Star Wars: Episode VIII: The Last Jedi

[dimejinky99]

He has to talk to at least one of them. And I'd feel it a missed opportunity if we don't see him talking to at least one of them.

Dime should i read Aftermath? is it good? its two books?

[epilogue]

My hope all along was that the title indicated plural, and I think a neat twist would be that there's more than the obvious two (Luke, Rey) Jedi remaining for this film and the next.

Well, there would kinda have to be wouldn't there? Luke was training other people to be Jedi. I don't remember it being mentioned that Kylo Solo killed all the other trainees a la Grandpa Vader.

This is where shit gets tricky and technical, though. Just because one is a Force user does not make them a Jedi. The Jedi are a religious order. There are many steps one must got through, including being fully trained by a certified Jedi, to become a Jedi.

We don't know what Luke was up to for the last 30 years. Maybe he fully trained some students in that time and there are a few/several/many Jedi out there. Or it's possible he never fully trained anyone. Kylo Ren (Ben Solo) as far we know never became a Jedi. So Luke could well be the last true Jedi left.

The more I think about it, the more the title makes sense as singular. Seems to me if it was meant to be plural they would have called it Last of the Jedi or something like that. Calling it The Last Jedi is a blatant reference to Luke Skywalker. The movie is basically called Star Wars: Luke Skywalker.

It'll be interesting to see if Luke successfully trains Rey before he dies. If he dies.

so in this galaxy, online dating profiles would say "force user, but not religious"?

You're a goddamn national treasure.

It's a trilogy. The third one either just came out is about to come out in a few.

Dime should i read Aftermath? is it good? its two books?

I'd say no. They're difficult and so weirdly put together and really are kind of a chore.
There is one thing goin for them which is why everyone is staying with them for the new one and final one out this week which is it sets up this mystery of the emperor havin some secret facility on jakku and the final one explaining what that is and why the empires fleet final stand was above jakku.

I've tried with the first two and didn't finish either. There's far better books in the new canon though perhaps none as closely tied into the mystery and questions 7 left us with.

I'd say no but others might say yes.

Just about to finish the 2nd of the Aftermath books. It's been alright so far. Nothing terribly amazing, but alright

Palpatine has an epic light saber fight late in the 5th season that is just glorious.

I love it. Like you, I wasn't a fan of the animation at first. But it really grew on me. As the show progresses, it gets better. It's leaps and bounds better than the prequel trilogy. And I really love the show now. It's one of my very favorite Star Wars things. But I understand being reluctant. I also understand not liking it because of the animation and/or because it's not the films.

[dimejinky99]

This is not peer pressure. But everyone you know in this thread will freely admit they were dismissive of the idea of watching a Star Wars animated series. Then when they watched it, they were engrossed and huge fans by even halfway.

I'd say you're missing out by not watching them. Especially if you're into backstory and filling out canon.

Also, because by not watching them, you're denying yourself Ahsoka Tano.

So much this

[dimejinky99]

Gotta agree. Ahsokas arc is one of the best developments in all Star Wars.

And really, really helps flesh out Anakin's turn to the Dark Side.

[stip]

Confirmed to be plural.
