Guys, I got chills down my spine seeing Luke. Honestly i didnt know what kind of luke we would see. His beautiful flowing hair!
I do hope he is a central figure in the next movie.
That scene was diluted for me or maybe concentrated cos it was Ireland.
So very obviously Ireland

I figured he would but it doesn't need to be a surprise to be impactful.

Exactly. Knowing it's coming doesn't soften the blow at all.

And I love that his son killed him as a way to try and end his own internal conflict. A complete inversion of the luke/vader story.

I hope the next movie starts years after this actually. I'd like to get a sense for a long epic tale.

yea that was cool. I figured he wasn't actually going to not kill him but driver did do an excellent job conveying the brief struggle he had with it.stip wrote:And I love that his son killed him as a way to try and end his own internal conflict. A complete inversion of the luke/vader story.

It wasn't really Han that died anyway - just a shittily written imitation of him. That death had no weight at all.

Exactly. He does it as his ticket to full on dark side but I don't think his guilt for doing it is gonna help his journey. It's gonna work against him down the line

How much time theoretically passes between Yavin IV and Hoth?

Did you not watch the OT as a kid? Do you not see the love between him and Chewie? The conflicted pain from Ren? How does Han's death have no weight?LoathedVermin72 wrote:It wasn't really Han that died anyway - just a shittily written imitation of him. That death had no weight at all.

I do think it could have been more impactful if it happened next movie with some developed story and struggle between the two but I still think it was a great end to Han Solo.LoathedVermin72 wrote:It wasn't really Han that died anyway - just a shittily written imitation of him.

I'd really like to know if there's any story or character you do really love and have investment in that has a similar arc
