I want to see him use it at the end against Kylo.

 

[BattleMonkey]

I want Luke to do this.

This was fan fiction levels of cringe

 

[bsp]

He's given up the Force and will just use a blaster.

 

[Einchy]

This was fan fiction levels of cringe

Were you also cringing at Rogue One?

 

[Stallion Dan]

When Rey gets her hand chopped off Luke gonna pull out the green and save her ass.

 

[Stead Fast]

I want him to crush Ren's lightsaber with the force, to show him what a master is all about.

 

[johancruijff]

He's gonna pull out a red saber

 

[Timeaisis]

He could like TK his green lightsaber everywhere while standing still.

 

[D i Z]

I'd find it hilarious if he lost his other arm trying to get back into the game at his age.

 

[Bishop89]

Green lightsaber or I'll turn into a sith

 

[m_shortpants]

It should be used sparingly.

 

[Elegant Weapon]

Luke Skywalker should have a star war with a lightsaber. At least spar with Rey

 

[DangerMouse]

This. If I don't get to see him use his green saber, then what is the point of this new trilogy?

Yup.

Luke's green saber needs to come back so people remember that it's the better saber.

Also he needs to do some ridiculous bullshit with the force, because I want to see grandmaster luke just stomping on motherfuckers.

This. Completely agree, we've been waiting too long not to get to see it.

 

[Gnome Scat]

I'm not normally a fan of fan service but if he whips out that green glow stick I'm gonna lose it.

 

[Agnostic]

He's gonna pull out a red saber

First thought I had reading the thread title. I don't know how I feel about this.

 

[bionic77]

True masters glow.

I hope Luke can reach that level in the next movie.

 

[HvySky]

The question is, why would he?

He should, in theory, be one of the most powerful beings in the universe. When you're as powerful as he should be, there's no need to dirty your hands with saber battles, you just force crush some bitches and go about your day.

That's what we all thought about Yoda and then Lucas fucked it all up.

Personally I agree. I'd rather Luke approach the situation in a way that doesn't feel like an excuse to bust out the ol' lightsaber, but it wouldn't ruin the movie for me because I doubt TLJ will go the way of flippy dippy Yoda.

 

[WhiteRabbitEXE]

I want Luke to be far beyond using a lightsaber. The most powerful Jedi in history, who has spent years learning aspects of the Force that not only were likely long forgotten by the Jedi Order of the prequels, but may never have been known at all.

Clone Wars season 3 spoilers: I need him to do this. (specifically talking about what happens at the time stamp)

 

[Tevious]

I'd prefer they kept it minimal, at least. As long as he's not jumping around or doing flips and just handles his lightsaber about as competently as Vader did in the OT, then I'm fine with him using it. If he does any fighting, it'd be neat if he started off with the lightsaber, then just focuses on demonstrating his force abilities.

I want him to do this, but instead of it working, its dices his hand as expected, and Rey is just sitting there staring in amazement

 

[Kurdel]

Were you also cringing at Rogue One?

I absolutely was.

Felt like tacked on fan service for people who liked the prequels.

 

[Lulubop]

Id be really cool if he was just op as fuck, and isn't really challenged, just force stuff. I want him to be like Kenshin's master Hiko.

 

[Horse Detective]

I absolutely was.

I loved it, and hate the prequels so much I refuse them as canon.

Who wants to interview me?

 

[MisterHero]

I want him to fight by summoning the Jedi Masters of old, who in turn use lightsabers made out of pure Force. Yoda in his ghostly prime is 300% more flippy than in AotC.

Cut me a check right now Disney

Have you read the Leigh Brackett draft of The Empire Strikes Back by any chance

 

[Dmax3901]

If he does I hope it's like Neo fighting Agent Smith at the end of The Matrix, just like he's playing on easy mode swatting away flies.

That almost made my had hurt a little just watching that

 

[Apt101]

No, he should totally bust out the green saber and remind everyone, at least briefly, that he is Luke motherfucking Skywalker.

