I guess maybe there was more to it than I'm aware of though.
SW POTC crossover when!

"A long time ago in a galaxy far far away" meets modern day superheroes here? Or are we talking ancient heroes? Am I the only one that thinks a Star Wars / Marvel crossover is a very bad idea?
AVP
21 Jump Street/MIB
Disney/Lucasfilm
Why not just throw in LOTR, Toy Story, and Fast & the Furious too? "Luke Skywalker, meet Hot Toys Luke Skywalker."
Need I go on?
That Campea Video is funny. He’s like “I love everything Kathleen Kennedy is doing. Love all the movies under her management but she has to step down because so many others are unhappy with what she’s done.” He’s too afraid to not like anything. What a shill!
First of all: that was a great read. Thank you for posting the food for thought. There's one point you make (and plenty of other people have made it too) that I look at very differently. It's your point about Rian Johnson being stuck having to come up with a reason for Abrams having Luke just "sitting on his ass." Wouldn't any alternative to Luke sitting on his ass have been problematic when you need to establish a sustained new villain/threat for three sequels?
Here's what I mean. A lot of people seem to want it both ways: they want 1.) a Luke who is the greatest Jedi ever (the Chosen One, if you will), and 2.) a Luke who would never go into exile. I get that; a part of me wants that too. But then, how could you build a credible antagonist for a sequel trilogy if Luke is still the all-powerful Jedi master who'd be there to take on any emerging Dark Side threat?
Luke, the guy who defeated the legendary Vader (when Luke was still a Jedi knight), would now have become even more powerful/knowledgeable (and rise to Jedi master). How would the "bad guys" gain enough of a foothold to pose a dramatic and credible sequel antagonist in a galaxy that had an active ass-kicking legend like Jedi Master Luke Skywalker? Shouldn't a more evolved (more knowledge and ability) Luke be able to thwart any post-Palpatine threat (like Snoke and the rising First Order) before it gets powerful enough to last three movies?
Moving the uber-powered Luke chess piece off the board seems to me like a sensible (maybe even necessary) device for clearing the way to a new Emperor/Vader level of threat. What's better: Luke being out-dueled by Snoke and Kylo in actual combat/strategy/Force use (which would likely have to be the case to make sense with their rise to power if Luke isn't sitting it out)? Or, a devastated Luke off the board because he doesn't want to be responsible for empowering anymore new Vaders? Can't really win either way, so what's the lesser of two evils here?
Would an older Luke be preferable for all of us if he was a badass who never lost the unshakable optimism and fight that he had in the OT? Absolutely. But, Abrams had to figure out a way to come up with a Vader/Emperor type of antagonist in a landscape that contained a more powerful version of Luke than the one who was destroying a Death Star, defeating Darth Vader, and standing tall as both of the last two Sith lords had been vanquished. In the lead-up to the ST, Abrams had to either sit Luke on his ass, or have it kicked. I prefer the former option, even if I don't like either one. Without choosing one, though, I don't think the rise to prominence of the new evil power would have been fully credible.
Maybe I'm just missing a better way to go about creating drama while keeping Luke the Legend in the fight the whole time. I don't know. Either way, thank you again for a great thought-provoking read.
Asking for equality rights..yet refuse to take responsibility like a man and playing viction role and blame others.
Looking good queen "Kathy"
She asked for equal rights? Wow, imagine, a female human having the same rights as a male human, dark times!
I don't know, I know a lot of men who can't seem to take responsibility either.
You sound kinda like an incel saying stuff like that.
