The Book of Boba Fett

1. Garsa is a Sith Lord
2. The female Tusken is Maris Brood
3. Luke brings Grogu home joined by Leia to Tatooinne for training fights alongside of Boba and Fennec instead of against them
4.Leia force chokes the Twin Hutts after they capture Fennec and chain her to them.

(This was all meant to be funny)

...and the weird thing is, I think with some tweaks, Old Man Luke could have worked. Por ejemplo: Rather than tossing his father's light saber over his shoulder, what if Luke had intensely stared at it, then pensively closed his eyes as he handed it back to Rey: "This is yours, now. This no longer belongs to me." as he walked away. Showing regret, grief, and resignation to his fate without dishonoring the legacy and import of the Skywalker saber.

My assumption was that Luke had gone looking for some ancient Jedi wisdom at the first Jedi temple after his failing with Ben Solo. But finding no solace, no answers in the long abandoned temple, he felt that he must "disconnect" from the Force, to prevent Ben/Kylo and Snoke from sensing Luke's presence on Ach-too and seeking him out and "forcing" another confrontation.

You know: Since Force Ghost Luke knew that Rey was a Palpatine, then how MUCH MORE did he know? Was Luke aware of Snoke at any point in Kylo's fall to the Dark Side? Did Luke only get that nugget after he joined the Force? Or did he sense it after he re-connected with the Force, and decide to fight Kylo in the holodeck? If so, then Luke may have know that Snoke was an imperfect clone that Palpatine tried to imbue with his presence, but failed (in the same way that Obi-Wan knew Vader was Luke's father, but withheld the information).

The below video gives a considered explanation of why RJs Luke Skywalker simply was NOT Luke Skywalker, how his character was destroyed. It's a couple of minutes but well worth the watch. I skipped ahead to the important part(s) RE: Luke's character.

"we can't write well enough to do these characters justice with destroying our own lame characters, so, how bout we just destroy their lives and kill them off all together, that way we don't have to compete with them?!?"

Everyone in the room nods...a voice in the room says "cool, i can leave by 5 today!"...

I'm just going to chime in on this and say.

I absolutely love Luke in the ST. The depressed, guilt filled Luke, that disappears in shame. Without telling a soul. Seeing my childhood hero succumb to his demons, resonated with me so deeply. I've had my own struggles, with my demons, and I wish I could say I've always defeat them. But I haven't, I've succumbed to my demons. And when I do, I feel like crawling away and hiding from everyone I know. To see Luke like that, but then in the end, to rise above his guilt and shame. I never been more moved.

Luke was absolutely broken. He was beyond depressed, undignified and didn’t care about anything or anyone at that point. I don’t know if I would have written it that way but I understand the story arc and redemption.

I can't even think on this wavelength because i don't even want to use the Force Awakens as a template. It's called the Skywalker Saga for a reason...its all about Anakin, Luke and Leia. Yes, the Star wars universe is big etc. But make a separate movie that doesn't involve the Skywalkers then. The problem is you have The Empire controlled by Palpatine. Every Star wars movie therefore will be still under his influence to a point, and if to him, then Vader and if to Vader then Luke and Leia. But, the Emperor died!! Now you have a clean slate to work with and the universe can expand. They had the Golden Ticket for crying out loud and they decided to steal fizzy lifting drink and aren't the least bit worried about giving the everlasting gobstopper back or being the least bit repentant.

Now with TBOBF you watch it with the understanding that, oh yeah...the emperor is still alive and Vaders sacrifice means nothing and now im supposed to be invested into these characters that , if they are heroic, if they do have a sacrifice or have a change of heart then they can just keep rewriting them later and completely unravel any foundation previously laid in order to keep extracting money from everyone.

I feel you, man. But this is a multi billion dollar company that exists just to make money-the quality of the writing isn’t nearly as important. I’m not excusing laziness, but it’s reality. You know the thing that is most impressive by the writer of Calvin and Hobbes, Bill Watterson? He never sold himself out to anyone. Calvin and Hobbes had ZERO merchandising and he didn’t drive it into the ground. Almost no one has the fortitude to do that.

Dude...we all have been there...depressed at points wanting to be alone but guess what? As a Father and as a Husband and a brother etc., we don't do that. We don't walk away from the ones we supposedly love because," poor me, im so depressed". No...we fight through it, we confront it, we have hope that things will get better(That's the Luke we know). Any person here on this forum willing to admit they abandoned their family in time of need to go live on some island and made everyone else come looking for them is not a hero....they are selfish. If they saw their error and came back, you did what was right but that doesn't make you a hero and you don't get extra points for righting a wrong...it's what you should have done in the first place Stayed!! A hero stays and fights and cares for others more than himself. The Luke that was in TLJ was not a hero. He didn't even physically come to do anything. He stayed on his rock from a distance. Great hero . The Luke we know went after his father to turn him to the good because he recognized their was still good left in him. The Luke we got was a flippin selfish coward and was anything but heroic ( ooh, you created a distraction while floating above a rock). How about get in your Xwing and start blasting something like Poe. Even Han Solo came to confront his son in the flesh...I can't anymore, sorry. I respect you as a person and your right to your opinion but i can't even describe to you how low i got in life...scary low, but i never ran out on the ones i loved.

Couldn't agree more.
 
Joek3rr i apologize to you if my response seemed strong...it wasn't directed at you , that movie really touches a nerve with me. You have the right to relate as you see fit and i do not have the right to call that into question..i was selfish in thinking i had to respond. My apologies to everyone on the forum because it was Me who started the distraction, which wasn't my intention...i'm having a bad day and should have known better than to bring it up here.
