The
following are my theories about Luke Skywalker's location before seeing Episode
7:
#1: After winning the war
against the empire, Luke returned to planet Hoth and found the snow monster
that captured him in episode 5. They talked through their differences and
eventually fell in love, producing a litter of powerful Jedi snow monsters. Is
this gross? Maybe. But not as gross as doing the same thing with his sister.
#2: Luke suffered from post war
trauma and needed a way to deal with that, as anyone would if you found out
your arch nemesis was your father who then risked his life in the end for you,
after spending years trying to kill you and your friends. Understandable. To
get through it, he moved to Endor and lives peacefully with the ewoks. Since
ewoks are basically humanoid puppies, they had a similar effect on him as
puppies on veterans i.e. helped rehabilitate him into a non-war lifestyle.
#3: Luke finally remembered
when he passionately kissed his sister and needed to go digest that. Enough
said.
After seeing episode 7:
Holy crap. What a great movie.
All those theories were wrong but I have something more interesting to talk
about. About six minutes into the movie, the fire alarm went off and the screen
went black. Everyone groaned and got up to file out of the building. We were
outside in the cold for five minutes, the firemen did their thing, and we went
back inside. Mild annoyance, but not the end of the world. We go back in and
sit in our seats. As everyone else is filing in, a guy starts freaking out. Two
girls had taken his brother's seat and he was not happy about it. He started
shouting at everyone and cursing. There were plenty of young children in
theater (who were about to have their first Star Wars experience) so people
were not cool with this guy cursing and scaring their kids. A different guy
threw a punch at him and then it was mess of bodies and concerned theater
goers. Finally, both people left the theater and we got to continue. There were
a lot of emotions in that theater. Those people waited years to see a movie
that was being delayed by a fire alarm and a random angry dude. That wasn't
cool. But you know what was cool? The movie. I won't spoil anything, but it's
worth your time and money. Go see it.
