So I heard a parent relay this great fan theory from their kid.

The reason Luke was hesitant to accept the Lightsaber from Rey is because it’s actually the first step in her Jedi training. “How do you properly give someone a lightsaber? Clearly not with the blade end pointing right at them.”

Can’t be true, Kylo had Jedi training and he didn’t know how to properly hand over a lightsaber, either.

If you watch closely, Kylo Ren’s way of holding the lightsaber is fairly close to how Obi-Wan handed Luke Anakin’s Sabre, though not to the side of Han. The problem was that in the name of cool and an appeal to history, he made a weapon that the conventional means of handling a lightsaber didn’t apply to. Had he went with a modern design, the tragedy we saw might not have ever happened.

Why don’t they produce a Starwars television series? The fanbase is huge and it takes too long to wait for another Starwars movie. Anyone agree with me?

I assume you mean a live action one?

It could be interesting…

It’s called Rebels bro

I wish they would produce a Star Wars show for adults. Preferably in the anime style rather than that dreadful CGI shit that’s in Rebels and TCW. Gore, complicated plot lines that deal with betrayal and political machinations, layered characters with their own arcs and backstories, philosophical discussions etc.

But it is bad.

Well. Rebels suffers from a filler episode here and there but the show overall is great.

He doesn’t have opinions, man, he has facts.

(Never seen the show, just saying it before he can.)

Oh. I guess if by “adults” you mean “angsty teens”… no thanks.

Way to generalize man…

Gore…

Yeah, Return of the Jedi was really missing the rancor’s head bursting like a melon when the gate landed on it.

I was talking about stuff like this:

This is exactly what should have happened in the ROTJ skiff/sail barge battle.

There should have been at least scorch marks on the people Luke was killing but instead we got a lightsaber which functioned as a glowing baseball bat. Then later in the film it actually acts like a lightsaber when it cuts off the front portion of a speeder and Vader’s hand.

imperialscum said:

There should be no blood at lightsabre wound. When the lightsabre cuts the flesh, the wound should be cauterised. In that respect, ESB and ROTJ are correct and ANH is wrong.

They don’t show cauterized wounds in ESB and ROTJ though. That is something that was first introduced with the prequels.

So essentially a TV-series based on this short film?;

Yes, have that art style with smoother animation and we’d have ourselves something great in terms of visuals. The more important aspects would be plot, characters and tone.

Tauntaun, for example.

That’s a good example I have forgotten about. Too bad that wasn’t the standard for the rest of the OT.

Dek Rollins said:

Why does a Japanese animation style equal “angsty teens”?

You will be able to answer that yourself once you’re all grown up.

And if someone said Star Wars (in general) was just for kids you would say…
