The Hobbit films effectively killed my interest in any future Tolkien media, but hopefully this will change that. 

Luke is human. He’s not some ideal, Jedi-god. He’s a way more interesting character than any of the Jedi we saw in the prequels because’s a normal, flawed person <i>trying</i> to be a Jedi. In every movie he’s appeared in, we have seen him succumb to his emotions. He barely trained with Yoda and largely had to be…

That’s fair. I’d say the sequel trilogy’s biggest flaw is how much it retreads the original trilogy, but I appreciate that TLJ attempted to shake it up a bit. 

As someone who’s gay, I didn’t find Colbert’s joke homophobic but Kimmel’s definitely veers into “LOL they’re gay for each other” territory.

He went to his hut to confront Ben, not kill him. He only pulled his saber after reading Ben’s mind and momentarily panicking.

It’s totally plausible if you don’t expect a character to be completely infallible or incapable of having split-second thoughts that betray their moral compass. He turns on the saber and immediately stops himself in a matter of seconds, which is a far cry from him going berserk on Vader nearly 30 years ago.  The fact…

He didn’t “try” to murder his nephew. He ignited his saver and immediately regretted it. He was never going to go through with it and the movie makes that explicitly clear.

So don’t click on the article?

Mustached, shirtless Hemsworth gyrating his hips is doing things to me. 

A throwaway line where the Emperor describes Luke’s lightsaber as “a Jedi’s weapon, much like your father’s.”

I mean he was mostly hapless in the original movie and Wildstyle did A LOT so I saw it more as a joke against Emmett than any sort of “feminist lampshading.”

If I recall correctly, he didn’t really establish a timeline of how long he’d been there but had been stranded by an inquisitor.

Presumably this is before he became marooned on Malachor.

His most recent legs were given to him by Death Watch after his magic-made ones were damaged. 

Actually, they are.

She’s dead. 

They’re tattoos given to the males on his homeworld. 

What? No he isn’t.

I remember that. He didn’t want to answer because,  “it’s a very personal question.” 

Obviously he shouldn’t have been harassed but I don’t have a lot of sympathy for people who flaunt their political leanings in public when they know it’s gonna get reactions from people. And the election was two years ago, dude.
