Yeah it’s been proven over and over how bad KK is

Hence them backpeddling and disregarding TLJ completely.

Obi-Wan died in the first film. Was a fairly major plot point.

wasnt a main character at the time tho

As usual you miss the entire point

Shocked I tell you

That wasn’t his point; he didn’t want to kill Yoda either and he was less of a main character. His quote specifically said ‘you don’t kill people’ but is inconsistent with his actions.

Given Kasdan wrote ESB, I’d accede to his wisdom in scriptwriting points.

Like Lucas, I’m not sure you know what your own point is. Luke is a secondary character in the new trilogy, if Rey, Poe and Finn are standing at the end, it’s consistent with delivering an uplifting conclusion for its main characters.

Well, personally, I dislike Star Wars entirely for being too soft. The bad guys are like keystone cops. Major plot points have to all happy smiling faces holding hands walking into the sunset. Why I look forward to The Mandalorian being more adult (finally).
Still, it's hard to fault Lucas given he's created, written, directed a TON of iconic movies. Kasdan has done a couple of things.

Wrote the script for George's story.

Given nobody died, I would assume they worked on the same page.

Luke is a major character in Star Wars. People didn't go to see them, they were hanging out for Luke and Han and Leia. Now two are dead and the other one for real.

But the new characters are so interesting hence the lack of Nostalgia and appearance of the original characters....wait a min

Kasdan should've done what he wanted in TFA and kill at least or all of the new main characters like he philosophically believed back in the 70s.

Finn was a good concept that was ruined from the get go and should have died at the end of TFA to add emotional weight to the journey and add a bit of fear to Kylo.

Rey is boring.

Poe is cool as we have never had a great pilot across three movies before. Luke and Anakin was always called great pilots but Luke only flew for in two battles and Anakin in one (I am not counting Phantom Menace).

Inb4 Poe does no piloting in TROS.

Can’t blame everyone else for an audience’s unrealistic expectations. This was a third trilogy, coming after two others that each followed different major characters, and came at a time when the original actors were in their 60s and 70s.

I'm fine with killing Luke off and the way it was done.

Leia should have died earlier in the movie when her ship got shot by Kylo.

Think they were just looking to space it out at one a movie. It made sense to kill off Luke in film two as he could always reappear as a Force ghost whereas Leia cannot. Obviously they didn’t bank on Fisher carking it.

If they knew Carrie was going to die, they would have removed the Holdo character entirely and had Leia do the suicide ram into Snoke's ship.

Everything about that stupid part of the story would have been better if Holdo was written out for Leia.

Luke dying is in the great Jedi Master tradition, like Obi-Wan and Yoda before him. He'll have the same sort of supporting role in Ep IX as a force ghost.

It wasn't an unrealistic expectation at all considering Harrison, Mark, and Carrie all had top billing for TFA and rolled out for plenty of media.

Expectations were based on the marketing.

Can't believe I never found this thread.

Just to brag I've got a full set of original Kenner action figures including Blue Snaggletooth and Yak Face. I have a bootleg vinyl caped Jawa but as a display piece but no-one can tell the difference.

As I said in the R1 thread or somewhere....

His name should be Luke Lars, not Luke Skywalker. As Leia's name was Leia Organa. To hide the children from the father and others. Then it makes zero sense that Luke would go by the name of Luke Skywalker. He would've been raised from birth by the Lars family, so would've/should've always been referred to and known everywhere on his planet, as Luke Lars.

Yes. Some things don't really stand up to close scrutiny. Vader's son is being hidden from Vader. Using his real name, living with Vader's step-family, on Vader's home planet. And he goes undetected fro twenty years. I know the phrase 'hiding in plain sight', but seriously ...

My favourite scene from the OT: an odd choice perhaps. When they are departing the Death Star, and the Falcon backs up, turns around and flies away. Don't really know why, but I've always loved that bit.
