All good reasons why you shouldn't try to apply this level of minutiae to the science of Star Wars.

It doesn't exist within our laws of physics and never has.

And I don't really. Loved that scene too. A couple of little things I'd have done differently but nothing to cry about.

So many don't realize how poetic this scene was.

It was vintage Luke. He didn't beat the emperor by striking him down with his lightsaber, he beat him by throwing his lightsaber away.

EDIT: Whoops, commented on the wrong leak scene. I was referring to his last stand.

Yeah, all Luke had to do was turn this lightsaber around 90 degrees...dumbass!

Luke didn't have the benefit of seeing Kylo's laser sword spin in front of him to give him the idea.

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

"Are you trying to spin this lightsaber next to me around, young Skywalker? Heh heh heh heh heh...you are a clever boy, but I was not BORN YESTERDAY!!!!"

BZZZZZZZZZTTTT

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

What?

What I said is exactly true.

Star Wars is full of shit that shits on our understanding of physics.

It's not important to the story.

No, that's exactly what happened. He duped Snoke.

Clever boy.

Luke vs Kylo

Goddamn...Mark and Carrie were so great at the beginning of this. I just cried all over again.

Also...yeah...

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.
