[BenGrimm]

well played.

So, how long has Luke Skywalker been in exile?

 

[KnoxRealtorVOL]

So, how long has Luke Skywalker been in exile?

Since Return of the Jedi.

What do I win?

 

[gordonr24]

Since Return of the Jedi.

What do I win?

It never was answered how long he was in exile. After Return of the Jedi, he started training Jedi, including Ben Solo and presumably Rey, and was attempting to rebuild the Jedi order. But when Ben turned on Luke, killed other padawans, and became Kylo Ren, Luke disbanded everything and went into exile, due to guilt. How long ago Kylo turned on Luke has not yet been answered.

 

[mdrew27]

We saw it in this movie... Albeit mother:son.

It's kind of a theme in Star Wars. Not really sure what mdrew27 is arguing about.

Aruging Finn isn't a jedi.

 

[NochNoch]

Aruging Finn isn't a jedi.

I don't think anyone in here has said that he is a Jedi, just that it is a possibility, a 50/50 shot some might say, that he could be.

Yeah it was...... joke..... joking....... nevermind.

I don't even know that it deserves that. While the dogfighting was cool, I was highly unimpressed with the the space creatures in the freighter and Snoke.

You and the others complaining about him looking to cgi realize he was completely holographic right? I'm expecting a bit more realism in the next ones.

I loved the movie. The score is the only thing I could possibly complain about. It just wasn't up to normal Star Wars standards. Ken is an angsty, hate and rage filled young adult and he played his part perfectly. He's not the villain, Snoke will be, at least that's my take.

 

[BenGrimm]

Aruging Finn isn't a jedi.

Why so adamant?

The marketing lead us to believe he would be the young force wielder of this generation. The movie obviously threw a curve ball with Rey.

The other speculation is that he is related to one of the only 2 black characters that have played a major role in the movies. One who was a Jedi. One who was not. If they go the family ties route, considering what has been established about the offspring of Jedi, that puts it at right around a 50/50 chance he will be force sensitive.

Throw all that out and it's still 50/50 that the writers do or do not make him force sensitive.

Most likely he is not force strong but I don't get your insistence on it.

 

[G0 BIG 0RANGE]

That doesn't seem to hold true in Princess Leia's case. She doesn't seem very force sensitive even though she's anikan's daughter.

I'm not a fan of the idea of midichlorians, but Leia is tied for the 4th highest count with Luke at 14,500. Behind Anakin, Sidious, and Yoda.

They may be throwing out the idea of midichlorians, but TPM is considered canon, so maybe not.

I'm not sure about the counts of TFA characters.

I stand corrected then.

 

[BigOrange15]

I refuse to acknowledge metastupidians.

So did this movie and they easily could have acknowledged them.

 

[BenGrimm]

So did this movie and they easily could have acknowledged them.

Only TPM mentioned them. I think that's one of those things they want to sweep under the rug.

 

[Volwark]

They were also mentioned in Revenge of the Sith too, during the opera scene.

So, how long has Luke Skywalker been in exile?

Around 10 years. Kylo was around 19 when he turned and is 29~30 in the movie.

 

[Grey_pilgrim]

TFA is making crazy money. Which we knew it would, but it will cross 600 million over the weekend. Just insane.

Your loss.


Honestly, if you didn't fall in love with Star Wars as a kid, you probably never will. Best to just stay away at this point.

I must have blocked that out of my mind.

I'm surprised.
