as much as I enjoy CGI Luke (yes I think they did a great job in tbobf), I still wish Graham Hamilton could have the chance to play Luke without his face being covered because he has such a graceful and elegant demeanour that I can’t dream of a better jedi master luke
I NEED to see more of him playing post-empire luke in his prime
I totally agreed with you. He’s already perfect for Luke Skywalker without CGI.
Yessssssss. This
the mandalorian, the book of boba fett and kenobi really looked at jj abbram’s interpretation of star wars and was like fuck you, people actually liked the prequels and we’re gonna ignore what you did
hey y’all I fixed his hat
make it bigger
MAKE IT BIGGER
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Spot the difference
Somethin’ funny?
Yes, as a matter of fact
I’m sure @superiorsniper would agree ;)
I feel like this is basically what happened
disney took one look at luke skywalker and said ‘i can make him worse’
i just don’t get what’s so hard about it to understand. fans don’t want disillusioned “i’m about to make the same mistakes as the jedi before me” luke skywalker. they want “when given an ultimatum between being a proper jedi and saving my friends, i chose my friends” luke. they want “love brought my father back to the light side in the final moments of his life” skywalker. they want the man who was so successful not because he followed “the code” but because he followed his heart. like disney i am begging stop destroying the integrity of one of the most beloved characters in the franchise everytime u put him on screen
where Filoni digs a grave for himself trying to explain the montral monstrosity and actual witness of how the designs look further and further away from Ahsoka from ver 1 to 144
What If the Ahsoka that we have in animation was actually based on this [live-action] version of Ahsoka? One of the things you would do in animation Is an exaggeration, making the montrals bigger. Once they’re in real life, suddenly it becomes a little less believable to the eye, at least for me. And if you ever see footage of Shaak Ti [another Togruta Jedl character seen in the Star Wars prequels] in action, there’s a lot of rubbery movement in the montrals. That works great for that character in the background, as she was, but if you’re talking a featured character, right up front, delivering drama, you have to make it all seem as natural as possible. And I don’t want you staring at the montrals and the lekku.

just imagining Luke going through Yoda’s hut and seeing the backpack like, “hmmm might need this again”
And then he DID
Not only that, he also grabbed Yoda’s lightsaber.
Which makes sense, I guess. You don’t just leave those things lying around, they’re dangerous! And the kyber crystal was probably singing that it wanted to go with him anyway. But what kills me about the backpack is like. Yoda’s species isn’t really known in the galaxy, we’ve only ever seen three total, and one of those constantly gets the “What the fuck is that!?” treatment, showing us they’re very, very rare. So, it’s not like Luke expected a baby Yoda. So why DID he take the backpack? It’s probably a boring answer, something like, “he needed it to put a bunch of stuff in and carry it back to his ship”, but I prefer something far funnier, like the Force yelling, “YOU GOTTA TAKE THIS BACKPACK WITH YOU!!” Luke: “Wha–? Why? It’s a million years old and I have a perfectly good bag already and–” The Force: “YOU GOTTA THO.” Luke: “Could you at least give me a hint to why?” The Force: “YOU’LL SEE. IT’LL BE GREAT.” Luke, nine years later: “Oh this IS a good reason to have kept this! :D :D :D” Anyway, Luke Skywalker is the grandson of the Force and he thinks its hilarious, you can’t change my mind.
Anakin Skywalker’s story is one of how he was so afraid to live without people–and this is what Star Wars and the Jedi mean by attachment, specifically about how it’s about what you feel, that you want to keep them against literally any obstacle, no matter how galaxy-ruining that obstacle might be–that he was so unwilling to choose, that he fell to the dark side and lost everything. He helped burn down the galaxy because he was attached to things, because he couldn’t let go. That is literally the story of Anakin Skywalker!! He was so afraid to let go of people and his feelings that he fell into the dark!! Because letting go is a central theme of Star Wars. I’m not just pulling that out of my ass, George Lucas has said it in those exact words, no paraphrasing, that letting go is a central theme of his movies! So, to have Luke Skywalker, the son of Anakin Skywalker, the man who fell to the dark side because he couldn’t let go of his desperate fears that he would lose people, look at Grogu and understand that he’s facing a similar situation? To have Luke Skywalker, who understands what it means to struggle with your feelings, that he made mistakes in this in the past as well, that he left his training early (and Lucas has been explicit about how that was a mistake) because of his fears for his friends, look at Grogu and understand he’s facing similar feelings? It hits hard. Luke Skywalker, who had compassion for the monster that was his father, who saw the good in him when so many struggled to still see it, who understands what the dark side does to a person, who knows that it meant he never got to truly know his father because it torn Anakin to pieces, he looks at Grogu and doesn’t want that to happen again. Anakin Skywalker refused to choose and the galaxy suffered for it because it was too hard for him. To have his son helping another through the same thing, trying to help Grogu make a better choice, that really hit me hard.
hey wtf
