Find your tribe in a Sea of Creativity
acolyte spoilers under the cut
I just wanna talk about that whole plaguis thing again.
Now, what I HAVE seen some people discuss is that the mystery planet where Qimir lives is actually the same unknown planet where Luke buggers off to in ep 8 to die in exile. The origin for all the jedi, etc.
What I HAVEN'T seen discussion about is how the shot with Plagueis looks a LOT like the sequence from ep. 8 with Luke telling Rey that the jedi need to end.
First, you have the inside shot from the crevice. inside, looking out. the shapes of the rocks seem pretty similar to me anyway. plagueis's claw-hands come creeping out.
then, you've got the outside looking in shot, where we see Plagueis's face. looking out at the one thing (Osha) that not only spells his eternal future, but also the end of jedi (since a. Osha directly turns against the jedi and b. the whole vergance thing would allow him to rise to power in opposition to the jedi eternally). The quest for that power would almost destroy the jedi through palpatine and vader, you know?
idk. something about the fall of the jedi beginning in that shot with Plagueis's first glimpse at hope for immortality and the end of the Jedi juxtaposed with Luke eventually ending up framed in almost the same way, wishing the jedi would just end. . . it seems intentional to me.
maybe it's just random brain sauce, but I think there could be something significant there. I don't think i'm capable of fluent literary analysis though so I probably didn't explain it well.
