Sun sometimes breaks through in seconds. the only thing that I would have done differently is created an effect when she starts to hand him the lightsaber to look like it was cloudy and then the sun broke through just as she handed it to him, since the lighting is completely different in both scenes. It would have appeared that the clouds cleared in the sun came out as she handed it to him, which would have been kind of cool symbolically

I noticed it the first time I saw it, I had watched my DVD of the force awakens many times, and that last scene was so touching. I definitely noticed instead of Rey's wide-eyed hopefulness we saw her squinting in the sunlight and both of them looking haggard due to the harsh lighting. It's nearly always cloudy in the Irish sea, but if they couldn't reschedule the shoot it would have been very easy to put up large light fusing tapestries to diffuse the light or even block it completely to allow the indirect lighting and diffused lighting look closer to it was at the end of force awakens. The backgrounds could have been fixed in post-production with CGI.

Remember here that Luke Skywalker in the Original Trilogy did NOT Listen to his two masters Yoda & Obi-Wan when they kept telling him he must destroy and kill his own father Vader. Luke made his OWN choice there and did things differently, and even ended up proving them both wrong. So it really doesn't make sense here that he's all blaming the Jedi of the past.

Not to mention how it goes from being completely overcast and cloudy to bright and sunny in one second. These two scenes do NOT go together at all. Johnson messed up royally.

[@MrMoleHole]

@@KevyNova First of all Luke never smirked in this scene, secondly he doesn't care about the lightsaber and why would he? He isolates himself from his friends and the galaxy for a reason. He messed up and he blames himself. That lightsaber for Luke represents everything he has grown to despise about himself. Rey is treating him like the legendary Luke Skywalker while passing his old lightsaber to him, which reminds Luke of his over confidence in his status in thinking he could create a new and perfect Jedi order only to have it all destroyed because of his mistakes. Don't blame Rian Johnson for coming up with a compelling reason for why Luke went to Ahch To . If anyone messed up royally, it's JJ Abrams.

[@rosvel92]

The Last Jedi took the right choices, Is a known fact, how Lucas liked it, and was very disappointed on The Force Awakens. Hating the planets and characters being copy pasted from the ones in A New Hope, yet with none of the internal logic. For example it ignores the sacrifices of Rogue One, and Return of the Jedi´s Bothan spies. Because the Starkiller Base is destroyed without any kind of stolen plans. So that´s breaking the rules of Star Wars. From my point of view, the only inconsistent films are the pair of films directed and written by JJ Abrams. the actors and VFX are good, but Abrams did the worst directing and worst writing in Star Wars. I would not had cared about The Force Awakens or Rise of Skywalker, either.

[@nav7506]

Shame the Skywalker saga ended here. Would have been great to learn more about Reys background and see Luke in action again.

[@danielaowow]

relax now I'm doing something, the first thing is that episode VIll is not called the last jedi but the legacy of the force and luke is redeemed as it should always have happened and also many secrets are revealed

[@christianalcantarast7584]

There is no Skywalker Saga, but The Complete Saga. Star Wars only has 6 films, and The Clone Wars (2D and 3D).

[@Van_Crane]

He threw the lightsaber away as much as Disney threw their opportunities to make the last films good.

[@720zone]

Still so mad that they took an excellent first movie, and sh** all over it with the second. Its a travesty, and the people that made & approved TLJ should be ashamed. It'd be like getting a new Disney CEO that starts a new cartoon and Mickey Mouse is really a villian and then gets killed.

[@superjackster0165]

I swear it's like the people who made this trilogy hated Luke and secretly didn't want him in the trilogy at all. Hence, his limited screentime

[@stevenmorris2234]

The ending to Star Wars episode 7 was so perfect and episode 8 Rian who took it over from JJ just forced Luke Skywalker to give a middle finger to the Star Wars franchise! 😑 I hated Star Wars 8! Only two good scenes Snokes surprising death and how Luke was trolling Kyle Ren in the climax just to buy the Republic some time to escape. But even that didn’t save it! Then again Star Wars was at its finest and best before Disney took it over no doubt.

Rey’s fucking theme man so good. Maestro John Williams!

[@pikachuthebananasplit9061]

i like when luke gets the lightsaber he just YEETS it

[@tiberiius]

this perfectly illustrates how the build up was killed by tossing the lightsaber in a comedic way. i think people forget how it all looked and felt as a whole.

[@KevyNova]

You're right. Johnson turned a very powerful and emotional scene into a cheap gag.

[@jimmycanine9586]

When I saw this I couldn’t believe it. the legendary Luke skywalker has returned and we haven’t seen him since 1983 and now he’s back but when I saw the look on his face as Rey hands him the skywalker lightsaber I knew something had happened and I loved the ending to this movie it had me so gripped and o actually really loved the last Jedi and especially the rise of skywalker with palpatines return

[@thewatcher11111982]

Thats where SW went straight to hell……

[@Abandoned2377]

While funny let that be a statement of how much care tlj takes to respect lukes character. He wouldn’t do that. Mark himself would.

