Possibly but I don't...see that? I mean his basic premise is that the TLJ (and ST in general) is a love letter to the fans. And while that might be true given these are the first two vids I have watched of his I do not see the pattern. It's how Bob acts on twitter and he really shows is bias on the videos. I'm starting to agree with him...

But anyway, speaking to Syfy's Fandom Files podcast about his role at Lucasfilm, Leland Chee - who's part of the company's vast story group and is also known as the "Keeper of the Holocron" (he's one of the definitive archivists of Star Wars canon, both past and present) - revealed that it was Chewie's death in particular that helped kick off the decision to scrap the EU out of continuity altogether ahead of the new movies:
"For me it came down to simply that we had killed Chewbacca in the Legends - a big moon had fallen on him. Part of that [original decision] was Chewbacca, because he can't speak and just speaks in growls, he was a challenging character to write for in novels. Publishing had decided they needed to kill somebody, and it was Chewbacca."
"But if you have the opportunity to bring back Chewbacca into a live action film, you're not gonna deprive fans that. There's no way that I'd want to do an Episode VII that didn't have Chewbacca in it and have to explain that Chewbacca had a moon fall on his head. And if we were going to overturn a monumental decision like that, everything else was really just minor in comparison."

Another thing I did like about the Bon We Trust vids was how he drew parrellels between Luke/ King Arthur. Which, then we all knew how King Arthur's story ended (which he does go over), it is even more evidence that the Last Jedi is very faithful to Luke's character.

www.gizmodo.com.au/2018/01/the-expanded-universe-story-that-led-to-lucasfilm-re-writing-star-wars-canon/ Yeah, because fuck Publishing killing a beloved character. You must have Harrison Ford-level authorization clout to do that At least they had a somewhat sensible reason (although how do they explain R2?) Ford was just like "fuck this I don't want to do this anymore." Again, though I disagree with any discontinuity/declaring of non-canon on principle, how hard was it to wipe out the Vong stuff, or rewrite it without Chewie dying and then bastardize the Legacy of the Force novels for their movies (since that's what they're doing anyway, except way shittier), while keeping everything else prior as canon? No actually you know what, double fuck you all. Can't take Chewie dying a hero but you shit on the three main leads anyway, completely invalidating any progress or growth or accomplishment they made in the OT? Eat a Death Star of dicks. The mouse should physically remove and purge EU fanatics and Jedi Knight heretics ASAP if it wants to make the new trilogy and new SW projects operative! no u

Really, just for having bad taste. I didn't report his post, because there was nothing to report. He is a nice and friendly person that I cannot stand. Therefore, he must be banned. ... I don't expect anyone to be banned, most of all because I of all people recommend it. It was sort of a joke, but it does remain my dream.

I find it interesting that when there are complaints about Luke Skywalker's character, the immediate assumption seems to be that we want Luke to take up his lightsaber and personally smash the First Order before sending Kylo to his room without supper.
No.
There are many ways they could have done justice to Luke without having him take an active role in the fighting.
He could have been the headmaster of a new Jedi Academy. Heck, in that role he could have properly trained Rey!
He could have been leading a new Jedi Council. Dispensing useful advice (rather than the nihilistic garbage Jake Skywalker was spouting in TLJ) without leaving his cushion.
He could have been advising the Resistance/New Republic. Staying in contact with his sister and observing events from afar and providing what advice he could.
He could have been retired and raising a family. Not a sexy role, but at least one where he finds peace after years of fighting.
But grumpy old man who's failed at life and is just waiting to die as the galaxy burns around him? Oh, but it's so unexpected and ARTISTIC! It must be deep or something!
