1/6 Hot Toys - Star Wars: The Last Jedi - Luke Skywalker-CRAIT (Force Projection) -

[Khev]

The only thing I'm still not clear on is why Luke chose to project a younger version of himself

He should have projected himself as 1995 POTF Pro Wrestler Luke. That would have definitely freaked Kylo out.

But with long saber or short?

It would be a funny spoof on Rey if every time she used the force there was actually a Jedi nearby doing it, and Rey actually has zero force ability.

Kathleen Kennedy is going to show up in your room in ghost form and summon lightning upon you.

The only thing I'm still not clear on is why Luke chose to project a younger version of himself, since it seems like that would risk Kylo seeing through his ruse too early. Not to mention the audience watching the movie.

I'm sure Kylo would have been just as pissed to see an older and grayer Luke as the younger one. And it would have probably made the final reveal even more surprising and unexpected than it was.

Out of many odd creative choices in TLJ, this one stands out because it was unnecessary and the only effect it could have is to potentially undermine the twist reveal by strongly hinting something isn't right with Luke's appearing on Crait.

Somebody please rep for this.

This is amazing.

Short saber....long tray

The "Just For Men" version is certainly perplexing.

Luke always admired Chuck Norris.

Strange, yes. But better than projecting his sad, fat, pouty self where Kylo would certainly laugh, perhaps even take pity on what Luke has become and offer him some green milk to ease his pain.

It was that giggling jokester ghost Yoda all along. What a card that guy is!

Just For Men Luke and Hayden Christensen Anakin Ghost should get together for lunch so they can marvel at each other's fake young selves.

A huge missed opportunity to canonize that figure once and for all, lol.

I once watched a fan video that speculated why he went with his blue lightsaber as opposed to his green, and their rationale for this was he wasn't just projecting himself; he was projecting what he felt was the best version of himself. With his blue lightsaber, it perhaps represented to him a time in his journey when he was hopeful and full of life, and viewed as the "new hope" that would conquer Vader and his Emperor. Conversely, his green lightsaber was perhaps something that he felt that brought him shame, since it was the saber he ignited when he contemplated for a moment striking down Kylo. Made sense to me.

As far as his younger look goes, perhaps this same line of reasoning applies and he felt that the time between RotJ and when Kylo burned down the new Jedi Temple that he erected, was when he was at his strongest.

That's what I was thinking too. Also, the blue saber is him accepting the sword from Rey that he refuses twice prior in the movie. I kinda thought it would piss Kylo off more too to see Luke "at his best" and unwavered by Kylo's betrayal.

Yeah I guess that makes sense, and Rian has said that the point of the scene was for Luke to inspire a new generation of Jedi, so something closer to his Jedi Knight look would probably do that a lot better. And plus Hamill may well have tried the Crait outfit with the grayer hair and beard and they decided that it just didn't work as well visually.

Can anyone photoshop the TLJ sculpt onto this figure with shorter hair lol

It's a bit like an online dating profile. If it's a choice of Just for Men or not, you always go with the more youthful look.

Older looking people do not make for good inspirational images.

We gotta do a reality check here though - it's a kinda out-there idea that Kylo would have been less "pissed off" if Luke had a grey/dark hair mix (Hamill really hasn't gone all that grey other than parts of his beard) and a green saber.

None of this - the idea of Luke with darkened hair/beard or using the blue saber - really in any way explains the creative choice for those things. The truth is, onlookers would have been every bit as inspired by Luke with greyish hair and a green saber, and Kylo would have 100% behaved in the same way toward Luke.

Yeah, I agree it could have been the same either way - just saying that's what I think they were going for. However, I do think that him using the blue saber does hold some weight both in terms of him accepting the saber that was offered twice prior to him, and ending his journey with his father's saber that he began his journey with is kinda cool IMO. But in terms of reasoning for the choice, the only one I can really think of is Luke accepting the saber from Rey.

 

[URSW]

Photoshopped.

 

[parrasmaniac]

incredible. Such a little change, makes such a difference... the eyebrows.

 

[pixletwin]

IMO The figure would actually look better with the TLJ headsculpt if they just changed the hair lol. This one looks a pudgy middle school band teacher.
