That doesn’t really make sense either, parsecs are loving enormous. 12 parsecs is like 200 trillion miles, it’s not close at all.

Not to mention that he pulls out the 12 parsecs line when asked if his ship is fast. Anyway as we talked about earlier, the actual scene directions, and you know just watching the scenes and looking at how Han Solo and Obi-Wan (in particular) emote kind of makes it clear that it's just a bunch of bullshit that Han Solo pulled out of his rear end.

Luke accomplished nothing worth. Sure he decapitated the Empire, but he comprehensively failed to reestablish the Jedi religion. He did however inspire a megalomaniacal anti-Luke warlord to blow up the capital of the republic and completely shatter the galactic state.

What the gently caress are you talking about?

Luke re-founded the Jedi Academy, and battled the Yuuzhan Vong.

They should just do a game of thrones edgy treatment of The Glove Of Darth Vader. The protagonist is a drug-running slave master with a psychosexual crush on Leia, and his attempt to lie, cheat, and steal his way to the top of the Empire is easy HBO bait.

No? It was the least expectation subverty part of the movie, one last fatal effort to save the good guys after refusing to do anything for the rest of the movie. I really liked luke in TLJ.

It never felt like a fatal last stand or anything. It felt like he decided to do good and have a character moment then practically unrelated just kinda died.

Luke didn’t die. I mean he kind of did, but it’s not like he had a heart attack or got shanked or whatever. He transcended his material form and became a spirit, which is the final great teaching of the Jedi that Qui-gon achieved and passed on to Ben and Yoda. He transcended his guilt over Kylo, went beyond dukkha, and escaped from corporeal problems. Rey will never achieve this because she’s a meathead who thinks the force is about lifting rocks, which is why Luke is The Last Jedi.

It's probably pretty hard to guess the planet your sister is on thousands of light years away and then send a ghost of yourself there when you're alive. Jedis normally only do that when they're dead.

Everything else in the movie. Also it was waaay too long for a Star Wars movie, all of which have previously clocked in at pretty close to 2 hours, so it was extremely loving noticeable that the thing just didn't loving end.

Gutcruncher posted:

Yeah. RotJ is the kind of movie which is pretty close to a mess but manages to scrape by because of the strength of the first two movies and because it has enough things in it which work, some of which work very well (space battle, Luke, Vader and Emperor in the throne room). The Yoda and Obi-Wan stuff in Jedi is honestly kind of terrible.

Last Jedi is kind of comparable actually, except it actually is a mess and though it has stuff in it that works, the movie as a whole kind of falls apart because there's too much crap weighing it down and making it a mess.
