Message: [QUOTE="DarthGrumpy, post: 3017552, member: 2141"] That and how Luke was treated. I had no issue with him dying in the new trilogy (though logistically it would have been easier to edit the script for him to die in IX instead of XIII due to Carrie Fisher's death); but, how he died was the kicker. Many of us grew-up with him as our first, real hero. Afterall, Luke... [LIST] [*]Had his Mom die at childbirth [*]Was separated from his twin sister (who lived in luxury as a Princess) for 18 years while he lived as a poor farmer on a crime-ridden, desert world [*]His adoptive parents were slaughtered [*]He killed a couple million Imperials by blowing-up the Death Star [*]The most evil being in the galaxy partially electrocuted him [*]And his Dad was a Hero who turned, slaughtered younglings, strangled his Mom, exterminated the Jedi, killed a sizable portion of the Imperial Navy's leadership, cut his mentor in half, turned his childhood friend into atoms, ordered his best friend tortured & turned into a wall ornament, cut-off his hand, found-out he kissed his own sister & then let his boss electrocute him, only to turn back & die in his arms [/LIST] So, Disney & Co. tells me that his winy little nephew goes dark and kills a few Jedi and THAT sends Luke off to be a hermit. Sure.... Oh, and by the way, if Thrawn can exist in the new continuum, where the frack is Mara Jade? [/QUOTE]
