It just needs to be followed up with a "and then Poochie died on his way home to his planet" single animation cell that explains what happened to Luke. The end. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago I choose to believe that Luke was a ghost the whole time. He was killed with the other Jedi when Kylo Ren attacked the Jedi Temple. Rey is just seeing a Force ghost, and ghost Luke and confused and angry which is why he's acting so weird. Probably doesn't line up perfectly with what happens in TLJ, but I only saw it once when it was released so I can just remember Rey visiting Luke at a bad time when he was an angry ghost. Nothing really happens in TLJ anyway so there's not much reason to watch it again. permalink fedilink source parent [–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago (1 child) Precisely. If Lucas didn't bother to retain that actor/character for ROTJ, then it never happened. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world [S] 17 points 2 years ago (2 children) I agree.

Like all the other "humor" scenes he started injecting. Jabba's way too small. And there's no way in hell he'd let him just stomp on his tail like that. And...sigh. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world [S] 3 points 2 years ago The humor basically had to be added to the scene, otherwise Han would have stepped through Jabba's tail.
