Even if you didn’t care for TFA and Rogue One you can’t deny Episode VIII has a lot of potential…ESB like potential.
Rey and Kylo Ren’s training (first time seeing a Dark Sider being trained in a SW film)
Finn trying to fit into The Resistance
Finn possibly finding out Poe shot his friend
Phasma going after Finn
Knights of Ren
Leia and/or Chewie confronting Kylo Ren
Possible learning at least something about Rey’s past or Snoke’s identity
The possible power vacuum left after the destruction of the Hosnian System
Learning about the ancient Jedi
I would be surprised if the film was anything less than great.
You forgot the obvious - Luke mofucking Skywalker, Jedi master.
I can’t believe I forgot about that…
If Luke can beat Vader’s ass imagine what he can do with 30 years of training.
I like to think that Luke has transcended to an OT-Yoda-like state where he won’t be whipping out his saber to backflip all around.
I would like him to use his saber but I would prefer him to use Makashi like Dooku. I also wouldn’t mind him using Forced Based Physical Augmentation; I think he should just use it sparingly and with less potency than he had in his prime.
Like the badass scene we got of Vader in Rogue One, I really want something like that for Luke. Not him slaughtering soldiers, just him being a absolute badass. I can compeletly imagine him single-handedly taking on the Knights of Ren with rain pouring down on his green blade.
And then I want him to whip Kylo’s ass. I want him to toy with Kylo as Vader once did to him and when he thinks it’s safe or he has the upper hand Luke just gives to his ass. I want there to be a shot of Luke with his hood over his head walking towards a terrified Kylo and the only visible part of Luke’s face is his beard. The rest of the movie could suck but I could take solace in the fact that Luke became that badass.
This sounds AMAZING
