I had really high hopes for Rey based on her intro in tfa. She had a good self sufficiency thing going on nottattooine that echoed Luke's farm boyishness while giving her some room to be a different kind of hero in waiting

As soon as she spilled a huge amount of her precious, hard-won quarter portion insta-biscuit powder when making it I knew she was going to disappoint.

She could have made another whole 1/3rd of a biscuit with that mishandled powder! She'd never cut it in the carefully measured and doled out world of say, a subway sandwich franchisee so she'd clearly not amount to much in the annals of the force.

So if you buy into the idea that they implied that Palpatine knocked up Anakin's mom with the force does this mean we're getting down with some more incestuous smooching or is it like third cousins and that makes it ok or what.

You mean when Rey travels back in time pregnant with Kylo's kid, and Kylo Ren becomes his own great-grandpa? Yeah, he's smooching good on great-grandma.

But it was LGD making up things that aren't even in the movie, which is more akin to what a fanfic writer does. At least The Walrus was limiting their discussion to what was actually presented on screen

Ok that's probably fair. I just meant the text walls theory crafting the intent of the plot generally, not a specific poster.

And I was, admittedly, unable to finish reading any of those posts, so I trust your assessment.

I don't think his genetic material factored into it, that baby was all midichlorian. But that means that all force users are related by midichlorian and any interaction between any two force users is incest.

You don't see a link between Luke in the OT and in this trilogy, for me his change makes complete sense from what we are shown even if we are left to guess at what he was thinking at some specific times. This is fine for me because the movie is not about him, it's about the lasting effects of his failure.



alright, I understand all of your points now, and it makes total sense. you're right, Luke was clearly suffering from addiction problems, it changes people- and what was he addicted to? the most insidious of star drugs: space Walrus milk.

The most recent spoil is that the Swedish film review board has leaked the fact that we will hear the word "rear end" said at least once.

At the end of the film, Rey decides that force and Jedi were a bad idea all along and decided to travel back into the past, sometime around 1969 specifically, to kick George Lucas's rear end. After a psychedelic 5 minute transition, we can see Rey knocking on George's door. As the door begins to open, she shouts "I'm here to kick your rear end, George Lucas!" and it fades to credits.

She causes the racecar crash that eventually leads to George going to film school rather than becoming a car mechanic/office goon.

Always remember that the former President was dumber than the dumbest person you've ever met by a wide margin

Chewbacca has been fatally wounded by a laser blast, he's dying and everyone is around him.

"Chewie, it's okay my friend, you can pass on. Do you have anything you want to say?"

"Han Solo ate my rear end every day for 40 years. He's the best lover I've ever had and I've been depressed ever since he died. I'm welcoming death now, if only to be reunited with the most amazing man in the Galaxy. My rear end will be lonely no more. Goodbye, I hated you all and only stuck around because Han seemed to like you."

Harrison Ford was forced to record some dialogue and muttered "This whole thing is a real pain in my rear end" and they kept it in the movie.

what exactly was I making up?

e:

the only thing I've seen actually "disputed" was that Luke attempted to murder a kid

the movie presents Luke as going to a child's room, while that child is asleep, at night

Luke clearly communicates his pre-existing motivations for desiring to murder the child, he does not communicate any benign motive for the visit in the first place (certainly not one that could be taken at face value)

he then draws a lethal weapon for the express purpose of child murder

while he's about to murder the child, the child awakens, meets his eyes, he realizes oh hey maybe child murder wasn't a good idea and then loses his opportunity/is fended off by the child who instantly realizes Luke was about to stab him

the only motivation he's given for this is a tossed off line about dark premonitions of the future, which the same text notes weren't actually reliable in any way



pretending this is a totally fine, understandable thing for him to have done because of "rational guesses" is a lot less based on anything shown in the movie than describing TLJ Luke as someone who was both willing to murder a child he had been entrusted with out of cowardice and who actually attempted to do so

pretending this somehow flows from OT Luke's character because he was once an impetuous youthful moisture-farmboy and "people aren't who you think" is insane
