This may be a dumb meme, but it may actually have a point, and a sequel hook!

What if in Vader’s dying moments, he tells Luke to find Exegol. Here’s how I envision the conversation:

Vader: Just for once, let me look at you with my own eyes.

Luke removes the mask.

Vader: There isn’t much time. cough The contingency. Find Exegol. Go, my son. Leave me.

Luke: No, you’re coming with me.

Maybe not exactly that, but something along those lines. Admittedly, I’m sidestepping the question of why Vader doesn’t mention the wayfinders, but that can’t be too big of a plothole, right? Obviously, this would mean redubbing unmasked Vader, but given he’s only one scene, just redubbing the whole thing seems reasonable at this point.

Anyway, this scene as a whole gives us a Sequel hook, and presumed reason for Luke’s disappearance in the next film: he’s looking for Exegol.

On a related note, anybody notice how Luke is crying in the mid shots but his face is dry in the close ups?
