Alright, I have to admit, this string of comments literally made me laugh out loud. Well done, all. :lol
Gang,
I have no intention of seeing EP 9 and I'm as die hard as the rest of you. With that being said, what if they bring Luke back to life through a flash back scene where we see him flight Kylo and the Knights of Wren? And he kicks BUTT! We see how truly powerful Luke has become but it is that very power that ultimately defeats Luke himself? Maybe it was Luke who accidentally kills some of his students trying to, in fact, save them. He defeats Kylo and his Knights but refuses to kill Kylo allowing him to escape but the guilt he feels of having been responsible for killing his students leads him to self exile...
Would this change your / my opinion?

IDK, Luke being back and kicking butt as a flashback just wouldnt have the same impact. His character deserved to have that while he was alive. In the end, he went out like a chump and no flash back is going to correct that. Luke as a force ghost just isn't exciting either.
I know a lot of people wouldnt agree but the only way I would be satisfied is if they somehow brought back Luke alive in 9. It would be kinda silly since he died in 8 but at this point I would be willing to forgo that silliness to get the alive Luke I have been craving to see since 1983.
I love this! And with her winnings she can create an alternate 1985, I mean alternate Episode 8, where things turned out differently. Her winnings resulted in Canto Bight and she runs the planet???? Whattttt?
In all seriousness though I'm out. I won't be seeing 9. I don't care what they do with it.
I agree. It's not exciting for me either. Primarily, because I feel that the purpose of a force ghost in the film would be to impart wisdom and other teachings to Rey. TLJ just kind of ruined that for me because Luke didn't seem to be the slightest bit interested in teaching Rey while he was alive. The only thing I might be interested in seeing is Luke haunting or at least taunting Kylo Ren.

FYI, that was george's original plan with Obi-Wan. For him to cross back over in the epic finale' to help defeat the emperor.

Eh. I think we see how “truly powerful Luke has become” in TLJ, when he does the force projection. Luke coming back as some sort of ultra-warrior would be a significant step below that. I’ve seen this argument before, though. It seems like people think the only way to show a Jedi as “powerful” is to have them kicking *** and fighting a bunch of people at once.
As I’ve said several times recently, it reminds me of the line from Yoda: “wars not make one great.” Luke did something in TLJ that we’d never seen from any other Jedi. It must have been difficult, because it took everything he had to accomplish. What better demonstration of Luke’s power do we need?
There is no doubt Luke is a powerful Jedi but the idea was to give the fans the one thing we've all wanted and waited for... Luke igniting his light saber one last time and seeing an epic light saber fight.
