Film Theory: Is Luke EVIL in Star Wars: The Force Awakens?

In the Star Wars series, Luke Skywalker goes from being a lovable boy-next-door to a happy-go-lucky Padawan learner, to powerful Jedi, to hero of the Republic! No matter what, we can always count on Luke to be the good guy...or CAN we?? Today, we look into Star Wars: The Force Awakens to determine why Luke is missing from all the trailers. Could it be that in The Force Awakens, Luke Skywalker has turned to THE DARK SIDE? All aboard the Star Wars hype train...WOO WOO!

Mat pat in 2015: plapltine was cloned crazy right?

Me in 2020: you have no idea

[mattwong]

"How often do we see Yoda wrong?" Throughout the entirety Clone Wars and Episodes 1-3. His rigid mindset is his greatest flaw. His idea of the Jedi being an emotionless cult directly led to the rise of Darth Vader

[HAOSMIKE]

If luke becomes a sith, obiwan is very bad at training jedi.

[ThomasTheThermonuclearBomb]

MattPat: How often do we see Yoda wrong in this franchise?
Me: Quite often, actually...

[mariabobia]

Imagine this:

Kylo Ren is defeated in battle, and is forced to remove his helmet. The camera moves behind him, his hands reach up, and he slowly pulls it off his head. "Meesa sorry." He cries, before he collapses.

It was Jar-Jar the whole time.

"It's like poetry... It rhymes"

Anakin- "You underestimate my power."
Luke- "I warn you not to underestimate my power."

The Vader defending the Emperor scene always left me feeling a bit odd.
After only 34 years I've finally figured out why, he may not have been protecting the Emperors life but rather was protecting his son from falling to the dark side.

[shanksredhair]

Anakin: don't underestimate my power
Luke: don't underestimate my power

[BrixVGM]

Even though this did not happen, one line I noticed...
Luke talking to jabba: I warn you, *do* *not* *underestimate* *my* *power*.
End of Battle of Episode ][ ][ ][:
Obiwan: It's over anakin! I have the high ground!
Anakin: *Do* *Not* *underestimate* *my* *Power*!
See the resemblance?

[AciDicBliTzz]

Both Film Theory AND CinemaSins put out a Star Wars video today? HYPE!

[BitzuMC]

If Star Wars 7 sucks, J.J Abrams shall be renamed to Jar Jar Abrams.

[emmab]

"When has Yoda ever been wrong"
Literally every movie he was in but ok

[mcguyman]

Luke had more lines in the trailers than the movies... XD

[Dardessia]

It's like poetry... It rhymes.




Jar Jar is the key to all this.

[sparkiej]

This seems too obvious
WHAT IF THIS IS WHAT JJ WANTS US TO THINK?
HE WANTS US TO THINK THIS IS THE TWIST SO THAT HE CAN TWIST US LIKE A PRETZEL DURING THE FILM
THAT GENIUS BASTARD

[traceybarryhunt]

those were the good times, when we thought the sequel trilogy could be good

[jack_of_all_]

Just makes me want to say...




BOY WERE THEY WRONG!!!

[jonkeathegamer]

MatPat: *Predicts Abrams' plans.*

JJ Abrams: *Changes movie and only gives Luke one scene without lines.*

[frederickthegreat]

“ Seem like a stretch? ( laughs) it’s not!


It is DEFINITELY a stretch

[injeraenjoyer]

"I warn you not to underestimate my power"
Where have I heard that before...
