Actually, the way I understood it, is that the "force healing" and "bringing back from the dead" were two different things... the latter being one of the "unnatural" things Jedi didn't teach. At any rate, Obi Wan was a Padawan when Qui Gon died, so even if Force healing was a thing back then, there's no knowing whether he could've mastered it. As for baby Yoda in the Mandalorian, well, he seems to be a special child, doesn't he? Just like Rey and Ben Solo.

It's an exercise in futility trying to make sense of all the nonsense. Why didn't Rey just save Ben after he saved her? Just his time?

If you can force steal possessions from planets away why not steal their weapon and use it against them? Safer than showing up in person right? The list of crap like this goes on and on...

I don't understand how anyone could claim to be a diehard OT fan and be cool with the ST

Welcome.... to the internet.

Thank you.

Somehow TROS gets a pass for being bloated, muddled etc. but the PT doesn't. People excuse JJ because of the so-called mess RJ left him with.

I think the "injury" Ben had was of a different type... he wasn't physically injured, was he? It seemed he spent all of his life-force to bring Rey back. Quite different from healing physical wounds.
As for the "force-stealing" things, yeah, that was a bit of head scratcher for me, but as a general idea, just like force-ghost Luke being able to grab the light saber. I would've been ok with him stopping it mid-air, but actually grabbing it somehow felt wrong... back to force-stealing: the idea that they could physically interact with each other light years away from each other doesn't really work for me. But... if I have to go along with it as part of the movie, I can understand that it ti something that takes some preparation and concentration, and that you can't really do it spur-of-the-moment.

So there are limits to Rey's powers? Could have fooled me

look we are the boomers here, this young generation is all over this movie though and Heavens forbid you disagree, they love the fact you need to buy all these extra novels to make the story make sense since they love reading and swallow up everything that?s good about this movie because of star wars, i?m seriously a few minority in that discord server were i try to be rational but nah, they get mad for disney being cowards on the 2 second kiss on screen and rose not having enough screen time.

it?s sickening

Actually, I though that was one of the things JJ managed to pull off quite well, he did show her vulnerable. After all, Kylo was beating her until Leia magically sensed it was the right time to intervene.

Ouch. I was sad seeing Ugnolte dead. It gave stakes to the show but I really liked the character.

She did. TLJ has a shot of her looking into the water where it's clearly visible. Whether fighters can be sunk in water for that long - well, whatever. Maybe it's not like Earth water and electronics etc. don't get fried. Or maybe Luke fixes it as it floats up. Except wasn't Luke's door the door from the fighter and Chewie blew that off...

What am I thinking, Palps had all those ships under water - so yeah, that's canon in SW. I guess.

It is a spacecraft, after all, so it will be designed to be airtight for parts that can't get wet. We KNOW that fighter can work after being submerged in brackish swamp water(It was in the greatest movie ever made, apparently, lol). So sea water on an alien planet isn't any kind of stretch at all.

Well, Luke's ship on Dagobah was only submerged for several days and Luke had to spend time cleaning it where as on Ahch-To it was submerged for many years and Rey just jump in it and took off... The only airtight part of the ship would been the cockpit, the engine would of been exposed to the water for all those years...

If that was its biggest issue I would have loved the movie instead of ambivalence. That doesn’t even make the Crap-O-Meter needle move.

It just goes to show you that arguing out this stuff is pointless - 12-18 months ago, so many people on here were swearing that it was SO obvious that the submerged x-wing was an inoperable wreck, as a way to explain why Luke couldn't go to Crait physically, thereby having to do the force holo projection gag.

I created this pic to show how the artwork and what was onscreen in TLJ differed significantly, yet everyone pointed to that source book showing the x-wing's wing being used as Luke's door! And people were mockingly saying "oh, don't tell me - you expected Luke to put his hand out and raise the x-wing - just like Yoda and as the perfect mentor/jedi-megastar (ie and go save the day on Crait)... right?"

And then, in TROS.... he does just EXACTLY that.

As I said a few days ago, I laughed so hard during TROS when that x-wing wasn't even this water logged, barely operable ship - it was perfect, had a helmet all ready, fueled to fly a gazillion miles and its tracking beacon working at 100%.

 

[jye4ever]

lol at people talking about SW as if it?s Star Trek.

Guess what not only was that X-Wing water proof it was protected by the force.

Stop applying science to SW it will get you nowhere fast.

Now go dunk your smart phone in your bath tub lol

We don't know if Rey landed on a planet and fuelled up.

AcCH-To water can be used as alternative X-Wing fuel.

Funny, after two decades as a prequel apologist I'm now in the "hater/never satisfied" camp because I don't like how the finale was handled.

I went from PT apologist to TFA apologist to TLJ hater to, I guess, RoS apologist even though I acknowledge it?s a mess.


Remember a decade ago when PC culture told us not to label people? Now they want to put you in jail for using the wrong label.
