Bump.

Better writing than what they did in TLJ at least.

Hamill himself puts his first comment in context. His last word on The Last Jedi (ET interview from March 23, 2018):

Hamill: "I regret saying that ['Jake Skywalker' comment] out loud; I said it before I saw the whole movie put together."

Amazing that he already was so openly critical. Usually when actors comment on a movie or its director shortly after release they suck up all the time about what an amazing and unique experience it was, and maybe many years later one or two of them will reveal their true thoughts about it.

Reveal that Jake Skywalker died during TLJ by becoming one with the force. He was a clone!

The Skywalker saga will never heal from TLJ

He didn't hate TLJ, but he didn't like how Luke was handled regardless.

Fan-fiction has had interesting ideas, but there is no "Jake"... that's the "Joke" Hamill learned you can't tell a fan.

...I know it's a joke. I know there isn't a Jake. I was making a joke. Tf?

You just got flexed on hard, bruh.

Autocorrect typo or did i miss a whole character?

Mark Hamill said he wanted to play a good-versus-evil Luke in TLJ because his [irl] son told him that is what happened to Luke in the EU, which Hamill said he doesn't follow. He told Johnson this, asking if TLJ would have anything like it. Johnson told Hamill TLJ would only be using old [established] SW themes with new story ideas.

Johnson said TLJ used new story ideas? The reclusive jedi master did not want to train a new apprentice, citing a fear that they'll turn to the dark side. The jedi master relents and gives a couple of lessons that are cut short when the apprentice receives information through the force that their friends are in danger. The force ghost that appeared to the master and to say their gut reaction was wrong. It's not old themes with new story ideas when you're directly copying the majority of another film with a few resequencing.

Luke used a new never before seen power but that's enough to count as a new story idea. The idea that force sensitivity could come from anywhere is a new story idea but he just suggested it; he didn't do anything with it.

But you're forgetting the actual conflict.

This was the first Star Wars movie about the spaceship running out of gas.

Make a Snake Skywalker. Then when he dies, someone says "Snake? Snake?! Snaaaaaaaaaake!"

In my point of view, I flexed on him!

Luke used a new never before seen power but that's enough to count as a new story idea.

IIRC, that was from Dark Empire (EU).

So he had zero new ideas.

This was the first Star Wars movie about the spaceship running out of gas.

Remember in TESB when Vader said, "This creepy dude is using me," killed Palpatine, and teamed-up with Luke?

Or when Yoda was pulling Luke's chain (no horny) and burnt down his own hut when Luke tried to go back inside?

And who can forget rebels destroying an Imperial raid dreadnought in orbit so their transports could escape? lol ;P

Anyone remember the episode of South Park when Timmy time traveled? The two nerds who accomplished it then argued about how many original episodes of Star Trek there wereI think the numbers were 72 and 71. But the really funny thing in the episode is nerd-A says 71 and 72 at different points in the episode, and nerd-B says 71 and 72 at different points in the episode. The amusing part is that theyre so obsessively inconsistent, they change their original stance to the opposite and dont even notice.

he actually overthrows the emperor

You can say that again

It's a mashup of the ESB & ROTJ lightsaber fights.

Literally a faster paced better graphics version of this

Remove that scene and what changes?

In my point of view, I flexed on him!

Except Palpatine's royal guards never fought in the duel against Luke in either fight. "Alone" is not a team effort.

A squadron attacking a Death Star is not a fleet escaping a raid. Those are two completely different things.

Remove Luke's vision of Cloud City from TESB, too. Luke doesn't leave Dagobah, but nothing changes, right?

We're talking clones of Luke and not one of you people brings up Luuke? Shame on all of you.

... except your take is from your own fan-theory and mine is *directly* from irl Mark Hamill. ;P
.

IIRC, that was from Dark Empire (EU).

It does set up the next movie to be very different with Kylo in charge so that's something but then we saw where that lead.

That was a similarity I hadn't thought of before but I swear the longer you compare the trilogies the more repeated scenes you find.

Now if you're talking about the texts as a plot device keeping Luke anchored to inaction, yeah that's a big similarity with ESB that I already mentioned. Reclusive jedi master doesn't want to get involved, but a force ghost convinces them to act.

Space battles tend to be similar. The moments that make them stand out are not when the units fight against each other as groups; it's when one member of a unit makes a critical strike or sacrifice that allows their side to "turn the tide" of the fighting in their favor..

Luke used those old books as an excuse to "try to get everything right, someday" instead of trying to get the one thing right that everyone not FO needed "today."

"Time, it is... hmm, for you to look past a pile of old books, hmm?" - Yoda [ "Much of a reader, I never was..." ]
