You know they're going to brag the gently caress about how that opening hilt is a fully practical effect, like how they bragged about that stupid inflatable bread from TFA.

It's incredible that after all these decades, ILM has finally figured out the magic of a spring loaded mechanism that locks.

Also, :lol: they bragged about the bread!?

WHAT CAN THE HARVEST HOPE FOR, IF NOT FOR THE CARE OF THE REAPER MAN?
There's a zero percent chance of it happening but I really hope 3vil-PO is somehow Triple Zero from the recent comics.

Or Creepio from Jedi Party.

I knew someone was going to say this. Vader lazily tossed it at Luke and then walked over to pick it up. I’m talking about hurling it horizontally and using the Force to control it like a boomerang and call it back from midair :colbert:

Nah, he throws it and then as he's walking he recalls the lasersword back to him. He just did that last part sort off offscreen but he never stops to grab it, he just walks near it and a second later dude ignites it again.

Not the same as yeeting it full force and mind-controlling it in midair like a boomerang until it flies back to you like the video games and Rey appear to do. As far as I know nobody in canon has done that (I haven’t seen Rebels).

Edit: actually I guess yoda spikes a 501st trooper in RotS but it’s still not like a spinning buzzsaw dealie

Yoda kind of did this in Episode 3, though instead of recalling it with the Force, he leapt up onto the guy's chest and ripped the lightsaber out manually.

They deliberated about whether or not to include it in the movie specifically because it seemed video-gamey.

Rey is angry and has no chill. She likes fighting and blowing things up. She always rushes right into a fight both in TFA and TLJ. I find that kinda endearing.

Evil Rey is either some stupid rear end vision, or one of the Knights of Ren that can shapeshift or project images themselves. I'm putting my money on the latter. A tryhard evil dweeb making an overly complicated lightsaber fits right in line with Ren.

Why would they do that? Are they trying to trap Kylo using the old "Bugs Bunny dresses up like a sexy lady bunny" gambit?

Anakin definitely does this a couple of times in Clone Wars to drop a line of droids or cut through a tank or whatever.

It was probably one of the few practical effects in the movie so compared to the rest of the package, yeah I guess it's not bad.

Prime Rey is one of multiple clones made by Palpatine and hidden throughout the galaxy, in order to defeat him she must first destroy Evil Rey and her tuning rod.

There is a scene in TLJ where she is practice-sword fighting and knocks a boulder off a cliff that very nearly kills two space nuns. She gives them a silent, inconvenienced glare. Later she laughs while shooting people.

It may be intentional that she's a feral psychopath, but I think it's more a case like Zach Morris or Ferris Bueller, where Hollywood's ideal never-fail cool-guy plays like a psychopath to anyone with parents who loved them.

Right, but that could just as easily describe an attack robot or a rathtar or something. What is her dialogue?
