Plus the Emperor wasn't really distracted at the time. I'm sure he would have sensed Luke trying to pull a fast one.

exactly... Didn't pick up on it until watching that scene again. Snoke was seeing what kylo was doing, but kylo was masking it and doing it with his light saber in one hand and the other hand turning rey's..... Very sneaky [Reply]

Oh for fucks sake. You guys are making up shit as you go along to justify your movie going experience. [Reply]
Goddamn...Mark and Carrie were so great at the beginning of this. I just cried all over again.

His first lesson from Yoda was “wars not make one great.” His proudest moment was redeeming his father and his most shameful one was igniting his saber against Kylo. His proudest moment was putting away his saber and his most shameful one was igniting it.
Creating the projection to allow the Resistance to escape is the most Luke thing ever. It might not be as satisfying to our geekiness as seeing him ignite the green saber and kick ass, but it does the character right.
