Leia Didn’t Pass Out, She Just Saw Into Her Future
It ’s still thefate of General Leia Organathat proved far more of a talking tip whenLast Jediwas first expel . Not that she survived the attack at all , even if the going of Carrie Fisher made the presume dying scene even more meaningful in the moment . No , the argument occur when Leia seemed to instinctively call on The Force in her final moments of life to spread out her center , outstretch an arm , and move herself through the vacuum of infinite and back onto the ship . A moment that can now be better understood , andthe truth of Leia ’s Force flight through spaceshown from her linear perspective and with her own narration .
Leia ’s inner monologue may be more exact , since the text boxes accompanying the effigy show her head was still go while adrift in blank space .

Admiral Holdo Tells Poe She Has a Plan
Likely the most frustrating choice for those unrealised byStar Wars : TheLast Jediis the means through which Poe Dameron ’s story is given conflict . Basically , he and Finn spend most of the movie working to relieve the Resistance , since itsnew leader Admiral Holdohas basically given up . That ’s how it seems , at least , since she refuses to even confirm that she has a programme . Since he ’s watching his comrade die with no programme in sight , his eventual mutiny is apologise . But only then does Holdo let on she DID have a plan and simply chose to let Poe whirl out of control … but no difficult tactual sensation .
The comic plays out Admiral Holdo ’s promotion in largely the same way , including her being less than charm by the recently - demoted Captain Dameron . Not actively hostile and belittling like the picture show , but still unmoved . Yet , as the hero of the Resistance being groom by Leia for next leadership , Poe has to ask Holdo to sustain that she really does have a design . She responds that yes , she has a design . Which means Poe ’s doubts and need to take action are actually a grapheme arc , and not common sense in the nerve of slaughter .
The Audience Sees The Fun Side of Maz Kanata’s Call
Even if fan would have preferred thatMaz Kanata returnin a meaningful , physically present use forStar Wars : The Last Jedi , she does make an visual aspect via hologram call . The purpose of the call is for the heroes to get a lead on a somebody who could aid them sneak onto the Imperial ship tracking the Resistance Fleet . That ’s the purpose to the game , at least .

or else of a usual hologram conversation , the heroes interrupt Maz in the eye of a firefight . The result is a scene that feels more like a video plot fetch quest , or a joke only midway delivered . Or perhaps a realization that having character sit down around and conduct the call ordinarily would be … boring ? Either way , the comic at least follows the call from Maz ’s side so readers can actually enjoy her action hoagie chop .
The Kylo Ren/Rey Link is Force Projection
No , we ’re not going to be revisiting the Force projection used to send off Luke across the wandflower just yet . We ’re referring instead to the tantrum partake by Rey and Kylo Ren , able to see and interact with each other in their respective locations . But since the movie only indicate the doer spill to the other offscreen , it ’s not precisely absolved what the characters are physically experience , or even witnessing . And the film producer do n’t seem too concerned in elucidate it outside of cinematic convention ( havingKylo shirtlesswas actually added so audiences would know Rey could see his current forcible form ) .
The Last Jedicomic solves the subject perfectly , present each character abruptly appear before the other , explain their startled reactions . It ’s only when Rey shoots through Kylo that each realize the illusion . An illusion that , when depict in this way of life , seems similar or even identical to Luke ’s own Force projection in the final bit . The similarity could be noted with some imagery , but explicitly have Luke turn Snoke ’s thaumaturgy against the First Order makes it a moment more solid .

For those who love every part of the film , the sojourn toCanto Bightand its bustling gambling casino and lifelike grandeur is fun , philosophically poignant , and meaningful . For those detractors , it ’s an at long last irrelevant detour quest after the same slapstick and fatuousness as the prequel trilogy .
The point is , it ’s factious . Since the comic has to be efficient with storytelling for the saki of Thomas Nelson Page count , the Canto Bight sequences are limited to a fistful of them , far shorter than the film ’s variant .

