Hot Toys The Last Jedi Luke Skywalker 1/6 Figure

[pixletwin]

Quite possibly the dumbest post I've ever read. Characters changing is literally the focus of countless movies. Hell, have you never heard of Han Solo or Darth Vader?

Luke failed. He lost Ben Solo. He failed his promise to Leia, the person he loves most.

Unlike all the Jedis in the prequels, Luke started his training very late and (almost) alone. He's a Skywalker, very impulsive by nature. So you get a loner Jedi who tried his best to rebuild the Jedi Order all by himself and he just didn't make it.

Loner impulsive guy + double failure = intense remorse/guilt

That's Luke right there. The same Luke Yoda didn't want to train in ESB. He didn't change a bit.

Almost feel the need to purchase this figure. Commission a hand with middle finger proudly raised.....

I swear, its like the 50% who didn't like this movie all of a sudden completely forgot everything they knew over the past 40 years about SW. Yoda was 100% right about Luke this entire time and no one listened to him. Not even the fans.

Wrong. People do not change. Only their personality traits gets sharper. So old Luke should be anything but grumpy idiot who doesn’t care anymore.

It made sense to me that Luke wasn't the exact same Luke that we last saw in RotJ. At his core he was because he still ended up being the hero of the film. However, at the end of RotJ, he was still essentially a rookie; a newly christened Jedi who still had a lot to learn about the Jedi and the Force on his own as he went along. Luke himself in TLJ essentially said he thought that he was invincible (typical rookie mistake) after defeating Vader, and thought that he had conquered and eradicated all evil. After delving deeper into the Force, he realized that being a Jedi wasn't all what he thought it was going to be, that it wasn't going to be everyone just sitting around a campfire singing kumbaya with sunshine and rainbows and unicorns. He realized the true nature of the Dark Side, that the Force had an ugly side to it if you dug too deep, and that ugly side that he thought he had conquered those years ago had gotten a hold of his family once again and even worse, his sister's son whom she entrusted with Luke. Not only did Luke feel like he failed Ben, he felt like he failed his family and the entire Jedi ranks that preceded him, since rebuilding the Jedi was up to him and he failed.

Luke Skywalker would never attempt to murder his nephew in his sleep because he sensed a glimmer of darkness. Nor would he mail it in with a hologram knowing Leia's life was in danger. Absolute bantha poodoo.

This figure is now a mythos figure, and a pretty cool one.

I'll wait till summer to see if Hot toys reveal another version of Luke, if not, I will go with this one, I suppose...

A) Luke said he felt deep shame just thinking about the option of killing Ben.
B) He was stuck on an island. Rey left him there after a solid argument.

Wrong, he had an X wing. Pay attention.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Wrong, he had an X wing. Pay attention.

He used one of the wings to make doors for his shack. It's not functioning.

"Pay attention"

Oh the irony.

I'm sure Luke's pilot mechanical know how combined with his force abilities could have easily got it running. I mean his sister can fly with no ship at all so....

So you're writing your own script for it now?

Did it work? Yes or no.
