Like so many others, the first viewing threw me off because the story didn't go as expected, or even as likely but the second time around was a blast because I knew what was going to happen and realized that I had no control over the story. The speculation and expectations were gone, so I enjoyed it for what it was. Hopefully, you have the same type of experience. |

And thus invalidating the entire measurement scale. Internet polls never have been nor will they ever be scientific. They can't be relied upon. They have no standing.

“I said to Rian, ‘Jedi’s don’t give up.’ I mean, even if he had a problem, he would maybe take a year to try and regroup. But if he made a mistake, he would try and right that wrong." A young apprentice goes dark and kills padawan on his exit - the master goes into hiding. Hmmm... where have I heard this before? Isn't what luke did exactly what obi-wan and yoda did after the fall of Anakin? During the movie I thought, "oh here we go, Rian is going to get crushed for following the same story line", and then the actual reaction is that it's so out of character for a Jedi. Wut? Mark, why do you think you (Luke) were doing your training on freakin' Degobah? |

You mean like obi-wan did? and Yoda? It's odd to me that this is so shocking. Rian even freakin' nodded to the fans that this exact scenario had already played out when R2 shows Luke the hologram of Leia talking to Ben - asking him to get back in the game.

Fair enough - and I agree, ultimately it was up to Rian, but I do think that was a tough decision due to JJ's storytelling in TFA.

Obi Wan was protecting Luke, who was thought to be the only person in the galaxy capable of defeating Darth Vader.
He was also only one of two surviving Jedi after Order 66 (at least as far was we know). Yoda didn't go into hiding because he was running away from a problem that he himself created. He went into hiding so that he could live long enough to hopefully train someone that could defeat Vader and his Emperor. I don't think you understand this movie or the past movies. |

If it was me Luke wouldn't have been a MacGuffin in the first place.
