Another quick post...

[elisi]

First of all a most excellent post:

maia: When Moral Luck Runs Out: Some Thoughts on Luke Skywalker

Tor: The Evolution of Religious Iconography in Star Wars
(This is fascinating, especially the info about a cut scene in TLJ.)

And here you will find a truly beautiful picture of the little boy at the end. (The Tweet above is also worth reading...)

Video about the RL setting for Ahch-To
(Although the narrator is... odd.)

Vanity Fair: Mark Hamill Regrets Doubting Rian Johnson, Anoints The Last Jedi “an All-Time Great"

Those gorgeous red posters from TLJ, uncopped and without text
(I am currently using one as my wallpaper!)

The Knights of Ren
(V interesting background info. I'm thinking this is where Luke's other pupils went, the ones that followed Kylo.)

OMG those uncropped beautiful posters! Downloading ALL OF THEM! <3 thanks for sharing that link!

Yeah, I can't stop looking at them...

Really loved the 'moral luck' analysis. I feel for Mark Hamill, he was within his rights to express doubts but I'm glad that the final product won him round because it's a great film.

I'm v v pleased maia watched it, the more people I have to talk to, the better!

And it's not an easy arc, that's for sure. But damn, it's powerful. I'm glad he came to appreciate it.

Oooh that reminds me.

Did you see this thread by Rian Johnson?

[sea_thoughts]

I just let out an audible "OHHHHHH" when I read that thread. Not that I had any issue with the astral projection in the first place. But as someone who loves to pull out the books and cite canon, I absolutely appreciate seeing someone else do it. XD

As someone says downthread, people have been yelling about it for a month, and now he just quietly steps out & shows his receipts...

Amazing XD

[elisi]

Of course, preceded by Hux's incredibly sarcastic "Do you think you got him?"

SUCH AN AMAZING SCENE!!!

[sea_thoughts]

That line got so many laughs at my first screening.

Hux is the master of understatement. <3
