Yeah, but compare to like "The Empire Strikes Back" you know what that's about going in to the theatre in 1980, just like something like "Flash Gordon: and the Revenge of Ming" or whatever, "The Last Jedi" evokes a sense of mystery and possibility that the classic titles don't.

I dunno about that, Return of the Jedi sounds like it could mean a new character actually showing up, having it just mean Luke himself becomes a Jedi was kind of a letdown (Because they didn't nail down that "There is another" meant Leia until they were writing it)

To be fair, I think a lot of people would argue that the Jedi who is returning is Anakin Skywalker.

Well, he returned and then went away again in any case ;)

OR in the Ellie-elseworlds-Star-Wars, he returns as everyone's favorite scavenger!

I mean consider this: Rey has this whole thing in TFA about rejecting the Skywalker saber due to some trauma. Palpatine barely ever interacted with that thing. It has significance only to Luke, Vader, and the hundreds of innocents Vader killed with it

Plus it means we get to a) have Rey be connected to a legacy character without explicitly retconning TLJ's "you're no one" conclusion, and b) we get to redo Anakin being The Chosen One without him literally being virgin birth space jesus this time

Precisely! (My explanation there is Anakin was an intentional corruption of the Chosen One legacy by Sidious creating someone who fit the parameters but not in the way the Force wanted)

I think a trans reincarnation narrative is a little too advanced for Disney what with them seeing a two second lesbian kiss as a triumphant act of courage

As I imagined it it wasn't all that trans. It could be left ambiguous whether it was a 1:1 same person or whether anyone with a Chosen One "template" shares certain memories

I mean, it's not dissimilar in my mind from Avatar: the Last Airbender, which gave Aang an immediate female precursor
