True and sincere fan reactions here. It’s what we all wanted to see out of their Trilogy and we finally got it. The best possible season ending Jon and Dave could have given us.
When the hater’s best defense is “it still doesn’t matter because of the TLJ”, you know they hit it out of the park.
Hit it out of the park?
They used the maximum amount of member berry juice to squeeze and push and overload everyone’s short term memory to forget that what you just saw still leads to the pathetic loser in TLJ.
The fact that you use that as your defense of it shows that you are in denial.
Star Wars is not saved.
This was the ultimate move to make everyone feel good, and I’ll be that guy in the room that says I pity everyone that got the uber feels from it. Everyone was so desperate for at a taste of REAL Star Wars, that a glimpse of the real Luke Skywalker broke their brains for a few days, turning them in to jibbering masses.
I must, as a continuity nerd, point out, why was he still wearing the black glove? The only reason Luke wore that glove on RotJ was because his hand was damaged and he had not time to get it fixed during the movie’s missions. This is years later, right? His hand would have been fixed, making having him wearing the glove just another member berry pressure point to trigger people’s nostalgia, since that was the last real image of Luke Skywalker, not Jake.
This did nothing but super charge everyone’s nostalgia center, and the longer everyone has to think about it, the sadder they will be, because they are not going to get anything like this again. Because when this Luke walked off that screen, he isn’t coming back. Unless this is an alternate timeline, which people are already dissecting to show that no it is still Disney Trilogy timeline, then next time you see him he’ll be guzzling green titty milk.
So I’d stop your prancing about and criticizing “haters” and look at the reality of the situation.
This was a gigantic publicity ploy to make everyone feel good, because so far everyone is saying that this episode was basically crap and boring up until that point. Mando is still the same middling show it always was, and even if Favreau is doing this with love for Star Wars in his heart, he is still spitting into the Tsunami that is still Disney Lucasfilm rising over his head that will eventually consume him and what he’s done to try and make actual Star Wars fans feel good.
