    I’m not certain this film should be made, but if it’s going to happen hopefully it can include Mark Hamill and we can get closure on what Luke tried and how Rey can learn from it.

    Luke earned the chance to try and rebuild the Jedi, it’s only fair that he at least gets a chance to redeem his failure.

            Unless there is another quote the exact quote is, “he’s not my Luke Skywalker”, which is true.

            The Luke Skywalker we got in the sequel trilogy is not the Luke Skywalker I would have written. It’s a shame they story that was told.

            However the Luke Skywalker we saw in The Mandalorian? That’s the Luke Skywalker I want to see. It’s not perfect, but it’s damn good.

            So if we’re doing a Rey film, and she wants to start a Jedi Order, then I want to give Luke the chance to show what he did. Show what worked. We can’t take back the sequels, they happened. But we can do what Dave Filoni has been doing for years and fill in some gaps.

    I thought we were done with her and anything prominently Skywalker related?

    Besides Andor, everything since TFA has just ended with disappointment. A film for everyone is a film for no one.

    The sequel trilogy was widely despised because it just wasn’t good.

    Why make more content based on it? That doesn’t make sense to me.

      To bring value to shareholders no matter the cost, of course. Why else would you make a movie?

        They can bring value to shareholders by making good movies people actually want to watch.

    Do we have to keep rehashing the Jedi/Sith duopoly? I was sorely disappointed with the missed opportunity to have Ben and Rey travel the galaxy preaching a new dogma; “the Force belongs to everyone”.

    We get better Star Wars when they stop beating the long dead horse that is the Skywalker saga. Just bury it already.
