Notes

We're approximately halfway through the sequel trilogy and this represents Rey switching gears to choose to opt out of her old weapon and commit herself to this new lifestyle. Why does Luke choose now to stop and take notice? People who have tried to use lightsabers and who weren't as in touch with the Force as Rey (Han and Finn) were far more Clumsy. Even though Luke isn't in touch with the Force, he can easily see that Rey is. Seeing this is swaying his opinion of her. Plus, whether he helps her or not she's still going to try and learn. The next lesson is a discouraging one to bring her down from the pedestal. Pete: Next lesson: Jedi are dumb. Plus she keeps trashing the place. The parallels between being a trained musician and being a Jedi. Even if you can do step 10, you still need to go back and master the early steps rather than hacking your way through the middle. We don't usually see lightsabers in the bright outdoors. Rey's lightsaber looks almost white in the bright sunlight. See also the change of Luke's lightsaber in Return of the Jedi from blue to green so it stand out. Better. We don't usually see lightsabers this close up. It brings up the question of what is just the glow and where is the actual cutting blade start. Quit technology for the lightsaber prop has evolved over the years, now they're able to use commercially available replica lightsabers. There is still some post-production to the lightsaber effects but less than previous movies. Chrysanthia spots on hermit Luke there a big fan. Hermit Luke gets new music which blends together exceptionally well with Rey's theme almost to suggest there's some kind of figurative relationship there. Recall that being a Hermit is a very common thing for a Jedi master. In some ways it's inevitable that this would happen to him, he was so happy go lucky I had so much hope and wait on his shoulders as a Young Man. Grisanti doesn't really relate to either Luke or Ray and doesn't see themselves in them. That doesn't mean they're not relatable characters but who said he does not do them self as a hero. Having Luke be a Hermit humanizes him and shows that he's not just a perfect Instagram Jedi but a person. Resume thing was a huge fan of all of the EU Jedi Academy books, but as an adult's this Luke makes more sense. Luke makes it clear to Ray that she needs to lead her own Journey, he's not an overbearing teacher. He's making sure that she doesn't go down the road that he did by testing persistence. Briefly aggression into what would have happened if Luke had stayed on date about with you to finish his training. Grisanti is of the opinion that balance would still eventually be achieved in the long run. Recalled that originally Mark Hamill wanted to use the lightsaber one-handed but Lucas insisted use a two-handed as if it were heavy Medieval sword. It seems like he didn't stick to that as even in the prequels people were using lightsabers one-handed. Metal notes to end 10 refers to positions of your hands on the steering wheel of a car following the layout of a clock they don't actually teach those positions in driver's ed anymore it's now more like 4 and 8. Music Talk. Music in a film has the ability to affect our perception of time when there's no score we assume that a scene is happening real-time at whereas if the score is sweeping an orchestral it implies that more time is passing than is what actually on the screen. Oh come on We get the two main versions of Rey's theme the Chimes, and then Rey on jakku sliding down the Sand Hill. Then it changes keys, it goes up a key indicating the moment has escalated. Then it morphs into. Luke's theme. Specifically Luke in Exile. Think back to when Luke was pole vaulting. Her laser sword session get a button ending rather than a Fade Out. It works both visually and thematically. Pete tends not to notice the music unless it's distractingly bad normally he just gets swept up in it. Peep quotes 7-Layer Princess Leia Burrito I made it. Look up Pete's vanity link for swm music minutes. Playlist plug for Christian TV show in podcast and YouTube form. They release new episodes in conjunction with the Stars minutes so you can listen to the five episodes of swim and then right afterward listen to chrysanthi's show. Call the hotline and let us hear from you.