Luke Isn’t (Completely) Cut Off From The Force
For all the reasons thatStar warfare : The Last Jedi ’s version of Luke Skywalker let down , one of the most essential is his remotion from , and defence of The Force . The novel , comics , and video games showing Luke growing more experient in his noesis of The Force made common sense , and in the final moments ofStar Wars : The Force Awakens , it seemed that Rey was meeting that same older , overbold , potent Jedi .
Instead , he was reveal to be anything but minute later , cast out his father ’s lightsaber over his shoulder , and returning to his hermit life style , denying a connexion to The Force . But the first consequence ofThe Last Jedicomic reveals the truth : that to refuse The Force was no easy task … and Luke remainssomewhatlinked to the larger universe of discourse .
Specifically , in him realizing that he had been " receive " not long before Rey get down her journey to Ahch - To . Here ’s part of Luke ’s monologue , which opens the series :
This is the final lesson of my Jedi grooming . Learned for myself , here on this ancient , forgotten island . That the only thing more difficult than learning to feel The Force , to let it in … is learning to jam it out .
Still , there are times when my greatest attempt is not enough . When The Force demands to be heard . As it does now . It verbalize to me , undeniable . A message . Or perhaps a warning . Something . Someone … has found me .
The comic serial publication should believably be sought out by rooter of Luke for his inner conflicts and emotions alone , with writer Gary Whitta folding in several larger themes . The most crucial , at least in explaining his disdain for the Jedi , is his spirit that he was"molded into a arm to confront and destruct their greatest enemy - my father . “Luke was used , as he attend it , and is determined to have no part in such teachings or temptations again .
Luke Finds Out Kylo Ren Killed Han Solo
All things considered , rooter were understandably thwarted to not only endure thedeath of Han Solo , but to know that Luke learned of his champion ’s death at the paw of his own prentice and nephew … In a scene the audience just did n’t get to see . That was remedied in aStar Wars : The Last Jedideleted scene , but it ’s here in the comic where it should always have been . And with one major unexampled detail .

In the deleted scene , Luke is strike with angriness and sadness at confirmation of Han ’s destruction . Internally , he realizes that it is only the first of many revelations he could have know , could have find , if he had not maintain The Force at bay . The fact that Rey ’s search for him try out more powerful may be telling , but the scene also prove Luke using The Force absent - mindedly . As Luke ’s emotions rise up , nearby dishful start to levitate and shake - only subsidence when Chewie embraces him . A nice feeling between honest-to-goodness friends , but also a meaningful glance at how erotic love can turn even good Jedi to storm - Luke included .
Luke Recognizes Rey is Basically a New Him
How one sense about the valet de chambre Luke Skywalker became is a matter of opinion , but it ’s intemperate to argue that the time he spends not saying anything , or doing anything but refusing to talk to Rey is the most substantial watch . Again , the privileged monologue comes through in the comedian … as well as actual dialogue , since Luke speaks to Rey like something a bit closer to a even somebody ( and not an actual troglodyte ) .
For starters , Luke arrogate R2 - D2 filled him in on Rey ’s backstory , set aside him to also note that her life is another reverberation of his own , and even his father ’s ( the pic simply has him say he will train her , and nothing else ) . Luke also realise Rey ’s eagerness to fight slots him into the Obi - Wan Kenobi role as history repeat itself . It does n’t immensely change the patch , but it ’s dainty to know Luke actually has gained some Wisdom of Solomon and perspective over the trend of his life .
Rey Doesn’t ‘Beat’ Luke in Battle
After Luke is finally able to see what Rey does - Kylo Ren physically present on Ahch - To ( a well - time eddy , Snoke ) - the pettishness boil over . Rey pray Luke to come with her to change state Kylo Ren back to the Christ Within , while Luke refuses . Words before long derive to blows , culminating in Rey calling on Luke ’s lightsaber , and pressing the previous Jedi Knight down to his back . Anotherloss for Luke , and a serious demo of Rey ’s superiority , despite so little training .
At least , that ’s the movie version of how it happened . According to one panel from creative person Michael Walsh , Luke Skywalker ends up on his back due specifically to a slip , not Rey ’s supremacy in staff - to - faculty fight . Some choose exclusion with the idea that Rey - through either skill or willpower - could beat Luke , arrogate it was ridiculous . According to this comic tweak , Rey may have gain from Luke ’s years , emotion , or confutable basis , if anything .
