In defense of Luke going to become a hermit, he did not know Starkiller base existed. He probably thought Leia and the Republic would be able to handle The First Order

Rogue Squadron, which came out six months before Episode 1 and had a cheat code to unlock the fighter that was published by Lucasarts around the time the movie premiered

https://uk.ign.com/articles/2018/06/26/mark-hamill-on-the-weirdly-tragic-trajectory-of-luke-skywalker “It is tragic. I'm not a method actor, but one of the techniques a method actor will use is to try and use real-life experiences to relate to whatever fictional scenario he's involved in. The only thing I could think of, given the screenplay that I read, was that I was of the Beatles generation - ‘All You Need Is Love’, ‘peace and love’. “I thought at that time, when I was a teenager: ‘By the time we get in power, there will be no more war, there will be no racial discrimination, and pot will be legal.’ So I'm one for three. When you think about it, [my generation is] a failure. The world is unquestionably worse now than it was then.” There’s definitely some questioning to be done about whether that’s unquestionable, but rewatching The Last Jedi knowing this is Hamill’s feeling lends the role extra pathos. ‘Luke as horrified baby boomer’ not only makes his retreat from a disappointing world (well, galaxy) more understandable, but helps bring his bittersweet last decision into focus.

Halloween Jack posted:Have you considered watching The Clone Wars or Rebels and incorporating them into your reading? It's remarkable that material in the newest season of each supports your interpretations here. I don’t doubt it, but I have an aversion to TV in general. Plus, as you can see, that stuff is already in the films. Sure, Rogue One is based on the opening text of Episode 4 - but it was also twist on that text, revealing the “Rebel Spies” were not really spies, and only loosely affiliated to the Rebellion. Ferrinus posted:This plays really well with the weird red hand C3P0 had in TFA. The red arm in TFA, of course, stood for the red hand of communism, disrupting the organic unity of the Galactic body. So the presumably-unintentional joke is that, when C3PO becomes fully gold at the end, this actually signals Snoke’s victory.

Zoran posted:Rian Johnson's method is to contradict people's general impressions and assumptions, only to go back and reaffirm them more deeply than ever before. A) That's kind of the point. Luke becomes a symbol - because that's all he can do. He's not actually there. He's an illusion. If Kylo or someone else in the First Order had taken half a second to toss a rock through Luke, they'd have confirmed that they could safelt ignore him and kill the rest of the Resistance. Luke had "magnificent power" because the First Order built him up and such in their minds. B) Those fifteen people are united by a common vision as well as bonds of grief, suffering and trust. The First Order is riven by doubt and suspicion. They'll be tearing themselves apart. And even if Leia doesn't have any friends, Kylo Ren is about to make the First Order a poo poo ton of enemies. And the enemy of my enemy... c) The charming, cocksure pilot is one of the main reasons that the Resistance is down to fifteen people on the Falcon. Poe knows it, too. He knows how badly he hosed this up and he's learned from it. D) In TFA Finn rejects his life up to that point to embrace one outside of the First Order. He meets and connects with Rey, ultimately tricking the Resistance into helping him rescue her. The big connection Finn maintains at the beginning of TLJ is with Rey. It's not about cowardice with Finn. He's made the judgement call that the Resistance is hosed. If Rey comes back to the Resistance, she'll also be hosed. So, he wants to get away from them to warn her away. Finn's arc in TLJ isn't about courage, exactly. It's about broadening the connection/attachment he has to one person to include other people around him.

Rey: “Boo hoo [self-pity]; I don’t have a last name. I’m nobody, because I never bothered to investigate my parents’ disappearance. I mean, I was briefly curious about what happened to them, but I lost interest when I heard they were poor & had alcoholism.” Fans: “Wow, Rey was personally blessed with superpowers by God, despite having worthless poor parents that nobody cares about. Truly the force is democratized.” Snoke: “I don’t have a last name because I’m a replicant, like in Blade Runner. I don’t have parents because I was never born. I was mass-produced in a factory, designed to be the ultimate slave. I emerged from the machine an adult, my every thought pre-programmed. These scars and deformities are cosmetic, assigned to me by a cruel Maker. My very existence calls the nature of free will into question. Do I even have memories? Anywho, I’m stronger than Rey. Turns out anyone can have superpowers thanks to genetic engineering. We really ought make this tech available to everyone; you can cure all disease, videochat literally anywhere, and somehow teleport obj- [Snoke is killed].” Fans: “WTF Rey’s parents had names???” Darko posted:Hannibal would make you change your mind about TV. I have, like, seen TV shows. Hannibal is quite good, but season three is not better than the films it remakes (i.e. the Ridley Scott film and Manhunter). The issue is that TV narratives almost never consist of a series of standalone episodes and/or function as cohesive roughly-ten-hour multi-part videos. They tend to occupy this nebulous area between the two, with ‘previously on...’ montages serving as a stopgap. Lucas’ films are really the ideal of what TV could be, because you can watch any episode and that’s it. You get a complete narrative.

Halloween Jack posted:According to the new comic book, yes. They're sensitives who don't have proper training, so their powers just make them better fighters and they can, like, bend a spoon. So I guess they weren't Luke's other students after all. I take it they're all just dead. Pollyanna posted:Just realizing something. As of TROS, Cal Kestis isn't dead

They didn't even say she's still alive, that would've been slightly better. What they said was some non-committal answer about dead characters not necessarily having to stay dead or something like that. It's like, yea we know that? Of course you can bring a dead character back, but that's not the question. Ashoka IS dead, currently, is she not? They haven't answered that question. My read on it is that they threw her in there just to fill out the numbers and then the fan reaction made them realize that it was a mistake and that not using Ashoka in the future would be a missed opportunity(for fan service).

SuperMechagodzilla posted:
The Wire and Spartacus work as continuous 10-ish hour narratives without a previously-on necessary. On the flip side, Lucas TV is probably at its best in some contained 3-4 episode arcs of Clone Wars which just work as a contained movie (moreso than the Clone Wars movie), even though they have a blatant previously-on narrator at the start of each episode that makes sure you remember what happened in the last one (for the kids). Rebels is altogether "good" for very good high points and decent character arcs, but it suffers a bit from jumping around and lack of focus to be episodic or not at times, which gets into what you say.

Lucas TV is at its best with Young Indiana Jones (dvd cuts), which are also completely self-contained stories.