Rey Meets Luke

[@moddedinkling4168]

I came back to this because I recently did a back-to-back watch of The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi. As one whole movie, it feels like a proper experience. Unfortunately, that does mean spending many hours.

[@RaikenXion]

The scene starts out really kinda cool, full of wonder and mystic, a new adventure awaits the young girl Rey, but where is she headed? It's like harkening back to the old fables of the Sword in the Stone, the young student seeking out the wise old mentor. And then all that is completely dashed, thrown in the bin the moment Luke takes that saber and just chucks it over his shoulder and stubbornly walks off. It just turns into a Parody of *Star Wars*. What a waste of storytelling, such a shame.

[@JFrombaugh]

Say what you will about the Sequels, but I think the symbolism of Ahch-To's vast ocean dotted by rocky islands is perfect. It really is heartbreaking to see the iconic Jedi we all knew & loved from the Original movies turn out to be reduced to a bitter shell of an old man living in solitude like this.

[@ArtofLunatik]

the way he storms out after throwing lightsaber away is how i left the theatre after watching force awakens and luke didnt say one single line of dialogue smh.

[@otacon6566]

That lightsaber should have flew out of the snow & into Luke's hand instead of Rey's when her & Kilo were in the woods. It would have been a great call back to Emipre. Luke still could have been a distraught master that failed apprentices but been part of the Rebels. They could've continued having a stronger story about balancing the force. The list goes on & on & on & on. What's worse, I think in about 2034 or 2044, these sequels might get that, "we misunderstood these movies. They're not as bad as we thought." Whew, I don't know if I'm ready for that can of worms.

[@johnsantry5127]

To think I live not far from where they filmed this scene wow

[@cocafanta7940]

What happened to his green saber?

[@ghostraddical1981]

When rey first arrived on that planet, i was expecting rey would see students getting trained by masters and Luke watching over his jedi order, but no, we got a shit version of luke skywalker being depressed and grumpy like his father in prequels

[@QuackMamba34]

I laughed when Luke threw the lightsaber when I watched this in theaters.

[@hubyblake8660]

Was no one working on continuity? And... we all know TLJ craps on and destroys the original trilogy, but it also evidently craps all over The Force Awakens' big finale too! No respect. That's evident. No respect for characters, audience expectations, audience investment, or the art and work of others up to that point. The lightsaber toss is just so out of character for Luke. It's just ridiculous and typifies how Luke was treated in sequels.

[@kjdee140]

I’m so disappointed that they never made a sequel to this masterpiece. Sure, they kinda retreaded on A New Hope, but can you imagine the potential if they made this into a trilogy?

[@MajSolo]

why are they tilting the craft left and right and why are they skimming the surface ? Do they not have a navigation system selecting the optimum approach? I am just messing with you fan boys AND Hollywood personell who made this movie.

[@joshlight6892]

The Force Awakens had a beautiful cliffhanger. Made you wonder what would happen next. And then, the gravest disappointment in cinematic history at the beginning of the Last Jedi.

[@tonylaudati657]

Rian Johnson totally screwed up the storyline of what could have been an excellent third part of the saga. I worried when I read he was hired to direct TLJ, because I had seen LOOPER and was not at all engaged by the story or characters. Rather than taking the baton from J.J. Abrams and running with it, he threw it away as Luke did the light saber.

[@mignonthon]

the mandalorian s2ep8 destroyed all of that, the irony is strong..

[@AnimezMaster2008]

Fun Fact: The Island Is Actually In Ireland, And I'm From Ireland

[@jaythrone1008]

I cried in theaters they should have ended it here

[@carlosplascencia635]

I want someone to do this with either male or female walking up that mountain with a script instead of a lightsaber and the figure we see in Lukes place is George Lucas… as he turns around the subject gives him the script… the real story for his sequel trilogy…. As if the fans realize it was a mistake selling his franchise to Disney.

[@Charlie94781]

Luke Skywalker had a gruff emo demeanor on Ach-to since he felt guilt for being part of a rebel division that executed thePalpatine’s son and his wife spearheaded by Ochi of Bestoon who lured Rey’s parents into his vessel on Jakku then shipped them to an orbital platform where extremist rebels beat them to death

[@GSU_Panther_Nation]

It;'s almost like a Rogue One to A New Hope edit. This is copyright, and KZbin does not allow any of this whatsoever

[@Manny-gp2ub]

Still hurts, this movie ended with hope. Next movie went artsy and crapped all over it. Star Wars still hasn’t been the same. Baby Grogu is trying , but it ain’t the same.

[@izact]

Notice how powerful of a jedi Luke is the mando series rescuing Grogu, wiped out everyone on the ship flawlessly and now they got him hiding on an island

[@Spiralredd]

I love how they actually continued into the last Jedi 😂

[@CanucksGameVlogger]

they couldnt even get the lighting right in TLJ smh
