I look forward to seeing it again though, and now with extra information about what is going to happen. I can also see people being more negative towards it, as a lot of what it built up was torn down.

I haven’t watched TFA since TLJ. I’m almost afraid to. Rians done away with so much from it.

I can’t make peace with Luke just throwin the saber over his shoulder.

It’s literally pissing all over the most awesome scene in TFA.

It does change that scene dramatically. Probably my favorite scene from TFA.

They could have done anything else and made the same point but a dramatic moment rather than play it for comedy.

The biggest misstep in the entire film for me. It was literally a fuck you to JJ and the entire audience.

And a message that this literally isn’t going to go the way you think.

Would have been infinitely more impactiful had they played it seriously rather than comedically.

Though one might consider the fact he left a map with R2 so he could also be found if need be...

That is a disconnect of sorts.

Does Luke seem like he’s in a fuckin funny headspace to you??

It contradicts especially where the character is at.

It was an FU from Johnson simple as that

Oh yeah. That's interesting. Remind me, do we know that Luke definitely gave R2 that piece of the map?

He seemed to be in a very "funny" or odd head space if you're asking me. Yoda-on-Dagobah like. What use did he have for a lightsaber? It was worthless to him.

We think it's funny. I don't think Luke or Rey think it's funny. It perfectly jibes with Luke's head space. He even calls the thing a "laser sword" for crying out loud. And he uses the term so sarcastically. I think it makes all the sense in the world.
