Times /tv/ has been BTFO. I'll start.

Ok, that's fine. I'll go watch something else I guess

Star Wars is a kids franchise

Well, Anakin's dead, what's the problem here?

Don't lecture me Obi-Wan

SHUT UP NERDS STAR WARS BELONGS TO WOMYN NOW

I don't see the problem. It belongs to her now. The the headline is just saying who it belongs to in-universe chronologically. Quit trying to stir shit out of nothing.

Why does this matter again? It's just a prop, autismos

>“In general,” Hidalgo explains, “a lightsaber belongs to the person who constructed it.” Obviously not the case here with Rey. “In The Force Awakens, Maz says that the saber is calling to Rey now. Whether or not it’s literally calling to her to become hers or it’s calling to her because she knows it will be taken back to Luke—we’ll see,” Hidalgo hints.

>Either way, the blade is no longer considered Anakin’s lightsaber by the Lucasfilm marketing department. It has now officially been dubbed “Rey’s.” As for that green lightsaber Luke made for himself, it has yet to resurface in any of the marketing materials surrounding the current trilogy. Has Luke abandoned it along with, potentially, his faith in the Jedi way? Will we see Luke wield it again in The Last Jedi?

>Hidalgo says vaguely yet reassuringly: “We take to heart the lesson that Obi-Wan tried to impart to Anakin: ‘This weapon is your life.’ We’re not ones to lose track of lightsabers.”

From the article:
>Either way, the blade is no longer considered Anakin’s lightsaber by the Lucasfilm marketing department. It has now been officially dubbed ‘Rey’s’.

Oh, so now lightsabers have minds or something. Idk, I think I'll just stick with the originals when not everything had to have a backstory

I guarantee you he's a balding bearded baby face cuck who wears glasses. Hands down guaranteed. You'll also find him posting on Twitter about his every bowel movement and entire blog posts on there about the most stupid shit imaginable, as if he actually thinks he garners respect from anybody.

Also, he is either friend zoned by some 2/10 looking STD riddled dye-haired women with glasses, or he's being pegged by a feminist white hating womyn.

>>83223444
Wow as a woman it's really sexist for star wars and Disney to suggest that another girl can't create her own success, but has to rely on the man that came before her

I mean, it was also Luke's Lightsaber at one point. I see no problem with this aside from all the click bait headlines and shit. I don't see how anything can belong to a dead person anyway.

I wish Martin killed her off like he planned but at least we've got based Aegon, does what Daenerys did in a single book that is taking her seven.

Luke didn't make one at first. And force users easily use other light sabers.

I'd just as soon they skipped "making your own" as, unless they reveal something new, there's nothing to be gained from wasting time on that.

Why would you want that saber in the first place?
It was used to murder countless children and Luke got btfo while using it.
One of the many terrible plot points of TFA, it fell out of cloud city into what fucking space?
Should've used Luke's green saber instead.

>>83223680
Actually a raunchy sex scene or two would liven it up no end

it's the stark trek problem of bland sterile sci fi where any claim of any characters having genitals is dubious

False. You make your own lightsaber. The lightsaber belongs to the one who made it. For example, that was never Luke's lightsaber. It was his father's.

>>83226008

It's just for marketing purposes, anon. Actual fans and characters in-universe know it as Anakin Skywalker's lightsaber.

If Anakin made it, yes. Even in lukes hands it was anakins. The original creator and owner is why it gets the name attributed to it. If Rey made a lightsaber, everyone would call that one Rey's. even if luke or kylo ended up using it.

Lucas managed to gather some of best silverscreen swordsman of the age and liam "Rob Roy" neelson knows his shit, his hilt is pure utilitarian.

It is not her saber any more than it is Luke's. In order to claim the lightsaber as yours you must build it. In building it you infuse a portion of your force powers into it binding it to you.

Whatever else you might say about it, this advertising program has been successful: I am fully convinced that I the new Star Wars films aren't for me, so I won't be going to see them.

Now all Disney has to do is convince women that they want to go see a dumb action sci-fi flick and not whatever rom-com or horror movie is playing opposite it.

not him, but it's not just one object important to a central character. that's fine.

everything in Star Wars gets way too wanked over. random dudes appearing in one scene have to have a backstory. there's no good space combat miniatures game out there so i picked up x-wing on a whim (game's alright), and after a bunch of games I start looking up who these pilots are and they're a bunch of people who appeared in The Force Awakens for five seconds - the asian girl X-wing pilot and the fat dude from Alias, as extra pilot fillers and they have fucking pages of backstory.

>>83224192

To be fair you'd write pages of backstory for characters who barely appear, in case they do need to be used. It's decent character creation/writing. Even if it's not used right then, it can be later. Maybe those characters had more lines or something else to do on various iterations of the script, you need characterization (backstory, mannerism etc) written to hand to the actor so they can act.
