Luke vs. Luuke.

Hence I said Star Wars media, not just the movies. Force lightning was one of the dark side powers of the new millennium, to the point that a GBA game even created a light side equivalent because it just wouldn't be a Star Wars game if you didn't have the option to fry someone with your fingertips it seems.
Current canon is much better about it, yes, but I feel the damage is done in that regard.
Yeah, it's kinda groanworthy how universal Sith Lightning became among Dark Side users in the old EU.
I'm really curious about this too.

Yeah I'm not including legends in any of these discussions as that got out of hand early on. Dark Forces 2 had Kyle Katarn get Force sensitive out of nowhere and you could run around shooting lightning out of your fingertips while still being a Jedi. And this was before the prequels. Legends was crazy. Lots of good stuff in there too though.
And Jedi! Luke used some green "light side" lightning during the Swarm War.
It's a PoP marketing term used to describe the cardboard stand up. Each one is a "tower". Nothing to do with the film.
Literally the cardboard towers those are printed on. I wouldnt read into the name tower here.
Edit: *banishes GhaleonEB to the black tower*

The Dark Tower crossover confirmed.
That is just marketing names for the different types of PR material/stands you can get for your foyer is my guess.
Red Tower = rebel/light side stand, mainly red color
Black Tower = dark side dudes, mainly black color.
Why Luuke is on both is the mystery.

The tagline:

The one of the right is Bigger Luke.
Thanks for clearing up the tower bit. I too am intrigued by his presence on both sides as well.

Wow. If they were going for a light side vs dark side thing here they could have easily used Snoke in the dark tower since he's not exactly a secret but they chose a dark Luke instead hmm. Maybe Luke's curiosity caught up to him and he's battleling himself or rather the dark side managed to manifest itself as a split personality in Luke that he can't control it when it takes over and he's the real culprit in teaching Snoke the dark side or he tried to expell all the bad out of himself so he wouldn't be tempted ever and fucked up his bad was pulled out of him but it formeditself as a dark physical form of Luke. This will probably explain how Vader doesn't have a father he was just created from the force.

I think they're just making up for the lack of Luke in TFA's marketing, Put him on everything!
Thanks for the responses guys. Thought we were going lord of the rings there for a second
Binary Sunset: The Aroma of Destiny
Will Luke have his own fragrance line?

I really doubt a Dark Luuke as a real manifestation is in the movie.
MAYBE we are getting the equivalent of a BvS Dark Superman nightmare dreamt by Rey or something like that.

I mean he did run away and doesn't want to be found. I think he fucked up and knows it.

I'm just gonna say it.
The porg is overrated.
It's cute but not that cute. It looks very CGI to me despite apparently being a practical effect. It's really not an element I expect to be that prominent in the film. It's the modern day ewoks, meant to be a thing for the kids who like star wars. Which I don't object to, btw. It's a franchise for all ages.
But I'm not expecting it to be BB-8 levels of endearing in the actual movie

BronsonLee said porgs ain't shit
It needed to be said. I think it was as worthy a contribution as anything I've ever posted on gaf.
If I were a mod, I'd have banned you for the "modern day Ewoks" insinuation alone

Damn SW marketing department works fast. Wheres the cheque?
"Move, bird."
The sheer levels of Kreia energy coming off of Luke in all this marketing... Its just delicious.
She's a great character

I really gotta get through the KOTOR games at some point.
I actually liked the themes and tone of KOTOR 2 much more than K1. I felt like it was much more mature
If they put a new power to the big screen it should be force crush, from Kotor. It shows great power, and would add a punctuation to a battle with Kylo vs some important figure that he makes a ball out of.
And that would be cool to see Rey go with a double bladed saber. It would fit with her staff affinity.

So Kylo Ren is like Prince Zuko?
Is Uncle Luke like Uncle Iroh?
