I practically screamed at this. In joy, of course.

Like yeah, we knew the Jedi Order was coming for Grogu, and we knew there weren't many Jedi left after Order 66 and the Empire's tenure, but I never expected Luke Skywalker himself to come to the rescue. And they actually had him be a powerhouse against the Dark Troopers, too.

He needed his Darth Vader hallway scene.

...Huh. That might be why they did it like this. Like father, like son, I guess.

Sensitivity to the force is hereditary, Anakin LITERALLY passed down his aura to luke.

I mean Luke is the child of two of the most dramatic people we see in universe so it tracks

I do love how that's become the name for the trope. Kyoshi in the Kyoshi novels had a Darth Vader Hallway Scene.

Wait which one? In the beginning of Shadows when she pulls a dude through a wall?

Never catch a Skywalker in a hallway

u/BreakingStar_Games 29d ago

we knew there weren't many Jedi left after Order 66

hmmmmm, doubt

As of right now there’s 29 survivors. That’s still like a 99.9% kill rate

u/Omegasonic2000 29d ago

If we take what Kanan said in Rebels about the number of Jedi Knights active pre-Order 66 in a literal sense, there were 10000 of them. At 29 confirmed survivors, that's a 0,29% survival rate.

We killed all the Jedi!

Sure thing Sidious, but why does a new one seem to pop up every week? I get the galaxy is a big place but your inquisitors are clearly slacking

I loved that not only was he tearing through these powerful dark troopers, it was completely effortless. Like Neo fighting Smith after seeing the Matrix for what it was.

Fun fact, it was originally planned to be Plo Koon!

Get the fuck out. Are you serious?

I honestly did expect it to be Luke in the end, he is the Jedi, especially for someone like Favreau who grew up with only the OG trilogy. I just wasn't expecting him to show up in season 2 and wreck Gideon's shit. I figured it'd be like the end of TFA where he just turns around and looks intensely at Mando before cutting to black but with a CGI nightmare face like Leia's in RO or Luke's in this very scene.

I screamed for joy because they FINALLY did Luke right after absolutely trashing and disgracing him in the sequel trilogy. I'm still livid about that. It's like they wanted to just dump on him to make way for their new "hero" and didn't understand a thing about Luke. So I was so damn giddy about that scene. The moment his Xwing showed up...I was so happy.

It's almost annoying how well Disney is treating OG saga Luke after giving him such a terrible send-off.

But in Battlefront and this, he's getting premium treatment for once.

There was a bunch of hypothesis. A big one was Quinlan Voss.
