Lord Hydronium posted:Also, apparently y'all have a lot more cynical view of Obi-Wan's motives in the OT than I do. Dickbag Obi-wan is a fun original trilogy theory brought to life by Ewan McGregor's portrayal in the prequels of a man who has compartmentalised the uselessness of the Jedi and their blind eye to corruption and inequality by pretending he's Space-Indiana Jones and tormenting his idiot teenage protege.

I think an important point is that neither he nor Yoda raise the Skywalker kids themselves, as they might if they just wanted weapons. Instead they're put into families, the exact opposite of what the old Jedi thought should be done, which tells me that they recognize at least that part of the problem with Anakin's upbringing. And Luke is only given the lightsaber and told to become a Jedi when the danger comes to them, which I think shows Obi-Wan trying to protect him from his heritage until he can no longer (including the lies about what happened to Anakin). That's not even really a defense of Obi-Wan, since it's really his way of coping with his own inaction in exile. But I think it indicates more than him just manipulating Luke to want to kill Vader and training him to be able to, which is the impression I get from some interpretations. (Also I know the EU is a sketchy topic around these parts, but I recommend the novel Kenobi by John Jackson Miller for one take on Obi-Wan trying to reconcile his need to hide in exile with the idea that a Jedi should be out there helping people.)

Oh oh, Rian Johnson is telling people to avoid the new trailer if they want to be unspoiled.

FYI; AMC has listings up. Can't buy anything yet, but you can get to the page for the appropriate screening at the appropriate theater.

Think most theaters have listings up now. Saw listings for my local Marcus Cinema last night and organized with the same group of 7 to go see it opening night Same theater I saw TFA at as well. Hope I can get the same seats. [edit] And yeah, I don't plan on watching the trailer tonight, or any more promotional footage for TLJ. I am making an effort to go in devoid of any spoilers/info for this one. Only footage I've seen was the first teaser and that Disney Expo behind the scenes sizzle reel thing.

Gonna post the new thread after the trailer drops, taking name suggestions because I'm not good at thread titles. Remember, it'll serve as the general Star Wars thread, not just as a Last Jedi thread.

I'll try to avoid the trailer but I'll probably end up watching it in front of Thor 3 or something and that'll be okay.

I, too, have secured tickets for my party. Thanks to reserved seating, we're ensured an excellent location in the auditorium. It is critically important that we all share this information with each other.