 

[Kurdel]

I mean, I didn't care for Rogue.

The last 2 minutes flet like they panicked at how lame the ending was, so they made a scene so fans can feel pumped when leaving the theatre.

btw I know that I am super cynical.

 

[DeathPeak]

I don't care if he uses it, but I better see Artoo shoot it out of his head.

 

[SapientWolf]

I'm fine with the idea that he's so good with the saber that he doesn't need to bother with heavy force use. Film is primarily visual, and it's easier to communicate mastery of martial arts than something as abstract as the force.

 

[Robot Pants]

He will

 

[molnizzle]

If Master Skywalker doesn't fuck something up with a green lightsaber at least once then this trilogy doesn't deserve to exist.

Yeah that movies boring.

Spoiler

Vader

tho.

My statement stands. I love that scene and wish more of the movies had that level of brutality.

 

[Crimsonlink]

If Luke is so masterful with the force that he doesn't need a saber then we don't even need more Star Wars movies. Why not just Force Crush Snoke's head or choke him like his late father used to all the time and end this charade?

 

[Pinko Marx]

I'd rather him bust out his old man's saber.

 

[DrForester]

No, his green saber is fucking rad.

Green saber or riot.

Seriously. GOAT lightsaber needs to be seen.

 

[MisterHero]

Have you read the Leigh Brackett draft of The Empire Strikes Back by any chance

Damn it, now I can't claim the idea. But seriously they should do something to bring back all those old Jedi. Luke saying "the Jedi must end" seems kinda silly considering they learned how to live forever.

Also he needs to cover up his tiny robot hand.

 

[SlickShoesRUCrazy]

Hell yes and use both light and dark side force powers!

 

[Ecotic]

I agree with the OP. I want to see him do some incredible stuff and to mock a lightsaber as a baby's toy.

 

[DrForester]

Well, it should've blown up in Jedi, right?

Never see him go back for it, but he clearly has it when he arrived for Yub Nub on Endor.

 

[Jeffolation]

I'm cool with him going out like Alec Guinness.

 

[matrix-cat]

No lightsabre. There has to be more to mastery of the Force than just getting really good at swordfighting. Physical martial arts fights are for the young, attractive characters; I want to see Master Luke pulling off some crazy Force shit we've never even imagined before. TFA had the wonderful psychic fight between Rey and Kylo, and Kylo's creepy freezing power, so I'm hoping for something really out there from Luke in TLJ.

 

[Dreez]

sorry wrong thread**

 

[soxinthebox]

The question is, why would he?

He should, in theory, be one of the most powerful beings in the universe. When you're as powerful as he should be, there's no need to dirty your hands with saber battles, you just force crush some bitches and go about your day.

Maybe it's like the power rangers not escalating their powers unless their enemies do first.

 

[PhantomZone]

Having a Star Wars movie with Luke Skywalker but no light saber (makes light saber noises) would be like a Superman movie without any flying. You need light sabers!!!

 

[DrForester]

But Luke will fight a giant spider in the 3rd act.

 

[CloudyTuba]

For the most part, I'd like to see Luke go Force Unleashed on folk without the lightsaber. Some real crazy shit almost like he's just beyond the use of one.

However, I'd be disappointed if I didn't see that green at least once for old times sake. Perhaps someone with a saber manages to get in close and he thoroughly embarrasses them. Maybe he could even go hands-free with the lightsaber, standing thoughtfully with his hands clasped behind his back as it dashes around him, blocking slashes from an attacker and making them look like a desperate child. Is that too much?

Sort of like the lightsaber equivalent of this fight:

 

[Into the Light]

Because of George Lucases stupidness I feel like I got robbed of seeing luke as a true Jedi Master. I will never forgive George for that ever.

He had 30 years, 30 years!!!!!!

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

I believe that whatever Johnson has in store will satisfy most people...
