All I know is that based on what we saw in yesterday's episode they should use that same team of movie magic wizards and give us an ongoing continuation of Luke's story *now* while Mark is still alive and the body double/Deepfake team is firing on all cylinders.
I want that but alas the ST looms like a shadow over everything they've built here. :( As soon as a child called Ben Solo shows up - which would be imminent if Han & Leia are to make an appearance - that's it. The great ST decanonization dream is over and DoomCock's failure will be complete. :lol :gah:
 
What if Ahsoka replaced Mara Jade as Luke's wife? He was clearly simping for her when asking if he'd see her again (which I could absolutely see as a total Luke move, lol).

Mark was always bummed about the Leia sister thing, lol.

 
There's no betrayal of Luke's character by taking attachments into account and offering Grogu a choice. In fact, I have no idea where the notion came from that Lucas was presenting the Jedi view of no attachments in the PT as some sort of dogmatic flaw of the Jedi Order. I wish someone could point out to me what that interpretation is based on, because everything I've ever heard and read from Lucas suggests no such thing.

Lucas has addressed this in his director's commentaries, he's been filmed teaching his staff on TCW about it, and he's given countless interviews on the subject. There shouldn't be any confusion about why George included the no attachments concept, and how it aligns with his own personal ideology (which is rooted quite a bit in Eastern philosophy).

From one of the Rinzler books, Lucas puts it this way:

"No human can let go. It’s very hard. Ultimately, we do let go because it’s inevitable; you do die, and you do lose your loved ones. But while you’re alive, you can’t be obsessed with holding on. Because holding on is in the same category and the precursor to greed. [...]The Jedi are trained to let go. They’re trained from birth, they’re not supposed to form attachments. They can love people - in fact, they should love everybody. They should love their enemies; they should love the Sith. But they can’t form attachments. So, what all these movies are about is greed. Greed is a source of pain and suffering for everybody. And the ultimate state of greed is the desire to cheat death."

And from the Archives book (prequel version):

"They trained more than anything else to understand the transitional nature of life, that things are constantly changing and you can’t hold on to anything. You can love things but you can’t be attached to them. You must be willing to let the flow of life and the flow of the Force move through your life, move through you. So that you can be compassionate and loving and caring, but not be possessive and grabbing and holding on to things and trying to keep things the way they are."

And when it comes to Luke (from the same Archives book):

"Luke is faced with the same issues and practically the same scenes that Anakin is faced with. Anakin says yes, and Luke says no. [...]We have the scene when Anakin decides to save Palpatine and join him, so they could learn how to save Padme. The equivalent scene in VI is when the Emperor’s trying to get Luke to kill his dad so he can save his sister."

If you listen to the commentary track on the ESB disc and go to the Dagobah scene where Luke sees the vision of his friends, Lucas frames Luke's actions as a clear failure, and for much of the same reason. It's bizarre to me with so much reference material available how any of this is still considered enigmatic.
So glad a-dev responded. I would have ****** it up :lol
Well I think it's because this idea of no attachments is alien to most humans. That whole philosophy itself seems confusing and contradictory. You're encouraged to love but you cannot 'have' love?? WTF? And we do tend to view it as a causal factor in Anakin's turn to the darkside. If Anakin had simply been allowed to free his mother from slavery as he wanted or to even go check on her at some point, if he had been allowed to love someone openly and not have to keep it a secret - he would have had so fewer reasons to resent the Jedi. Given how we identify with his need to keep people he loves safe - 'attachments' as the Jedi call it - that's just basic humanity to us - we the audience blame the Jedi for his turn at least as much as any other reason and so that gives us the impression that the films are presenting the Jedi teachings as flawed since they contributed in no small part to everything that follows.

But yes, your Lucas quotes do suggest more that he is advocating the Jedi philosophy and, I guess, putting all the responsibility on Anakin. And yet all I can think is how the hell this doesn't happen with every second or third student. It IS a flawed philosophy. I find it so silly it's a big reason I've never liked the PT :huh
Exactly. The jedi were idiots in the PT. Hell with jedi logic, Luke should have just left Han at Jabba's palace. Way too much attachment there to his friend.. Keeping things, 'The way they are"

I always figured in the BIG picture that Luke moved past this dogmatic logic. That it was his feelings that helped him come out on top. But he was in control of his feelings.

Of course at the time ROTJ was made being a jedi was still cool and not what they turned out to be in the PT.

Didn't Luke point out the faults of the JO in TLJ by saying they created Darth Vader? I mean they basically had as much of hand in it as the emperor did.


Blah.. Thats why OT is the only real SW
Actually I know why it doesn't happen with every second or third student - it's because the Jedi normally abduct children before they've had time to form bonds with anyone or anything and they indoctrinate them from there. That's OK then.
:lol

I know right? Wonder if the parents had any say in any of this. Sick **** jedi.

Better not be married. That there would be an attachment.
 
Too bad BadBatch struck out with the general viewers..maybe Filoni should just stick to live action from now on :chase
I just had no interest in watching a bunch of clones again.. They were my least fav episodes of TCWs,

Seeing Cad was awesome. Hope Boba Fett does not come into contact with as he would not stand a chance. Cad would simply shoot him dead when Boba tries too huge him.

"I've just made a deal that will keep the ST out of here forever..."

Given the potential here they just need to retcon the ST and build on what they've done during Mando-BoBF.

She should have responded - what does your heart tell you?

Hah, just before that part Carrie Fisher is talking about the Slave Leia costume and how Boba Fett was standing behind her and could probably see everything due to how the bikini did not 'cling' as they are supposed to.

Holy crap. :lol

And now we know that the reason she didn't care was because she knew Fett was a eunuch, lol.

It's a forlorn hope. I know that. Disney aren't going to disrespect everyone that worked on those films by ejecting them from canon. They're not going to make any concessions to the youtube crowd that can't be disguised as something they were always gonna do anyway. And how would they possibly disguise the total erasure of the Sequel trilogy from canon? I wish they would and I will ''hold on'' to my sad hope until the day I see Han and Leia turn up with a single male child who has suspiciously Sullustan-like features.

Dave Filoni can always use the World Between Words to change a few things in the future of the saga, but i would only erase Rise of Skywalker things, part of because i love TLJ and part because it would be a huge desrespect to Carrie Fisher as this was her last real work in the saga.
 
I don't buy 1/6 SW figures, but this one is tempting.

This Bane fellow better not disappoint...like someone else I know.

Also, what's with those tubes? Is that for breathing? What with guys named Bane and tubes?

That dinner scene will always strike a chord with me. It was a major scene that was missing on my family's ill-fated TV recording of Empire where we forgot to resume recording after we had paused it during ad-breaks. That was my copy of Empire for years - or what seemed like years back then, I was a child, so maybe it was one or 2 years at most. I was missing the later Dagobah scenes and pretty much most of the Cloud City stuff up to the escape. I don't think we even had the Carbon Freezing of Han.

But that dinner scene - when I finally got to see that again, having completely forgotten about it - Holy **** Han Solo met Darth Vader? He shot at him?! Vader force pulls the gun out of his hand?! Boba Fett walks in! For me it was like watching a special edition of the film with brand new scenes before the special editions were a thing.
