"The Importance of Luke Skywalker" | Kip Reacts to So Uncivilized

Fellow Legends, welcome! Today we dive into another excellent Star Wars video, this time with the Importance of Luke Skywalker. I did have to mute a couple segments of music in this video as even watching this on Twitch, there were sections of music that I was more than willing to let Disney request be cut or muted. If anything I'd say at the very least I'm reasonable when it comes to proper DMCA notices. As someone that's watched Star Wars since I was very young Luke Skywalker, and by extension Mark Hamill, symbolized a lot to me and many others. What was your experience with Star Wars? Did you watch the original New Hope when it was just called, "Star Wars?" Do you think So Uncivilized is on-point with this video? I absolutely loved watching this, and if you did as well then I do absolutely recommend you go and check out the original video to show some support for the source material! And, if you would like more Star Wars content on this channel, please let me know!

One of the things that Star Wars has taught me is that the obsession to protect a loved one can lead to the very situation you're trying to prevent. (Not saying people shouldn't protect their loved ones)

[@jaieregilmore971]

Plus even if Anakin manage to save padme what's if happens again? He will have save her over and over to the point it be insane. It for the best he let her go and not think letting go as the end but a beginning for both them.

[@sterlingmuse5808]

I HAD NO IDEA OZAI WAS MARK HAMILL!!! That explains quite a lot about why that voice is so iconic.

[@bloodfarts5317]

My favorite legend stories are Palpatine trying to replace Vader and no one is able to defeat him. Its just Palpatine getting progressively more pissed off and eventually just accepts Vader.

[@jaieregilmore971]

Seems fitting for his character.

[@VenathTehN3RD]

When it comes to Luke vs. Vader in ESB, I think the moment that really cinches just how completely outclassed Luke is comes when he actually manages to tag Vader on the shoulder near the end of the fight, because that's exactly WHY the fight comes to an end so rapidly after all of the slower buildup. The moment that Luke actually managed to land a real hit on him, Vader shut that shit down immediately and (quite literally) disarmed Luke in a matter of seconds. That's how the fight goes when Vader isn't just kind of letting things play out and testing what his son can do. And on the subject of Palpatine's survival...I think one of the reasons why people are harder on it in the Sequel Trilogy than Legends comes down to when each of them was made. The Legends arc where he restores himself via cloning came out before the Prequel Trilogy, and thus before there was any lore established about how Vader killing Palps was part of the prophecy of the Chosen One. It wasn't inconsistent when it was released because the thing that made it inconsistent with the lore of the movies didn't exist yet. The Sequel Trilogy, on the other hand, was made well after the Prequels - and everything they established - were made. So I think people kind of let his survival go in Legends because it was completely consistent with what we knew from the movies at the time it was released, but didn't let his survival go as easily with the Sequels because they were made with complete knowledge that what they're writing doesn't quite gel with what's already been established. The former leads to a feeling of "Well it's inconsistent, but there's no way they could've known it'd be rendered inconsistent through changes made like a decade later" while the other leads to a feeling of "Are they seriously just going to ignore what was set up in the other movies so they can have their own characters be the ones who solve everything instead?"

[@josephedmond3723]

The fact that the Empire isn't "really" gone, the new republic doesn't "really" exist and the Jedi haven't "really" returned just adds to the frustration with the sequel trilogy. They just the entire story of those movies pointless so they could make a second rate version of someone else's story.

[@guamsoncruz5107]

You should watch shadiversity's breakdown of the Vader v Luke's fight

[@bloodfarts5317]

Absolutely

[@zinogre6225]

The difference between the legends return of palpetine is that they actually set it up and made it make sense. In the Sequels they just said, “oh btw palps is back and we don’t know why, just don’t question us” and that’s why we have a problem with it. Plus people apparently didn’t like the storyline in legends anyway so…

[@si2foo]

no Luke i am your father wasn't even said on set. It was added in voice over. there was something else said about obiwan which was there to be the reaction.

[@the_oc_maniac8972]

I think the line on set was that it was Obi-Wan who killed his father.

[@zacharyharwell351]

If you haven't seen "Obi-Wan has PTSD" I HIGHLY recommend it. It's a short video but it REALLY contextualizes Obi-Wan during the OT

[@krugerofcause9048]

“It was very cool seeing Owen and Beru in Kenobi” If only Kenobi was good, and didn’t somehow assassinate their characters despite having less than 3 minutes of screen-time collectively in the franchise.

[@wwmandalore]

💯

[@CyberSlayer128]

I haven't watched Kenobi for context but I saw the clip of them both fighting off an Inquistir with a pipe. Suddenly their deaths via inferno seems less like a cruel death and more like the Stormtrooper's last resort.

[@mickyflint]

tbf I doubt Luke knew much about Sith and their capabilities in general let alone Palpatine's given his small amount of training. Doubt they had time to give him history lessons when he was still learning to swing a sword and make rocks float.

[@mentalkittyRealOG]

I don’t think citing Legends (previously known as the EU) justifies the Sequels, if anything the Legends had shown why that was a bad idea and the Sequels went and still did it again but even more crudely

[@mickyflint]

the issue with palpatine surviving isnt that legends also had him do it. people hated that as well. Its that it undermines the first six movies story and repeats the legends mistake. on top of disney throwing out all of legends only to steal ideas and do it worse, they also took one of the more disliked parts if not most disliked.

[@PatriotJedi]

Dude you cut out George's amazing speech at the end because you wanted to monetize this video? I get how copyright works but you could of let that play because that was the message of the video.

[@KipReacts]

I actually didn't know that's what got cut. It was a song on the copyright claim.

[@turinturambar1688]

The clone things is legends and other nonsense is why Disney through out legends entirely

[@Caratacus0]

Mark and I share a birthday

[@Maxer4000]

While Legends' canon is rather dubious since Lucas deems it fan-fiction on some parts (He did took some into canon). However, whatever feat Palpatine ever made in it are deemed non-canon by Disney which made it more inexcusable. Even if Legends SOMEHOW deemed canon, it's still borderline BS, the dark side of the force can do many things "considered unnatural" but I highly doubt surviving a blast point blank from a death star core TWICE is something achievable There's this thing called believability in stories, when things are presented in the way that make one's suspend their disbelief and accept it as normal within the context of it's universe. Jedi can move things around using the force, some Siths can cast lightning etc... But when things like Sheev here can just brush off the death star blowing up twice (even if you trust the whole clone body thing when why didn't he inhabit a better body then a decrepit corpse), it breaks all the immersion the story could ever have which is the last thing any story would strive for, period.

[@Billmaster115]

Mark Hamil, like most people, are noble at heart and respectable, but not without his flaws. He looks at headlines without reading articles. Hes that kind of person, but someone his age doesnt have to i guess 😅. There are certainly the Sidious's of the world, our Padme's, our Obi-Wan's and Yoda's...Mark Hamil os just stuck as Luke in New Hope. Thats no attack on his character by any measure, but it tells you to measure your expectations accordingly. Mark is not a political scientist or politically literate, most people arent. Marks incentives and motivations are noble to a fault, its not malicious, just ignorant a lot of the time.

[@KipReacts]

He's just built different, and I have a lot of respect for the man.

[@erikbihari3625]

Could people stop yammering on about the"i don't like sand"quote. The past few days, i finally been to an Actual beach, and Yes, Sand Does get Everywhere(even inside my trunks/on my butt)?

[@erikbihari3625]

Triple trilogy? Hope disney doesn't count! Blah blah blah;"prequels are brilliant, but need better execution". Can you say Anything, original, hack?
