There seems to be only one Jedi who has ever used this skill in the books or shows. Quinlan Vos. It seemed to be more hereditary than learned though. He does have a very minor appearance in Phantom Menace and extended storylines in The Clone Wars show and several books with he and Ventress hunting down Dooku.
The simplest explanation is that Snoke lied to him and told him Vader was the most powerful Sith ever except he was seduced by the light at the end which was his undoing. Then the evil Sith Lord Vader ceased to exist and only Anakin remained. He was more man than machine. Compassionate and good.
Yeah, it isn't a well used skill and in the canon source (Clone Wars) it is definitely implied to be largely hereditary, so I think this theory will amount to little. In the expanded universe it was more widely used and, I believe, explicitly used by Luke to find where Shmi had been killed on Tatooine or something like that.
Luke was the only witness. Fairly easy to claim he was lying.
Visions are different than what this is showing. Visions usually involve something personal. We see some of that in Rey's vision but we also see a lot of scenes from another POV. That would be more in line with this psychometry where a memory is imprinted on an object and someone with the genetic trait and proper force enhancement can watch it like a recorded video message.
Only caught a couple of episodes. It's decent. Same quality as Clone Wars writing wise so it doesn't go too deep to make sure they don't lose the audience. Still nice material filler for that era.
Isn't an easier explanation that Kylo is a little nuts? He doesn't give the impression of being the most stable person in the galaxy. Plus, he's been corrupted by Snoke for a long time, apparently getting him to go against his basic nature, which seems to keep trying to rise up as the call of the Light-side.
I agree. I was just extrapolating from the other idea thrown out there.
What's the difference between that and posting positive stuff about something you like?
I'm not a Chris Farley fan. Being an obnoxious fat slob does not equal comedy to me. There, that's about all I have to say on the topic. I've made my opinion clear and concise.
This is supposed to be a happy occasion. Lets not bicker and argue about who killed whom...
Why did he offer Rey 60 portions for BB-8 and then 5 seconds later radio someone to just steal it from her?
He may have known her since she was 5 and known she was a pretty tough gal. To him 60 portions is nothing. If he can get it without possibly losing a supplier and risking a henchman, why not try first?
You realize that if Rey had been as whiny and entitled as Luke you'd have hated the movie even more, right?
Took my son to see it in an Imax experience 3d with loungers. Amazing experience. Highly recommend it.
I agree with you on Adam Driver. I can't stand him. Kylo seemed a much better character when he had his helmet on.
I agree with you.
Chalk it up to him being emotionally spent after killing his dad.
I was one at the time.I get that she has zero training, but Luke has a two minute lesson in 4, and a couple of days in 5. It might be jarring, but I don't think it's all that inconsistent compared to the original trilogy.
But, he really didn't if you look back at those instances. Obi Wan had maybe a week with Luke before he died and Luke didn't even really believe in the Force until after Obi Wan's death. He spent maybe a couple of weeks with Yoda before he left to go save his friends (which Yoda warned him not to do, as he wasn't anywhere near ready), and they didn't reunite until his death bed scene in ROTJ.
In 4, Luke had some off-screen training. And there were years between 4 and 5 when Ben continued to train him (explicitly in the EU which I know are no longer cannon, but it can be inferred from the ending of 4).
It was meant to show Luke that he had absolute faith in the force and to paint Vader as the enemy he needs to beat. Plus he already had an idea that the force ghost thing would work. So he became more powerful and motivated Luke to confront Vader.
I'm not sure I understand this. I don't like Adam Driver as an actor. Something about him rubs me the wrong way. Probably because the first thing I saw him in was Girls. I didn't say he didn't do a good job in the Star Wars movie. But I'm never going to be able to think of him as a badass.
Also, if he had continued to fight, Luke would not have tried to escape. He would've come to try and help him and surely gotten killed himself, thus ending the new hope that he represented.
My point is both actors are kind of weiner-looking guys but it doesn't matter because you don't have to look like the Rock to pull off a bad-### role in this movie universe.
While the movie doesn't really answer this for us, the consensus from nerds with more time than I have is that the journey took "several weeks"
My problem with Ren was the flop from being someone with the most outlandish display of the force ever in an opening sequence to not really being very good at all with it in the second half. He was conveniently awesome and terrible when the plot needed him to be. Maybe his bad sabre play was what got him kicked out of Luke's Jedi School
. Like General Hux, I kind of didn't fear him at all in the second half. Now if I were a console, I would have really feared him then. He sure knew how to slice up a console.
And I think what he's saying is that Luke wasn't a bad ###. He was your average teen punk that was cocky, annoying and inexperienced. He played that part well.
It doesn't make any sense for it to have taken weeks. Why would Boba Fett follow them for weeks? He obviously transmits to Vader while in route, so why even let them land anywhere? If they're traveling that slow for that long, you'd just pick them up on deep space somewhere.
