I assumed that particular kid knew because he's Force Sensitive and "felt" it.

That's a good possible explanation. I assumed it was simply weeks or months later, after whispers spread about the last stand of the resistance and Luke's role.

I think it's pretty safe to say that Leia knows.
As does Ray, and probably Kylo.

Though how much stock would most folk put in Leia have in telling the galaxy Luke died, sight-unseen through the Force which she isn't even supposed to know much about? Particularly just having recovered from a vacuum near-death in space an hour beforehand at an elderly age? I think most people would think she's full of sh**, and this mystery about "Luke is still out there, somewhere!" would continue.

That's the beauty of these movies, the force can pretty much be anything you want it to be.

Yeah, because if there's one thing Lucas had it was an ironclad story Bible that he adhered to religiously.

And who even cares who shot first. That stuff is so boring and geek bait. If his finger hit the trigger 5 milliseconds before or during when Greedo hit his, who cares? He was still gonna do it.

Is there anything in this conversation that is not geek bait?
What is boring to you, was to me a character defining moment that was changed because the guy who made it decided there was a car coming and got a do over. But fair is fair, there are a whole bunch of really boring conversation surrounding the newer movies as well.

I guess we'll find out won't we.
Personally? I think that was always going to be the case anyways. The original trilogy was lightning in a bottle. I don't think anything will ever top their greatness, but then again I say that as someone who could not have been less impressed with the prequels. I saw each of them opening night, and I haven't seen them since. I think it's okay if the current Trilogy of movies doesn't reach the same height as the previous 6.... Which again in my estimation is still debatable because I didn't like the prequels. The nature of media is completely different now, and I don't see the rapidly changing face of media entertainment slowing down anytime soon.

Star Wars could've continued to be "an event" if Disney had wanted and make as much money from the franchise as they wanted. Instead they went the route of milking it. Sure Lucas also milked it but not in movie form, only to the fans through comics/books/figures, here we're getting at least one movie a year if not more and people will get tired of it eventually. Short Term vs Long Term money and Disney went for Short.
I think a lot of the backlash in TLJ is people realizing this and they're getting off their Star Wars high and being a bit more selective. The flaws of Disney Star Wars are becoming more apparent and being bombarded by more and more movies isn't feeling right for a lot of people. The movie Solo will likely do a lot more damage to the character of Han than Greedo shooting first ever did. I was a little kid when the Special Editions came out, I had actually accidentally discovered Star Wars only a bout a year before and to me they were awesome. I loved all the changes, now as an adult I can see some of the annoying changes but in the end there's a reason Disney hasn't sold the unaltered versions on BR yet, the majority of the people don't care, only whiny fans. The prequel trilogy as criticized as it was, was always an "event". |

especially since after 30 years of 'winning the war', People like Rey STILL thought he was a freakin' myth. how can a SLAVE KID with no media access know what just went on, from our POV, no more than 10 minutes ago? just crap writing. Quote:
as far as 'consistant' I'd arrgue some of that point. 'your father wanted you to have it when you where old enough...' comes to mind. but lines like that would have trapped them later. WARNING, Contains language. But THIS lady gets it. why don't so many others? Last edited by Vegita-San; 01-24-2018 at 07:41 AM. |

I sense a lot of things, but the main one is that interacting with you is clearly a waste of my time, because you never respond with any depth to any challenge to your statements, unless "nuh-uh, you're wrong" is considered debate or discussion these days and not grade school fare. You only really respond with things on the level of "YUP" to anyone who agrees with you, because you're clearly great at articulating your own arguments, and can clearly stand opposing opinions so well you have to make up the idea that a Disney employee would come to a Ninja Turtles forum to defend a movie that's made over a billion dollars rather than someone just enjoys the movie, because I guess that's a bridge too far for you.
Andrew's been good enough to at least discuss things with me in threads, even if we disagree. Quote:

You have a lot of midichlorians, it doesn't mean you're guaranteed to be Force sensitive, it means you have a higher likelihood of turning out to be Force sensitive over someone with less. I don't see it as a big deal and it didn't change a thing from the OT. Yoda wasn't talking about screening Padawans when he was telling Luke about the Force. Quote:
