First they say Luke would be the big baddie. They were wrong.
Now they want Luke to die.
Please go away.
I am glad Han died.

Put me in the camp that wants to throw green paint on Luke and give him a stroke.
You know the only part of Rey's power I'm not a fan of us her knowing how to Jedi mind trick. Unless it was a story she heard of Jedi doing... I think it's kinda dumb she knew it was possible. Same with the force pull to a lesser extent.
Think they should have made her discovering her powers hinted at and more gradual.
After seeing how much she fantasized about the Resistance complete with pilot voodoo doll and memorabilia, and how she heard of the Jedi, I think we're supposed to assume that combined with what she saw with Kylo Ren she did the Jedi Mindtrick.
Jesus.
Reys progression was unearned. Jedi started as toddlers and become Masters when their 30s? Rey went from "what the fuck is the force?" to Jedi Knight in mere hours.
Now if you say shes special and shes just easily influenced by the Force its still unearned and robs Rey of any kind of victory or accomplishment.
This is how it goes in the script:
HOLD ON LUKE SKYWALKER'S INCREDIBLE FACE
The single most important piece of Force training you can get is the simple awareness that you are Force-sensitive.
I want Luke and Rey to be straight up wrecking the Knights of Ren on their way to fight Snoke.
The only reason the Jedi want to get to them when they are younger is so they themselves can mold them. Get them before they form attachments and teach them THEIR view of the force.
And Poe.Here's what I want from episode 8 and 9:
More Finn
That is all.
And Finn.

Has there been any word about an eventual director's cut on BR?
Has there been any word about an eventual director's cut on BR? I can't help but think that there are back story moments of Rey that will make her "sudden moments of power" seem more reasonable. Has JJ Abrams ever mentioned having to cut down his release for theater distribution?
The only reason the Jedi want to get to them when they are younger is so they themselves can mold them. Get them before they form attachments and teach them THEIR view of the force. While it's ultimately good for people like Anakin and even Luke it fails.
It would have been a much more interesting movie if Lucas had incorperated that into the the prequels more.

It's all there already if you want to read into it; people just often refuse to analyze the prequels' subtexts with any depth because they'd rather complain about how badly written the script is, how the poor directing choices led to an overabundance of bad CGI and phoned-in acting from most of the cast, and midichlorians/lightsaber fights.
It would have been a much more interesting movie if Lucas had incorperated that into the the prequels more. That the reason Anakin was the instrument to salvation to the force would have been not because he was tricked by Palpatine, but because the Jedi Order had become stagnant and corrupt without intentional malice. It was a more subtle kind of evil, where they start from a good perspective "Don't let attachments control you" and have moved to the other extreme wherein the order dehumanized it's Jedi by forbidding basic social functions. Anakin being seduced by the dark side could have been him being driven insane by his desire to have simple normal relations. As a result, his fall to the dark side wouldn't have been his inability to save his wife from death by childbirth (a very silly concern in the technological wonderland that SW exists in) but his being cast as a social pariah by the Jedi order for having the audacity to have a normal human relationship.
There are some hinks with the idea that would ahve to be worked out, like the fact that this cast Yoda and Obiwan in a bad light, but honestly, there is no need to idolize Yoda to being the master of all things good. Even he could be blind to problems inherent in a system that he is a part of for so long. Still, I like it as an idea, because it places Vader in the both sympathetic and damning position of being both the hero and the villain. There's no way anyone wouldn't sympathize with a person fights back against the system for basic human relations, but also no way that anyone could fully support destruction of so many people.
Is that scene highlighted anywhere?It's also there in the Clone Wars. There's actually a very interesting speech which one Jedi gives in the latter parts of the Clone Wars about how the Jedi are essentially villains in the conflict.
Agreed, on top of him seeing his father's lightsaber again. That probably made him quite emotional as well.
I said this earlier in the thread, but my BIGGEST issue with Sith was how Anakin "turned". He goes to tell Windu that Palpatine is the Sith lord. He fears Windu will kill Palpatine. So far I'm still rolling with it.
Anakin then literally cuts off Windu's hand. Palpatine then kills Windu. Afterwards Anakin literally feels regret and remorse for what he just did. "What have I done?".
Not a minute later he's bowing on his knees accepting the name Darth Vader.
"The Jedi have betrayed the republic"=Palpatine.
"I agree master"-Anakin
Like WTF!?

I remember seeing that and just getting a headache at how stupid it was. It wasn't even like a trick to get Windu to trust him. He was genuine.I said this earlier in the thread, but my BIGGEST issue with Sith was how Anakin "turned". He goes to tell Windu that Palpatine is the Sith lord. He fears Windu will kill Palpatine.

Luke better not die. As already stated, we've had our token death with Han.
I was expecting something a bit more, substantial. Maybe it has more weight in context.
One of the reasons why Clone Wars is awesome. That show is so good especially the later seasons.
Oh and one thing I really loved in Force Awakens is how force abilities and the lightsaber fights look. Everything has so much weight behind it, there's no floaty, pretty choreography like in the prequels. The scene where Ren stops the blaster shot in midair is just awesome.
So it's not a token death, then.
If it serves the story Johnson's writing to end Luke, then he should end.
Being too precious about fictional characters sucks the life out of the fiction.

I think it has very little to do with people being too precious about fictional characters and has more to do with Luke dying would be boring and predictable
Luke better not die. As already stated, we've had our token death with Han. We now know that no one is off limits, and anyone could die. That's all they needed to build suspense in future films. I want Luke to survive and fuck shit up. Kylo really going to be the guy that wipes out the entire cast of the first films? He's that legit? If Vader couldn't do it, please don't have Kylo be the one that does.
I would love to see a true Jedi/Padewan relationship between Luke/Rey

How? It seems more to me like people are reacting negatively to the idea because it hadn't occurred to them it could happen in the next two movies.
They're being precious about Luke dying because he's Luke Skywalker. There's nothing that says he can't earn his death (however that death might come) in the next two movies worth of story.
Again, it's boring and predictable. The main character dying some noble death is a trope that's been done to death at this point in Star Wars.
