 

Absolutely. That was Luke's strength and at the same time, his largest flaw: that connection to his loved ones. But like you said he lost an arm and Han got kidnapped nonetheless. Luke learned a lesson at Bespin.





He simply forgets all this come TLJ. It's almost like his memory circuit was wiped akin to 3PO.

 

The Jedi are monks. It’s just what they are. They follow a different path than most people in the galaxy because they have a power that requires a commitment to keep one’s emotions under control. The no attachment rule doesn’t mean that every case is going to end up like Anakin. But the mere possibility of it is enough to keep the rule in place. The Jedi must rise above their attachments to individuals because they have the greater good of the galaxy to uphold.

 

Well to be fair he acted on fear in TLJ but he did not actually do it. And it also could be argued that he is his fathers son and Anakin wasn't a perfect Jedi by any means. Let alone Luke being trained at 19-20.

 

Let’s not relitigate TLJ or the ST. Let’s just focus on the new film please.

 

Luke rushed into Bespin. Got nearly killed by Darth Vader - survived by sheer dumb luck (Vader could have killed him, and when he fell he had no idea he wouldn't fall to his death). Had to be rescued himself. Failed to rescue Han. Didn't rescue Leia. He risked Vader/the Emperor keeping the galaxy in chains, and... well, didn't accomplish much (again, in his mission to Bespin). No offense, but not sure the lesson there was QUITE the one you are suggesting.

 

If Rey is the main character again, that could be the chance to finally explore the dyad concept more deeply than in the ST, assuming Ben will be in that movie of course.

 

I mean, Ben/Kylo is dead. I have to assume, even if he's able to manifest as a Force ghost, the dyad effectively died with him.

 

I don't think there's anyone at Lucasfilm that wants to/can explain what that dyad business was all about.

 

Or it could exist even after death, if we believe their connection is more akin to soulmates then it could make sense, imo.
I'm also wondering about the other ST characters and their relationship to Rey. Hopefully, most of them will be back and not just Rey, even though I acknowledge she was the breakout character from the ST, I'm hoping it's not just her.

 

Everything in Star Wars will be explained at some point or another.
