Question for TLJ haters re Luke:

No one is complaining about him being in the island.

Him being a little bitch and molesting sea cows is the problem

Yoda was hiding from death. Obi-Wan was keeping an eye on Luke. Luke is just bitching out.

You or Scoob need to change your fricking name. I vote you. Change it to Scoobitch.

How do you not see a difference???

1) Yoda and Obi-Wan weren't hiding to be cowards.

2) Yoda and Obi-Wan didn't create Vader and then say "Well, good luck, galaxy!"

3) Yoda and Obi-Wan at least had the decency to hide out on shithole planets, not at Shangri-fricking-La.

4) The Emperor and Vader were badasses, not some teen emo brat and an old dipshit that falls for the old "Let me flip on the lightsaber and cut you in half" trick.

5) Luke was only about 60...what's with this "waiting to die" bullshite?

6) By hiding out on that planet, he brought about a massacre on those penguin things when Chewbacca came to find him. Thanks, Gandhi Skywalker.

7) Yoda and Obi-Wan were broke and couldn't afford ships to fight anyway. Luke has his X-Wing ready to go.

8) Yoda and Obi-Wan were contemplating in solitude, not raping sea chickens for their milk. That's just fricked up.

I'll be happy to share more reasons why the situation is different as they occur to me.

Obi Wan and Yoda disappeared because the Empire was coming out on top with Vader and Palpatine at the helm, and because there was a new hope that had to safely grow.

Luke disappeared because there might have been a chance that maybe Kylo was being tempted by the Dark Side, the source of which is completely unknown to us all because it was cut in half in the middle of the movie.

At the end of TFA, we believe there is a good reason for Luke being hidden on that island, and that he is still committed to being a Jedi considering he still dresses like one. But that turns out to not be the case at all, and his reason for hiding seems to have been pretty easily avoidable, all things considered.

He must've just had to do laundry and his only option was his old Jedi garb. That's the only explanation TLJ offers.

Why is Luke being on the island when Kylo is out there wrecking stuff inconsistent with Yoda and Kenobi laying low when Vader was out there?

Wait? Obi didn't return from exile and meet Vader mano e mano? Face to face? Laser sword to laser sword? When did that change?

WTF? Did Disney edit out that part, too?


Dammit Rian, you are an SOB!!

Well...let's see:

At the end of Revenge of the Sith, instead of retreating to the hills, Yoda and Obi-Wan confronted the evil they had both had a hand in creating. They fought bravely and were forced into retreat when the Emperor came out on top.

But instead of just giving up altogether like Luke did before the events of TFA, Obi-Wan and Yoda hatched a plan together. They realized the offspring of Anakin Skywalker were practically demigods as their grandfather was the Force itself. So they agreed to put them into hiding until they were both old enough to fight the Empire. Special emphasis was placed on Luke, the male heir, as Obi-Wan agreed to go to Tatooine to watch over him until he was old enough to train.

Yoda retreated to Dagobah where the Emperor could not sense his presence. There he would stay until the time was right to come out of hiding and launch an offensive against the Sith and the Empire.

See the difference? Neither Obi-Wan or Yoda had any intention of staying hidden until death took them away in their sleep. They planned to continue the fight but opted for the long game to do it. They didn't abandon the galaxy. If they had, Obi-Wan never would have agreed to go to Alderaan when Luke came to him with the message from Leia.

Oh sheet.

It’s happening....folks are going on blind downvote rampagings for those who don’t worship the TLJ story line.

He really didn’t. He had a friend hold a piece of the omitted and editedmap to where he ended up going, correctly assuming they would figure out his plan.

So how do you explain the finished part of the map ending up in the memory banks of R2-D2, Luke Skywalker's droid? R2 had been asleep ever since Luke left for Ahch-To. So it's not like anyone else put it there.
