Luke Skywalker’s death in Star Wars: The Last Jedi
The Last Jedi is the third installment of the Star Wars saga. While the previous films dealt with the lives of the three main characters, Episode VIII focuses on the death of Luke Skywalker. Kathleen Kennedy revealed to Vanity Fair that each member of the holy trinity was to receive their own send off. She explained that the film was a result of her personal feelings. Despite these feelings, however, the film has many positive aspects.
First, Luke’s death is symbolic. His death is a reminder of the hope he instilled into the rebels, and his choice to pass into the Force is a symbolic one. In the end, the force is with him. It is the culmination of his journey, and his death reflects that. In this way, Star Wars has become a foil wrapper for Disney’s agenda.
Mark Hamill’s response to critic’s interpretation of his death
For more than 40 years, Mark Hamill has been the voice of the beloved character of Luke Skywalker. For decades, he has provided fans with a variety of opinions and thoughtful answers regarding his sexuality and the tragic backstory of Luke Skywalker. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, the actor offered an alternate perspective on how the character died and the role’s future should be defined.
While “The Last Jedi” is still one of the most beloved Star Wars films, the movie has spawned an array of fandoms and opinions. Some of the backlash focused on the film’s too-progressive interpretation of Luke’s death. Other criticism focused on the film’s portrayal of women, including the infamous “Rogue One” character.
Kylo Ren’s involvement in the First Order
In Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Kylo Ren appears as a high-ranking member of the First Order. The First Order is a shadowy group that has emerged from the ashes of the Galactic Empire. Kylo Ren first appears in the film, killing an old priest named Lor San Tekka. Later, he captures Resistance pilot Poe Dameron, who entrusted the robotic droid BB-8 with the coordinates of the late Luke Skywalker. Ren then escapes with Finn and the scavenger Rey.
Although Kylo Ren is not mentioned in Star Wars Rebels, his involvement in the First Order is revealed in a cryptic reference in a novelization of the novelization of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The reference offers insight into the First Order, as well as confirming Ben Solo’s transformation. However, we still have no idea what the name of this mysterious figure means, but fans have been spreading his savage reputation.
Obi-Wan Kenobi’s influence on Luke Skywalker
The story of the first film in the Skywalker saga, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, shows that Luke Skywalker is deeply influenced by Obi-Wan Kenobi, the former Jedi Master. While Luke and his friends are enamored with Yoda, Obi-Wan is more of a mentor to Luke, who often finds him sarcastic and a good friend. Despite this, Luke’s love for Ben Kenobi is based on a wide variety of factors, including his smile and modest clothing choices.
In the first film, Obi-Wan barely disguised his own surname, Luke was raised by the Lars family. His father, Breha Organa, and his stepmother, Bail Organa, were also Jedi. As a result, Luke was named after Obi-Wan, and Leia was named after the benevolent Breha Organa.
