Lose another character....Can we deal with it???

What ever the story calls for,, I'm cool!!!
Why no Chewy on the list?

 

If they kill off Luke Skywalker in the next movie after 2 or 5 minutes of screen time, I'am done with Star Wars and Disney.
It would clearly show theirs incompetence to use characters and to tell a good story.
By the way I don't like the new characters they are wannabe Star Wars characters.

Rey is flawless and a Mary Sue like character (a very boring character in my opinion)
Finn is the usual comic relief guy (who behaves silly and cowardly)
Kylo Ren is a spoiled brat (with violent temper and a parents hatred complex)

They can kill them off altogether in the first second of VIII.

They try to force us to like the new characters.
The word characters is inappropriate in my opinion, they are two dimensional transparent decals.

Edit: Many people seem to be very sensitive about critic - theirs aggressive rating style reflects it.
Thanks for the "great post" rating.

 

I think after TFA, the galaxy needs Luke and Leia more than we know. Without these two...all would be lost so having them die too soon will not be a good thing. Keep them kicking around and let them be the mentors to the new characters we've grown and love. Think of Han who was sort of a mentor to Rey, a father figure she never had and she ended up losing him to the point that it really hurt her deep inside.

 

I agree, and if they decide to "kill off" some of the big legacy characters it should have some depth, meaning and significance for the entire saga.

 

We'll lose Leia in VIII and Luke in IX.

 

As long as that happens, the more I'll keep caring about those characters because of the impact they made. It'll be difficult for me though to let go but Luke and Leia's legacy will live on through the new generations of heroes like Rey, Poe, and Finn.

 

Han's death and how it was set up really revealed something about the character and made me look at him in a different way in the other movies. It helped. Seriously, I really think Leia will die, but in a heroic way which will definitely impact Ben's decision for either the light or dark. I don't think they'll kill off Luke. Perhaps again something heroic......

The gods smiled when Hux was born.....what other reason should there be.

 

hahaha ~ Hux has a vote. C3PO doesn't.

 

I don't think that Leia will die/ There's really not much in-story or real life reason for them to do that. It'd just be "shocking" for the sake of it, which they tried really hard NOT to do with Han's death.

Luke MIGHT die, but I'm not even sure of that. And if he does, I kind of don't see it happening until Episode IX. I absolutely think that he'll have a critical role in Episode VIII at least, and quite possible in the next one as well. Everything in TFA, including the ending, points to that for me. And if his death is done well, then my feeling on it will be similar to what they are with Han. It's sad to lose him, but it made sense in-context and was done well.

But I could easily see them keeping him around to start a NJO, with Rey as his #2/eventual successor, but we'll see.

And I REALLY don't think that it makes any sense to kill off characters like Rey or Finn at this point.

 

Changed it

Where's JarJar in the list?

 

I think that it depends on the character in question but I think the most jarring would be Luke Skywalker because we've seen practically nothing from him...it will be gut-wrenching but it would have the same effect as the loss of Han Solo .

 

I personally would be saddened if they killed off R2-D2 and/or C-3PO.
The rest - while it may be sad to see (a lot of) them go, the Star Wars timeline moves on and those mortals are gonna have to go eventually. But killing off two classic characters like R2-D2 and C-3PO, who could be practically immortal (and who I've always envisioned to exist in the Star Wars galaxy for a very long time), as long as they receive the necessary maintenance work on their droid parts, would be rather unnecessary. I mean, BB-8 is cool and great and all,
but you can't really replace R2 and 3PO and they quite honestly don't ever really need to be replaced, in my eyes.

 

I got down voted for saying this in another thread, but I'll say it again anyway, it took 30 years to get Luke back on the screen. I have absolutely no interest in seeing him die simply to make room for the new characters (and I say that as an unabashed Finn fan). I'd honestly want to see Luke (at a minimum) play a role through this trilogy and into the next. I feel like there is enough story line, plot elements, that there could be a need for Luke. If we are supposed to learn origins of the new characters (as well as add new characters) it seems like to me that eliminates some of the time allocation for the development of the New Jedi Order. So push the New Jedi Order development to the next trilogy and keep Luke around for it. He serves a purpose. If he dies after that, then I will feel like his character was given it's due and it will be time for the new Jedi to step forward. Plus it wouldn't be without precedence... Yoda spanned 6 movies. No reason Luke can't. Just my take.

One of the characters I worry about in the coming movies is Poe. I know he is a pilot like no other (and I have my suspicions about his FS) but it's because he is so charismatic and likable, that if they chose to do a "heart break" move, he might be a candidate for it. I hope they don't. Also... l think Kylo survives this trilogy. I think they elevate the other KoR who can be struck down, and I think Kylo eventually takes out Snoke (Rule of Two Sith style even though they aren't Sith), and becomes the new face of darkness. I don't think Kylo gets redeemed at all in this trilogy.

 

I'm the funniest on here . I'd honestly rather not see anyone else die unless there's a build up to it and it's genuine and make sense without the need to explain it in other media formats . It would be cool if Snoke is kept alive past this trilogy and Poe dies but only with a genuine build up that would make us all cry past TFA .

 

Great post.

 

The only trick with Luke is that, while he can serve an important role certainly, it ultimately needs to be Rey and her alone that resolves whatever the final confrontation turns out to be. Luke didn't have Obi Wan and Yoda backing him up when he faced off with Vader and Sheev, and Obi Wan faced Anakin alone as well.

So, if you're not going to kill him off, then you need to come up with an alternative, believable explanation for why he's not involved directly in n the final confrontation. Which is doable I think, but it'd take some creative writing.

 

I don't think it's a necessity that she, and she alone resolves the final confrontation (unless it's conquering the darkness from within... because ultimately that is what Anakin, Obi Wan, Luke, and really all the Jedi had to defeat from within). Additionally... right now there is Snoke and there is Kylo... do you feel like it needs to be Rey that defeats both?
