the top panel is from a good movie, written by a guy who’s life’s work was being made
the bottom panel was from a movie made by a giant mega-corporation that hates men
Did we watch the same movie? He didn’t kill him, and didn’t want to kill him. He felt the pain of all the people Ben would kill in the future, and rushed to their defense. And when he realized what defending them would entail, he turned off his saber. He was not willing to kill his own nephew, even to save the lives of many.
This is the dark side of the Force. It tempts you to be reckless, to act on emotion, and to let the ends justify the means. Luke resisted the temptation, this time. If he had been trained more thoroughly in the Jedi way, and learned to suppress his emotions from childhood, he might have caught himself before rushing out of bed armed and ready, and the vision might not have come to pass, but this is a difficult task for a mostly self-trained Force user. And, let’s be honest, he is also the son of the legendarily hot-headed Anakin Skywalker.
I think most people get confused by the different flashback perspectives…
In the scene the pic is from, Luke couldn’t have killed Ben even if he wanted to!
He wasn’t physically there, and would have more reasonably dropped the star destroyer on Ben than stabbed him with a laser sword.
Yes, that too!
A guy enslaves the entire galaxy.
Luke: Theres still good in him.
A guy does nothing, but learns from him.
Luke: Fuck um, he give me the willies!!!
Technically, I mean there was 2-3 decades between those thoughts.
I mean, he almost did kill his father. Yoda was right, Luke is reckless, and this was the trained, more disciplined Luke. He fell right into the Emperor’s trap, and if the Emperor hadn’t been himself blinded in his joy of attacking, he would have realized Vader just got compromised.
He was luke… warm.
Horrifically stupid Disney writing.
Luckily Disney Star Wars is not canonical.
Wasn’t that Charles Barkley?
You might be right, i just had this one on hand
Holup
I really really wish someone competent would reboot the entire thing from the very beginning and do a long-term investment into the story like the slow-burn and complex lead-ins of the early Marvel films between Iron Man and End Game.
Like, write a mature, adult-themed violent arch that covers more complex shit like relationships and political inteigue, like early 5 seasons of Game of Thrones, and also make a completely separate kid-friendly arch that prudes, Mormons and families can enjoy together as well.
you know that meme of a baby holding a gun crying, like he shot his dog?
star wars needs to be that dog
let it die
the story is told
Maybe those three really good blockbusters from the 70s and 80s can just be nothing more than exactly that, and we can stop pulverizing the dead horse into a thin film of gore.
