Gaston de Foix Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share Posted June 13, 2020 The Emperor is delighted. But Luke's realization his father has a mechanical hand like he does leads him to the understanding that he's just perpetuating the cycle of pain, injury and suffering in the service of a mad god. And he rejects the Dark Side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaston de Foix Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share Posted June 13, 2020 And....we cut away. As much as I care about the fate of the rebel fleet I'm going to rewatch the Vader-Luke-Emperor scenes as a single youtube clip after I finish the movie.

But why is it weirdly unfinished and open to space? This is adequately explained by the eloquent Admiral Ackbar. "ITS A TRAP!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaston de Foix Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share Posted June 13, 2020 And the Emperor unleashes his lightning. I concede the OT would be better if I hadn't seen Palpatine and Dooku do it before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaston de Foix Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share Posted June 13, 2020 And Luke's struck down by the Emperor's lightning. Vader is at the Emperor's side without seeming to care much that his boss was more happy to replace him just minutes ago with a newer model. Luke pleads for help.

Gaston de Foix Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share Posted June 13, 2020 Is the lightning what Vader was referring to when he repeatedly said that Luke didn't understand the power of the dark side? It must be. But he decides to save his son. A great moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaston de Foix Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share Posted June 13, 2020 Like Targaryens and Hindus, it seems Jedi knights have their ends writ in flame. Luke cremates Anakin. have to say in retrospect that was the smart play. He couldn't have faced both the Emperor and Vader alone. Divide and conquer was the best strategy.

Gaston de Foix Posted June 13, 2020 Author Share Posted June 13, 2020 The Ewoks know how to party. The Holy Trilogy, to borrow from @Jace, Basilissa , seems to be coming to an end.

They were then retconned into being Jedi robes in the prequels. Why would he hide in exile while wearing Jedi uniform? Maybe for the same reason he barely changed his name, didn't change Luke's name, and hid him with his family who Anakin was aware of? The dude might just suck at hiding.

I am curious how someone who just watched SW for the first time by essentially binging the movies will react to the Sequel Trilogy. So, yes watch them, especially if you've been using Disney+. Might as well. FYI, while I liked The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi, The Rise of Skywalker has ruined the trilogy for me to the point that I'm mostly focusing only on canon stuff up to the where the ST starts. But I urge you to watch the shows: Clone Wars (with the movie included), Rebels, and The Mandalorian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Anyone saying yes is just curious about how you'll react (I am too btw, but not so much that I would advise you to watch them). I'll tell you how it'll go. You'll watch episode 7 and be like "ok, this is not too original but kinda cool, I'm curious to see where they go with this" then in front of episode 8 you'll go "right, there were a few what-the-fuck moments, but they can make something out of it, there are still some badass moments that are visually amazing." Then you'll watch episode 9 and think "well, at least the visuals are nice." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
