So where’s Lando?

I was thinking the same thing, first off, we’re getting a backstory to his character in Solo a Star Wars Story, secondly, we had Han and Leia in TFA, then we got Luke and Leia in TLJ, so can we get a Luke and Lando in EpIX? A cameo would be nice, maybe he pays respects to Chewbacca and the rest of them, after hearing about Han(VII), Luke(VIII), then Leia(IX) at the beginning of this one?

Would anyone want to see a small cameo of him?

I think it’s a given Luke will appear in some form. After what he pulled off at the end of TLJ, I don’t think he would just be a shimmering spirit standing around giving advice.

Also did Luke know “young-Anakin”? Hayen-ghost is is officially canon.

The films have been very good about not preferring the SEs over the OOT. I don’t expect JJ to be the one to do it.

It seems like people are really embracing the new characters. In fact, the big question people ask me now about Star Wars is, “Are Finn and Poe gay lovers?” And really how the f*ck would I know? My second husband left me for a man, so my gaydar isn’t exactly what you’d call Death Star level quality. ----Carrie Fisher

I saw an idea about Luke’s role in 9 being similar to what happens to Gandalf in the Two Towers, “I come back to you at the turn of the tide”. Honestly if the death was a misdirect, and he did some crazy force oneness to be able to come back to help, that would be amazing.

I just crave more of the Luke Skywalker from the end of the Last Jedi. It honestly made no sense to kill him the more I look back on episode 8. He should have stared at the sunsets to signify his true return, or you just somehow make that his death scene in 9.

Yeah, the rule that such Force projection would kill a person doesn’t make sense, since Snoke was able to do some version of that with Rey and Kylo without dying. Under Rian’s logic, since Rey and Kylo are equal in opposing sides of the Force, it makes sense that Snoke and Luke would have about equal power as well.

Yeah but it still doesn’t change that Luke dying did not benefit the sequel trilogy, as it is now. I can see having Luke die if Leia is the focus of episode 9 but obviously that is not an option anymore. They could have easily let Luke live with the existing footage. Even faneditors can do it, so why not a major studio.

Imagine ending with Luke staring at the sunsets, him fulfilled, back in the fight, and we cut to credits as we look forward to his role in episode 9.

Just my own take and I used to like the fact that he died so I totally see where people are coming from.

I’m not disputing that. I would’ve preferred Luke staring into the sunset to be the final shot. But I’m not devastated. Still interesting things to do.

Luke’s not dead! He’s just pining for the Porgs! 😉

This hardly proves anything, but it’s interesting, and seems like something Abrams might want to do for IX;

i think it didn’t work because he tried to do it to only half of a word.

Because markdown is the dumbest text editor I’ve ever seen and I don’t understand why every other forum refuses to use it but this one.

In fact it’s so irritating it’s got me unable to properly construct a sentence about it.
