LOL THIS. Somebody f***ing gets it.

The yellow lightsaber, the red stormtroopers, the knights of Ren. This movie had a ton of little additions that serve no narrative purpose and are clearly there just to sell action figures.

There really isn’t no point to this trilogy. It doesn’t add more to the Star Wars legacy lmao. Hope they do the old republic movie correctly

yoda?

i like how you can see it go blue and green before it turns on

what was the point of this being yellow

It looks neat

Why couldn't they give this to her in the beginning of the movie since anakins broke in TLJ

Gray Jedi. Don't tell @MiniVan

I'm BSing but:

I'm getting Bastila Shan vibes from that. Wasted opportunity to make it a double-bladed saber. I think every Old Republic fan would have screamed.

I know that but all the relationship building takes place off screen. In the OT you actually see the trios chemistry develop

Crazy how leia has enough jedi training to beat luke in a sparing match yet never once actually used any of these skills to save ben or help the resistance.

I liked it.

Even if that was the case it doesn't even make sense in the context of TFA. If Leia is a powerful jedi why did she send Han of all people to try to redeem him.

Jedi Temple Guard sentinels use yellow lightsabers

they're suppose to defend and protect the jedi order

would have been interesting if they went more into detail about that

What was the point of Luke's being green?

When ya realize the last biological Skywalker's words were "Ow."

maybe the yellow lightsaber was supposed to represent that balance has finally been brought to the force

while red & blue are very similar hue, there’s no denying that they are on opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to good vs evil, yellow can serve as the perfect inbetween compliment to both these colors, the third primary color. Thus we achieve balance

either that or they went full fan service to appease EU nerds

idk but they didn’t make that a focal point in the conclusion of the movie or anything

I wouldn't necessarily say Rey's saber is a focal point, and tbh Luke's green saber was a f***ing huge talking point back when ROTJ released. Nobody knew colors outside of blue and red existed so to see green was wild. Now we see them everywhere so Luke's green saber reveal isn't really a big thing.

Btw, the only reason it was green was because they couldn't make the blue look good with the surroundings of the scene.

Who actually walked out the theater after watching TLJ and thought to themselves "hmm this is exactly like empire and return of the jedi"

Movie would have been 100x better if they finally showed a Jedi building their freaking lightsaber . Especially the significance of it for Rey :facepalm:

Only Thing that reminded me of the old movies was snoke showing Rey the resistance getting beat on
