Fart City posted:Here’s one thing stupid that’s been bugging me: why isn’t Luke using his ROTJ lightsaber when he confronts Kylo Ren on Crait? A: he hasn’t had any real attachment to his father blade for decades at this point, and B: why doesn’t it immediately tip Kylo off that something is wrong?. Anakin’a lightsaber is a major maguffin in TFA. Kylo Ren absolutely knows what it looks like. And at this point he’s seen it be destroyed first hand in Snoke’s throne room. I’ve yet to see any kind of satisfactory explanation for it. Do we see the green saber in the movie outside the flashback? I don't remember. I assumed it was destroyed then or Luke left it behind or tossed it in with his X Wing or whatever. There were many things that should have tipped Kylo off, but his obsession was clouding his judgement.

I kind of wished that we panned to Luke's empty robes to say that he showed up to everyone he loved as a force ghost instead of a projection. That would have been super rad.

I also wished Leia would have died way earlier, it just seemed I dunno, I feel morbid, because I kept just watching her, waiting for when they "cut her out" When did she kick it, I wondered in my seat like a healthy normal person. When did they finally remove her??

That would have been neat but I think the cut to him meditating was insanely good and worth keeping. Also the idea of him doing some powerful force poo poo that doesn't involve violence is cool and better than him just doing a force ghost which even obi wan can do and obi wan sucks.

It's easy to play up the conflict between Leia and Poe, just say some one is leaking Rebel locations or whatever. Disney is going to give lousy exits to Han/Luke/Leia.

On a rewatch I notice that Kylo foreshadowed Luke doing this and dying as a result. He thought that was what Rey was doing and told her the effort would kill her. Turns out it'd kill literally anyone. BOOM!

Well, it's a secret.

After having deep, human relationships with R2D2 and C3PO, Luke absconded with some other astromech droid and left it to rot in his sunken x-wing.

Unoriginal Name posted:I mean, anyone except for Snoke. The difference between what Snoke did and what Luke did is basically the difference between facetiming from one iphone to another ipohne, and facetiming from one iphone to a potato. It's not a stretch that connecting two already highly force-sensitive people in a purely mental fashion would be easier than projecting an actually physically visible and audible projection into real space.

I've lived in some really lovely places and watched movies at a lot of really lovely theaters, and I have a hard time remembering many cases sharing the theater with especially disruptive theater goers.

I went to a theater a couple of years ago, and some lady at the end of my row smuggled in what was either expired ranch chicken wings, or a tuna-filled baby diaper. The weird thing is that it would come in waves. Just when you forgot it was there, the stench would fall upon you like a black, cloying blanket of death. There is a part of me that never left that room.

Yes, I saw it, I quoted it. I'm saying isn't this after he reached out to Leia while she was in a coma, so we know he's using the Force again?

It must be a cultural thing. My brother saw Guardians of the Galaxy with me in a cinema in Ireland and the audience was into it, but mostly subdued; basically chuckling a bit at the jokes. But he'd seen it earlier in the year when he went to America and later on he told me the American audience he'd seen it with were going ballistic over it.

He also uses the force to spear fish. But I think that's more like being a mutant than the more spiritual sense he was referring to .
