LeGrindMax Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Yeah, I know there's a 95% chance Freaky Johnson has not played (or even heard about) TOR's KOTET/KOTFE expansions, but the similarities between broken TLJ Luke and exiled KOTET/KOTFE Satele are there... Both take personal blame for the failure of the Order against a sudden new enemy, both have exiled themselves, both act now weird and different from their prime years, both have given up and are (kind of) ready to unceremoniously pass the torch on to somebody else (Rey and the Outlander, respectively) Seems curious, at the very least; thoughts?

You just described ESB Yoda too. The "Old Hero now a half senile exile/reluctant mentor" is not a new trope at all ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BullitClub Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 (edited) Kylo does what happens at the beginning of KotFE though almost to a T. If you don't kneel to the Emperor, Kylo and Arcann are almost identical in that. Edited December 24, 2017 by BullitClub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eli_Porter Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 It's a movie trope as old as time... Yoda and Luke, Obi-wan and Luke, Gandalf and Frodo, Ronin in Kurosawa films, and lots more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
