He wouldn’t need a reason. He’d want to try it for fun. He also acts like he’s never even seen what it can do. I just don’t buy it.
Many gun owners marvel at weapons they’re firing for the time
Some of us do. Again, I just don’t buy it. No big deal.
And that’s perfectly fine. Not exactly sure if I by it myself.
Leia was a not-Jedi for all three original movies. I don’t think of her as a Jedi, she didn’t think of herself as a Jedi, and it would have been weird for her to suddenly be a Jedi in the fourth movie.
The 30 year time gaps helps all of these issues both with our perception and Leia’s potential “conflict” regarding embracing being a Jedi.
I get that, I’m just saying it would have been jarring and I’m glad they didn’t go that route. I wouldn’t have said it “ruined her character” or anything silly like that.
To each their own. I’m fine with the route they went though it does make me say “So much for that” whenever I watch ROTJ.
I don’t think it’d really make all that much sense for Leia to have dropped everything she’d been doing to become a Jedi. She’d been in politics pretty much her whole life, I don’t know what the canon thing is here but I imagine she went into that again after the Empire fell
The Force is a very new concept to her. One might want to train out of sheer curiosity but for her she could afford to spend a few years training since their side since her side won. Who knows how much her newfound powers could benefit the New Republic as Luke was instrumental in the Rebellions triumph. Also Ben could have trained with them once he came of age.
(not to mention raising her son).
That’s a separate issue as Luke planned to train Leia far before Ben was born.
And just because she didn’t become a Jedi doesn’t mean she didn’t learn to use the Force.
