‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi’s Luke Skywalker Vs. Kylo Ren Gets 16 Bit Version

Written by  on January 7, 2018

At this point I’m standing my ground against the naysayers as a Star Wars fan and a lover of the overall story.

‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi’ Finally Explains The Force

Thirty-five years ago, Return of the Jedi took Star Wars fans to the Great Pit of Carkoon, where Jabba the Hutt attempted to execute Luke Skywalker and Han Solo by dropping them into the belly of the sarlacc. Even in 1983, this monstrous hole in the desert was enough to give anyone a teeth phobia.

Economics alone are a strong argument for the Rebels to go hybrid; they cannot build a Death Star of their own nor fight an Imperial fleet head-to-head.
