As for some complaints about Luke in this thread, lol, we scream we want our cake and eat it to, then Lucasfilm/Disney bring out said cake and we complain "this is not the cake we wanted!' Jeez, you can't please some folks. ;)

To me Luke Skywalker IS Star Wars, though I never asked or wanted to see more stories with him. His journey ended in 1983 and I can live with that. The reason why fans are so mixed on what happened to his character after ROTJ is because there's no story worth telling. The emotional fulfillnent and arc of the character is over. Period. That's why nothing since can ever satisfy because it lacks true catharsis. Regardless of how anyone feels about ROTJ as a whole, Luke's story was concluded to perfection.

The fact that he shows up, or Ashoka, or Boba Fett, or some other legacy character means the people in charge don't believe in their own new characters enough to write stories without having to constantly rely on the past. I've said it many times but it bears repeating. Just because you CAN do something doesn't mean you SHOULD.

I would have stuck with the Mandalorian if it hadn't turned into a cameo of the week show. That's why I never bothered with Fett.

HMSwolfe i think the whole “more Luke = good” situation arises from a very vocal group that feel because TLJ Luke wasn’t “right” that we need more of this Luke because Favreau and Filoni “get it”. The idea being that any Luke appearance after ROTJ will be better than TLJ so of course we want him.

For those who are praying for a retcon of the ST and Jake from TLJ, no amount of "moar" Luke is going to redeem those stories if they're still canon which is why I scoff at the notion that Filoni or Favreau are the saviours of Star Wars.

Exactly...I've held my peace waiting for someone else to say it because i'm so iritated at the hypocrisy. We fans always want our cake and eat it too...that's why people want Grogu to take both. Sorry, life is full of choices and we all don't get to have what we want like like spoiled brats. Mando was given a choice. He made his choice, now he has to live with it. Stop criticizing dogmas when people have the choice to receive it or reject it...no one is forcing anyone's hand here. Mando chose Grogu over self...He is selfless even though he really wanted to see him. Grogu is still a child. You expect him to make a childish choice. Grogu reminds me of Anakin more than Yoda. He chose to become a Jedi by permission from Mando. Anakin chose to go with Qui-gon and leave his mother. The Chain mail just has my head scratching...not effective against a blaster...nor a lightsaber because he can still be burned. Grogu is a Force user...He is a Jedi...clearly. Mando spent a whole 2 seasons getting him to Luke ...to undercut that now just because they love each other is just silly. I get it...trust me. Everytime i leave my kid behind and have to go to work i feel the heart tug...but i know as a father i have to teach my son how to be a man. That IS LOVE!!! Love isn't just the warm fuzzies and "i miss you". Love is demonstrated in actions and choice...even disallowing choice at times knowing the nature of a child to willingly choose things that will put them in danger. Any child you lay down green beans and a chocolate bar, which will they choose? The short term gratification or long term health? Mando made the adult decision. Luke is trying to discern if Grogu will finish what he starts...if he really has made a choice in his heart to follow the training. So...NO...I do NOT want him to choose Both. Does he need either one? Nope , but the lightsaber is a Jedi weapon and is an extention of the force user. Grogu is not a mandalorian.

This choice is NOT about creeds at all. It's a choice about , "are you willing to give in to your emotional, temporal desire in exchange for what you can accomplish long term through patience? Luke thinks Grogu is too focused on 1 frog(DIn Djarin)...He needs to expand himself to understand his life is about more than just 1 person. Luke knows this all too well. He knows his father died and now he must accept that reality and use what he's learned to protect and influence others. He's trying to show Grogu that he is most definitely going to out live his "Daddy". Doesn't mean he has to forget him or never see him again...just needs to focus on the trial at hand. Give a man a fish, he eats for a day...teach a man to fish , he eats for a lifetime. To me, the chain mail is just impractical and stupid...I hope he force melts it into a beskar ball or something. As far as Yoda's lightsaber goes? Is Yoda his father? IDK. That is the only thing that would make sense to why a New Jedi Master would hand over a saber and not see if he can build one on his own...like what happened to Luke himself. I would rather have him either reject both and go and make his own lightsaber.

BUT....I can picture Grogu levitating both in the air in front of Luke and deconstructing both items and reconfiguring both to converge into a Beskar/Yoda mashup lightsaber...like this pic...i can only guess which way the writers will tell this.

Ehhhh, you’re putting words in my mouth. The Joker and Riddler are at least tied to Batman in a direct way. They are foils for him. I wouldn’t want a Batman series where they instead go off on a random tangent about Alfred buying a new feather duster or learning a better tecnique to shining the silver.

Dragging this back out from the depths of this thread, but it's listed somewhere that this is Barris' crest?

It actually appears on almost every door in the padawan/jedi quarters hallway. This is just a crest that shows where different ranks of jedi are housed, I'm going to assume. Which means Grogu and the other 3 jedi were in the hallway outside their rooms.
