karelm 2,913 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 I predict the real Luke is still alive and it was his force projection that remained on Ahch-to vanishing at the end of The Last Jedi. stewdog1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Parker 3,040 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 I predict that the whole series was Force projected by Luke: how else could C-3P0 have known about all of those events in Return of the Jedi? All of the plot inconsistencies are explained in this theory, so if JJ doesn't go this route I'm going to harass him off social media.

Arpy 4,145 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I reckon Rey will hear Leia's voice before she dies - we don't see her die physically, but she'll impart some wisdom/'MTFBWY' line to Rey that they pre-recorded from the last films. 23 minutes ago, leeallen01 said: So Lando will die.

Chen G. 3,949 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 It is and it isn't. While the film clearly doesn't approve of Ren's communist-like ideology of killing the past, it does seek to go against the "Star Wars formula" at just about every single turn, to the point that it becomes infuriating to ardent fans, or just tiresome for the average viewer. Johnson even subverted the "I have a bad feeling about this" line by not using it, and later cheekily said that BB-8 beeped it during the opening sequence. *sigh...* A. A.

Because to me there was a ton of stuff in TLJ that mirrored ESB and ROTJ. Rey leaves Luke against his advice, the throne room scene is the same as ROTJ until Snoke's death, the First Order walkers on Crait, a Dark Side cave, etc. Yes, there were some things that were refreshingly new, but it is to ESB and ROTJ what TFA was to ANH.

Chen G. 3,949 Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Meh. There are similarities, sure, but they're mostly superficial, and are largely the result of the starting point to this film, as laid down by Abrams. a lack of originality isn't the issue here. A. A.

crocodile 8,000 Posted July 15, 2018 Share Posted July 15, 2018 Is it even possible to read Luke's actions at the end of Jedi any different? He just realised that using violence against the Sith won't get him anywhere. Same reason why Yoda fled during the confrontation with the Emperor in Sith. And yeah, having Luke take down the entire army with is laser sword and bunch of superpower tricks would be a complete betrayal of everything Jedi stand for.

karelm 2,913 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Luke will use force projection on the entire fleet. Consumed with hatred, the First Order will chase the phantom fleet until they are out of fuel slowly dying in pursuit of a phantom goal. Hence no war is necessary. The rebels hug together celebrating their victory so yes, hugs win over war and order is restored to the galaxy.

Please take this to the "The Official Thread to Absorb All the Hostility of JWFan" thread. Also, the Resistance's fuel situation isn't the first time being low on fuel has been used as a plot device in a Star Wars movie. In The Phantom Menace, Padme's cruiser doesn't have enough power to get to Coruscant, so Qui-Gon said they needed to make a stop on Tatooine to refuel and get supplies. Therefore, if they had enough power to get to Coruscant, maybe they wouldn't have met Anakin. I just keep seeing people giving The Last Jedi crap because they think running out of fuel has NEVER been a problem in Star Wars before, when the opposite is true.
