Also when did Han become an expert on fixing The Falcon?

This kind of thing always makes me laugh, since Han’s whole act was just bravado. The other characters in ANH clearly know this and in ESB he never even fixes the broken hyperdrive.

Speaking of ESB who can forget when Han showed his prowess by hitting the Falcon with his fist to get some shit to work? If that doesn’t make you an expert then what does?

On a side note I always loved that R2 fixed the hyperdrive given Han’s disposition towards droids

Star Wars is just too rich and diverse to label it that simply. It has about equal amount of sci-fi, adventure, drama, action, war, romance and fantasy. Star Wars is Star Wars.

I agree. All of the Religious, philosophical and historical influences on Star Wars makes it more than just Science Fantasy.

Luke fixes the Falcon’s malfunctions himself before Han can figure out what to do

Every time I see this complaint I wonder if people were paying attention. The Falcon has had a number of “upgrades” since Han last saw her, all of which Rey is familiar with (which makes sense, it being Plutt’s ship and her being good with tech stuff, she’s probably worked on it) and Han knows nothing about. One of those is a compressor which she bypasses. The comparison here makes little sense.

Also when did Han become an expert on fixing The Falcon? Was it in SW when the ship almost caught fire during the TIE Fighter escape or was it in ESB when he couldn’t fix the hyperdrive? Both of these things and the general condition of the ship leads me to believe that Han is just getting by but that’s just me.

@flametitan

I don’t think there would be any family functions because Ben is going to prison if he turns back to the light. Just because he’s of the Skywalker bloodline doesn’t mean he can get away with multiple counts of murder and being part of a regime who destroyed an entire System. And that’s just what he’s done thus far. Imagine what that fucker is going to do next.

  1. Star Wars is a sci-fi take on a contemporary fairy tale world. Darth Vader’s redemption more or less absolved everything he did in Luke’s eyes (and the Force’s eyes, he got to be a force ghost!). Unless I read bloodline wrong, Leia in the new canon is more upset that she never got to see the good man and only knows the hate, than that Darth Vader got to be a karma Houdini by saving Luke (Legends is a different matter). The rest of the galaxy still hates Vader, but they don’t know about his redemption arc either.

I don’t see how this pertains to my point. Whether Luke, Leia or Rey (?) will forgive him doesn’t matter because he would be held accountable for his atrocities against the New Republic. If not execution or imprisonment I could see him being exiled to some ball of Bantha poodoo in the Outer Rim.

  1. I didn’t mean literally. It’s just a good illustration to point out how it’d be strained.

I knew that “Family Gatherings” is code for any circumstance that requires them to be in close proximity to each other.

EDIT:

He should also be stripped of The Force. That’s a juicy EU bit that needs to make its way over yonder to K-Canon.

So Rey and Kylo’s enteries in the Star Wars database was recently updated to include the fact that a bond had formed between the two. This partially explains why she was able to get into his head.

This is one of the most exciting aspects of episode 8 to come.

I just hope this doesn’t mean Reylo is a thing…

+1000

Rey falling in love with a man who

• kidnapped her
• mentally abused her (literally, he used the force to abuse her mind)
• tried to kill her
• killed her only father figure

would be absurd and probably break the trilogy for me.

Kylo never tried to kill her; he was trying to subdue her and get her to join him.

I have a feeling they won’t explore it much. Unless it’s a Kreia like bond (when one dies the other dies as well) I think they’ll keep it vague as to what their connection actually is.

I just hope this doesn’t mean Reylo is a thing…

I’m also curious as to your opinion on the Rey interrogation scene and how similar it is to Leia’s interrogation scene.

It’s nothing close to Leia’s interrogation scene, which contains some horror elements and was intercut into the sequence where Luke’s relatives get incinerated to death.

Also we actually get to see Rey being interrogated. That alone makes Rey being captured and interrogated a generic plot point. The location means diddly.

Because of harmy I’ve been able to show my boys the OUT.

Unfortunately, a friend of theirs recently showed them the 2004 DVD Special Edition.

They now prefer that version.

That friend has been banned from my house.

You already showed them the OUT first and then later on someone showed them the SE and now you banned that kid from your house because of that? That is just stupid. They would see the SE sooner or later, whether you like it or not. Acting like a paranoid dictator and trying to censor things like that is obsessive behaviour. Ironically, reminds me of the behaviour of a certain person who did not want us ever to see theatrical versions again.

I’m sure your uninformed parenting advice is greatly appreciated.

It is not a parenting advice. It is not an advice at all. It is just the truth.

I think ‘The Last Jedi’ refers to Luke abandoning the conceptual ideals of the Jedi, which is what led to their downfall in the first place (and possibly what led to his failure with Ben and the loss of his students).

Luke will be the Last Jedi because he abandons those ideals when he trains Rey. Rey’s training will embrace both the dark and the light, but only in an attempt to do what is right and just. We saw him sort of embrace that in ROTJ, and maybe that scared him, but after losing all of his students and reexamineing the ideals of past Jedi, he realizes that suppressing the dark side isn’t the best way to go. So he teaches Rey to embrace love, and to accept possesion and attachment as a natural part of life and the force.

So he, in the end, truly is the last Jedi. That would be a good way to both acknowledge the prequels, but also distance itself from them.

But I do think he will at least make it to Episode IX

This does not make any sense. If you abandon the conceptual ideals of the Jedi then you are not Jedi any more.

Not Jedi in the traditional sense but who’s to say that he or Rey won’t rename the Order? If there was ever a time for Grey Jedi to be made canon…
