This would have made a great trilogy. I wish this could have been the sequels! Awesome video as always!!

Ben's parents and uncle set themselves up to fail him. I think Leia is more to blame than Han, although he bears some of the responsibility. Parents are supposed to do anything for their children and love them unconditionally. Leia cared more about her career than her only son, failed to notice how isolated and lonely he became, and could not provide him with a trustworthy adult figure to confide in or turn to when he needed it. Also, Ben he could not really confide in Luke, because any attempt to help him work through his problems would probably have looked like favoritism since Luke was basically a teacher as well as an uncle. Then when her son went off the rails, as children with abandonment issues frequently do, Leia gave up on him pretty much straight away. A better parent or mother would have done everything and tried everything to reach out and help her child.

Didn’t help Leia let Han die if she have the foresight she would had known Ben needed both his parents.

I hope we get an Prequel-Sequel Trilogy

Just a child in a mask.

Just a bad Jacen copy

[@jaieregilmore971]

Fact key difference is Jacen has the full story Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader didn’t want become like him but almost become something worst.

Been saying this for years but the FA should have shown the Jedi order thriving after the empire..

[@masterjolteryukai3919]

Question. Where is that comic you shown from? Whats the name? Of Luke walking with Ben and telling he was almost ready for his trials? 😮

[@RetneysHolocron]

No...the Disney stuff is just trash. And along with many others, say it will never be Canon. IF they had stayed with the books, they could've had a great series. But no, let's scrap Canon and pull characters out of thin air. I hope Disney goes bankrupt!
