You mean fathering more kids/grandkids operational, or just crane-hovering operational?
Lando looks down at Exogol - "That blast came from Palps' undershorts... he must be fully operational!"
Lando later has the same conversation with Jannah - that using a mobility scooter in no way prohibits abilities that some consider to be unnatural.
I saw this earlier in the week. The story wasn't horrible, though there was a lot of dumb stuff sprinkled throughout. My major criticism is that they crammed too much in. I get they were trying to wrap up as many loose ends as possible, no easy task after last jedi. Still, it was sensory overload and gave me a headache. Felt like the star tours ride half the time, which might be good for some.
I'm not big on the redemption angle at the end, as I feel some actions shouldn't allow one to be redeemed. But it was the same thing with Vader. Kind of the Christian concept- no matter how horrible you have been, repent at the end and you can live for eternity as a force ghost.
I wouldn't watch it again, but it was better than Solo and Rogue One, anyway.
Mandalorian for me instead, thanks.

With the amount of powers now available both through the force and otherwise, I'm thinking Luke was pretty damn lame for not taking on the whole FO himself.
Some hyperspace skipping, followed by a force-guided Holdo manuever ("hyperspace ramming") on the ATATs, force healing himself as he's injured, having Ben and Yoda assist in the fight as force ghosts, if he's killed summoning lightning to fry stuff then resurrecting himself (aided by Yoda and Ben?,) hell, maybe resurrecting Ben and Yoda as well (new power for Episode X?) along with dark side and light side versions of Anakin etc etc.
If one was to read this as a possible journey for Luke post ROTJ most would have scoffed and dismissed it as ridiculous fan fiction...yet here we are with the ST in 2019 with average Joes and middling force users performing these very acts.
And we also have folks bending over backwards trying to justify the nonsense.

"One man and a laser sword."
How 'bout one woman and TWO laser swords!!
As a longtime prequel apologist I can sympathise, but TROS requires too much suspension of disbelief and too many leaps of logic even for me.
Well, at least we now know that in TLJ Luke has the option of flying his x-wing to Crait instead of going with his holo-projector "humiliate Kylo virtually while committing suicide" plan.
Watched the OT with family this week.
Guess what?
Force projection is mentioned specifically by Yoda in ESB....
Yoda: ?this one, a long time have I watched, all his life, as he looked away, to the future, the horizon.....?
Yoda obviously was physically watching him somehow............from VERY far away.
Must have been some sort of projection/force skype.

Well, not to open that can of worms (it ends up in the same "you wanted Luke to lift a finger and destroy all the ATATs while levitating and simultaneously twirling two lightsabers with his mind" territory
All I was saying is that many used the "Luke couldn't get to Crait because Rey had left and the x-wing was obviously a wreck - duh, it's underwater" excuse for Luke's decision to commit suicide via holo-projection - like he had no choice - but TROS changed all that.
It's also funny that many mocked the idea of Luke raising it ala Yoda in TLJ as oh-so obvious and hackneyed - yet that's exactly what we got in TROS.
I guess Luke didn't have room to park his fighter on land (he wasn't aware of the huge landing pad the Falcon lands on) so decided to put it in the ol' davy jones' locker storage unit option, knowing its systems would be 100% preserved. Makes no sense however you look at it.
Unless he was hiding it so he could not be found....
Which is exactly what he was doing.

Wait now Yoda projected an image of himself so that his holographic eyeballs could watch Luke?
Check, please.
Check, please.
And would remotely snatch single socks out of the dryer just to mess with the Lars', that scamp.

Well at least Jedi perving on young men is consistent. I guess we know how Palpatine went blind and wore out his hands.

"through the force, things you will see..." - I kinda saw it as more of a crystal ball type thing, less of a hyper-real MJ hologram you transmit millions of miles with your mind that people can talk/fight with. Or... that you can watch people with ("hey Luke.... look at that creepy little green guy watching you from over there! Oh wait he just disappeared."
)Well, he was found, and then he wasn't hiding. Because then everyone was in danger.
So whatever his original intentions on the island, they were out the window at that point.
Regardless, the question is whether he had no choice but to commit holo-suicide or whether he had other options. TLJ suggested he did not, TROS suggests he did.

I love how the movie that's about a creepy old man trying to get into a young woman's body - who also happens to be his granddaughter - ends with a jokey-awkward moment where creepy old Lando is (apparently...) trying to get it on with a young woman - who also may happen to be his daughter.
Are you suggesting the Lando, Finn, Jannah and Ice Cream Maker Guy are all related because they are black?

Lando-ish
Yes.
Uh, no. No, of course not. Umm...
But... if they aren't related, then it puts Lando back in creepy old man territory again. Damnit!
I'm sure that the filmmakers would never have done that either. Because that would be kinda weird if they were related because they are black.
According to sources Jannah was raised by ice cream maker guy and Lando during his pansexual days but then put in the same stormtrooper regiment as Finn, but it was purely coincidental that both were black. Like it wasn't a "black regiment" or anything.
It's also purely coincidental that the only stormtroopers we have ever met that mutinied were black and I'm sure that many of those cruel/brutal stormtroopers in the movie are black. We just... never saw that.
Those uppity stormtrooper mutineers.
I always pictured stormtroopers as toxic white males.

'Memba the fan theories before TFA that Finn was Lando's son. Er, because he was black I guess...
Well, it's tricky. Because stormtroopers are toxic white males. But as soon as they mutiny or join the resistance, they become POC.
That's why the resistance is super diverse, majority POC - like as if Twitter voted on who got in - but the FO is like 95-98% white male (the FO is not above tokenism.)
It's just a thing that we don't dwell on.
So it's been touched on, briefly, because you asked, and now we move on.Similar threads
