A blink-and-you-miss-it moment Star Wars: The Last Jedi shockingly reveals that Kylo Ren foreshadowed Luke Skywalker’s death at the end of the film. THE Star Wars sequel trilogy proved to be particularly controversial among Star Wars films and TV shows, largely because of Luke Skywalker’s handling of the character. In the first sequence of the film, Star Wars: The Force AwakensLuke was almost entirely absent. This was just the beginning of the complaints regarding Luke’s case. Star Wars arc of the sequel trilogy.
In The Last Jedi in particular, it was revealed that Luke had lost all hope in the Jedi and the galaxy – a complete reversal of how he was in the original trilogy, especially Return of the Jedi. Luke’s death in The Last Jedi then it proved to be much more controversial. After using the Force to astral project and trick Kylo Ren, Luke disappeared, just like Obi-Wan Kenobi once did. While many may have found this ending unsatisfying, a moment of The Last Jedi reveals that Kylo Ren anticipated this outcome from precisely that Force power.
Kylo Ren predicted Luke Skywalker’s death in a surprising scene
Rey and Kylo Ren’s Force bonds, in which they connected through the Force dyad and appeared to be in the same space together even when they were on separate planets, began in The Last Jedi. At first, they had no idea what was causing this connection (nor did the audience, as such Force power had not been seen in the film). Star Wars until now). As the nature of the Force dyad and these bonds had not yet been revealed, Kylo Ren mentioned another of the Star Wars Force powers: astral projection.
This power, which allows the Force user to appear in a corporeal form even though it is just an illusion, would mean that Rey would project herself to appear where Kylo Ren was. Very quickly, Kylo Ren dismisses this possibility, saying: “You’re not doing it. The effort would kill you.” Kylo Ren was right that this wasn’t what connected the two, but more importantly, This comment directly foreshadowed Luke’s eventual death in The Last Jedi.
Luke maintained the projection longer than anyone else could have done
Until Star Wars mocked Luke Skywalker Last Jedi death. In LEGO Star Wars: Rebuild the GalaxyLuke mockingly references using the Force so hard that he died. Despite the jokes, this was truly an incredible feat of the Force. Clearly, given Kylo Ren’s previous comment, this type of astral projection was extremely exhausting. Yes, Rey was new to using the Force, and that likely informed Kylo Ren’s belief that it would kill her, but it made it clear just how strenuous this Force power was.
No other Force user could have performed such extensive astral projection.
Although it brought about his end, Luke’s ability to not only astral project himself, but also to maintain the projection for so long and engage in a ‘fight’ (however minimal the actual fight may have been) is truly impressive. Without a doubt, no other Force user could have performed such extensive astral projection. Although Luke Skywalker’s death in Star Wars: The Last Jedi may have been controversial, Kylo Ren’s foreshadowing reveals just how impressive this feat of the Force was.
