In Heir To The Empire, Obi Wan appears to Luke for the last time with just such an explanation, having lingered too long already. Yoda and Anakin apparently never appeared to Luke again after the end of ROTJ.

But HTTE is shit as bad as TPM. Any explanation it gives on anything is automatically implausible and stupid because … because … ysalamiri.

I was simply pointing out that the idea Obi Wan can’t hang around forever to give Luke advice isn’t new.

By the way, I was being sarcastic. 😛

DE…might I avail upon you to choose an alternate image for your signature? Though certainly none of my business, it would, nonetheless, improve my enjoyment of life not to have to constantly bear the sight of that questionable character…might I instead hopefully suggest one of your past avatars as its replacement…?

Kindly understand I am of a sensitive nature and the image is jarring…not quite Jar Jarring, but close enough…

Thank you in advance.

Kind regards,

Praetorian

*sigh* Nobody appreciates the classics anymore.

But very well – your request is granted.

Since I’m here, I may as well get the following off my chest:

While I’m still predisposed to regarding TFA as uninspired brouhaha, Bosk and Smoking Lizard have left me feeling way more sympathetic towards the film than I would have otherwise. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone bend over as far backwards as they to find reasons to loathe something, and I’ve done plenty of backward-bending in my time.

You know what would be really, really cool?! What JJ should do next is have it such that Vader’s red lightsaber gets recovered by Ren! Since we never saw what actually happened to his red lightsaber, we certainly can’t just go on assuming that it got blown up when the second Death Star was destroyed.

I got it! Check this out! Oh, boy, JJ is going to totally rip off this idea! What happened was, when the Death Star blew up, Darth Vader’s lightsaber was shot out by the explosion, it tumbled through the atmosphere, and landed right by the Vader burn site. So when Ren showed up to retrieve Vader’s helmet, voila! He got two for the price of one! He got the helmet and Vader’s lightsaber!

Now if you’re saying, “Oh, Lizard! How could that be? If Ren had Vader’s lightsaber, he’d be using it, wouldn’t he?”

No! You see, that’s part of Ren’s backstory. We’ll maybe find out why Ren doesn’t use Vader’s lightsaber in episode IX.

Wow! The possibilities! We could also have it such that Ren finds Vader’s original bent wing TIE fighter! How cool would that be?! Oh! Oh! Oh! And then Finn will find Luke’s original X-Wing and Poe will find the Tantive IV! We can also have Rey find Leia’s white dress from ANH!

The possibilities! They should totally hire me as writer for the next films.

Just so you know where I am coming on this move. I rate TFA right smack in the middle of the gap between the greatness of the oot and the lousiness of the pt.

Which is perfectly reasonable. We have some loony-bins claiming it’s as bad or worse than the prequels. That’s objectively insane.

Or that the Thrawn Trilogy’s as bad as TPM.
