Luke Skywalker: Jake Skywalker Just look at what happened when someone threatened his sister in ROTJ. Then look what happened in TLJ. They tell him the First Order is running roughshod over the galaxy, Leia is barely hanging on by a thread and really needs his help. He's like whatever, she's a big girl, she'll be fine. I mean she NEARLY DIED and Luke was acting all mopey, the same Luke Skywalker as you said went to the Dark Side the moment Vader threatened Leia.

Except Vader was slaughtering a bunch of rebels to retrieve his planet-blow-up machine plans. Luke was destroying droids to save Baby Yoda.

That's why I posted it. Great editing, great use of one of the most underrated Star Wars music pieces, and a great job showing why both sides feared Jedi/Sith instead of being told.

In the og Battlefront 2 Endor was hell as a trooper. You'll continuously be ragdolled by well camouflaged ewoks who pitched rocks like Noah Syndergaard until a Bonthan spy disintegrates your body or a wookie sends it flying for that combo breaker. It was like fighting a rabid zoo. Only Polis Massa as a clone trooper could compare to that misery.

Endor was a maze in Old Battlefront 2. People will be firing at you at different angles and you can't even see them.

This reminds me. The only real problem I had with the entire scene in the show was the music. It was good music, don't get me wrong. But it sounded so uncertain and almost scary, the entire sequence. Even after you had reason to believe it was a Jedi, much less Luke, it stays dark. I couldn't help thinking at the time, once I realized it was him, that there should be a shift in the music by this point to show hope, like a soft thread of the force theme/tatooine music going in the background.

My guess is part of it is to match the perspective of the people in the room. Gideon is terrified, Mando has never seen a Jedi Master before, and everyone else their relationship with Jedi is...complicated. So either they are uncertain or scared, fitting the music.

Gideon is terrified, Mando has never seen a Jedi Master before, and everyone else their relationship with Jedi is...complicated. So either they are uncertain or scared, fitting the music. That's true and its why I assume the music is like that. But from the audience's perspective, we know its a good thing. It would have been more cathartic for us if there'd been something like that. That's why I was suggesting having just a gentle upswing of the force theme threaded through the background of that dark music; to show the characters are freaked out and don't know what's going on, but also acknowledge the audience's growing swell of emotion as realization dawns. Or to even try to cause that realization in people who haven't gotten it, yet.
Plus, I'd think the group on the bridge should be feeling at least a bit of hope as they watch that guy tear thru the robots who were about to kill them, even if they're mostly still nervous. (Barring Gideon, of course. lol)
I get it was a stylistic choice and I agree it was likely meant to match the uncertainty of characters' thoughts (prolly Din, specifically). I just think it could have been tweaked a bit. And I'm not even upset or anything, really. Just sharing an observation. Its the only thing that kept that sequence from being perfection, imo, but its still a 9.5/10.
EDIT:
And thanks to this conversation, I have this on loop now. lol

I honestly still can't believe they did it. My daughter was like, 'that's Luke'. I'm like 'girl, be quiet, there's no way they'd do it' lol. Then we saw the green lightsaber, and she's screaming it's Luke I told you. It was crazy. It's amazing what that few minutes did for Star Wars fans young and old.

Yeah, I mean, to this day I'm still amazed that they brought us Jedi Master Luke. The REAL Luke. Not his loser twin brother Jake. Not a carbon copy of his character in the movies. But Luke grown up and in the fullness of his ability and with years of experience to draw upon. Almost the EU version of Luke. This is the Luke we wanted to see in the sequels. Maybe not crushing legions of droids. But someone willing to pass on his lessons, to defend the innocent, and actually take an active interest in the galaxy rather than mope and wait for someone else to clean up his own messes
