He didn’t command the defenses or the fleet deployment at the second Death Star, either—that was all on Palpatine.

After watching Han’s actual death, I agree with Ford that Han should have died at the end of RotJ.

Plus his big reunion with Leia lasts about 15 seconds. And his immediate reaction to Han’s death occurs offscreen. Really, his biggest emotional connection in this movie is in one scene with Artoo.

OT Obi-wan, Yoda, and Palpatine being, of course, Luke’s father’s brother’s uncle’s nephew’s cousin’s former roommates, as canonically described in Lucas’s Return of the Jedi Appendices.

That being said, “kahunas” was an awesome word to substitute!

Not just Ben, but the handful of Luke’s students he took with him, all of whom Luke should have felt personally responsible for going after and stopping before they murdered a few billion people. Not to mention the legendary Dark Side user who started this new mess in the first place.

But you must remember that there are some fine people—heroes, really—on both sides of the Space Wizard/Space Nazi philosophical divide.

He didn’t even have to crush or explode them. They were standing so close together he could have pushed the one on the end and toppled the whole row like dominoes. Those designs can’t stand up again. The troops could have even popped out of the hatches, dazed but alive, so it wouldn’t be like the Resistance won the…

Yes, but that was in the Core Worlds, divided between this new Republic and the Imperial remnant, both of which were massively disarmed by treaty. The First Order was arming itself in the Unknown Regions (Nazi Argentina, according to Abrams’s interviews), unconnected to the old war machine, unless Kuat was pumping out…

What, do you expect them to walk a whole fifty feet to tap Darrell Hammond again (I would have said Leslie Jones, but she probably gets enough death threats as it is)?

Ah, but that was pre-Empire, and literally a slightly dark-skinned slave race that was exploited and ground into the muck in order to build the shiny new Empire. They suffered heavy casualties, aged at an accelerated rate, and by Luke’s day had largely been replaced by (white, male, human) conscripts.

Yeah, I figured the two bald white guys on the left were RPG/tabletop game designers, but couldn’t be of any help in identifying exactly where this was from.

I know one who hates anything that came after 1983, in any medium. What the Internet taught me is that some fans hate anything that came after 1980.

Was said airplane propeller merrily whirling away in Hitler’s parlor room, at the time?

It was weird for me that Poe let Finn and Rose go off on their own highly important mission and didn’t tag along to help, especially since his X-Wing was blown up, and we know Finn can’t really pilot a ship all that well. You get the added bonus of spending more time with the best character relationship from the last…

It didn’t make any sense. What does God need with a starship?

I was surprised when they literally introduced themselves to each other for the first time in the second film. I had assumed after the first one that they had met offscreen at Finn’s bacta tank-side, but apparently Rey dropped Finn off at the Resistance base and immediately left to find Luke.

Replying to you rather than the concern monkey, I’d wager the majority of successful actresses in both America and Germany are conventionally attractive or even beautiful.

I didn’t care for the movie that much (and Canto Bight least of all), but I thought Tran gave the best performance in the film, next to Hamill.

I thought that only worked if a staff member followed you, not a fellow commenter?
