Right! It's Lego general grievous who has the red, I always confuse the toy stuff, like I'll forever misremember Obi Wan having an Amber lightsaber

In your defense, pre-special editions he has a white saber in at least one scene in ANH, which probably is the eventual inspiration for Ahsoka's non-Jedi sabers

I used to have this Obi wan micro machine guy who absolutely had an Amber saber but it was probably originally white and just yellowed with age

On the old (1977) Kenner figure, Luke's saber was yellow, so maybe Rey's is a callback to that? Note that the saber is actually *part* of Luke's hand, so there's kind of a Cronenberg thing going onpic.twitter.com/6vgqkBWTrz

I just don't get why she doesn't reforge the Skywalker saber, if she had to do that, with her preferred color. It's both established new-canon of a high level and common sense that if you rebuild a saber you make the crystal the color you want

The whole burying thing makes no sense either. Eventually some Jawas with metal detectors are going to find them eventually. Kinda feel like TRoS should end on Naboo, anyway.

I guess they were going with "all the trilogies end with twin suns," as if that was true of any trilogy other than the prequels prior to this

Kinda feels like the tattooine homestead would be more compelling if everything was more unintended? Like if Luke really was just some random farm boy and Rey was just some random scavenger instead of all being a comical web of destiny

Yeah this would actually be a cool moment if it weren't loaded with so much literal significance It's Rey going back to a place very much like the one she grew up in, but not quite the same A childhood home and a family that she never actually had

They kept gesturing at this idea that they never fully committed to because it doesn't actually make sense, that she's completely analogous to a real life fan of Star Wars

She has a doll of Pilot Luke Skywalker and everything She's supposed to be feeling the same things when she arrives at the Lars homestead as we are

Someone (I think it was James Adomian) did a bit as Lucas where he's talking about how there are literally whole scenes in the new SW movies where the characters play w/SW toys (see also Jyn's Stormtrooper doll in RO, Broom Boy in TLJ)

Honestly if they'd gone harder with that the reveal in TRoS might have worked better If you actually set up Palpatine's role as Hitler in the movie enough that there's something to directly react to If we'd seen people spitting at the mention of his name etc
