In Empire Strikes Back, Luke's lightsaber is gone for good when it falls on Cloud City.

How the fuck did that orange cunt retrieve it? That seems like an impossible task. And even if they did somehow manage to find it, how did they know it was Luke's?

Seems like a dumb plot device desu senpai

The Warcraft movie is going to have a magic legendary sword, so Star Ones needed one too.
>>
Luke's clone, Luuke got it. She got it from him

You do know that you can always make new lightsabers right?

In the 32 years since ROTJ I'm sure he had many lightsabers.

Luke wasn't. Why pretend the lightsaber was?

it got sucked into one of those pipes similar that luke went into

maz was a janitor in cloud city cleaning up that pipe when it arrived

>>64181207

Luke almost fell to his death if not for gripping a weather vane. Are you implying a lightsaber has hands?

His hand and hilt were goners. Anything else is a story written by a 3 year old along with Star Wars toys.

Simple, bad writing.

What makes it even worse is how the lightaabe
>>
>>64181303
He fell into a tube that opened beneath him onto a weather vane. A tube that didn't include the lightsaber or his hand.

I'm implying it ended up someplace else, and wasn't flushed.
>>
>>64181331

What makes it even worse is how the lightsaber is able to "speak" to Rey. It's fucking dumb.

why would it be special anyway? can they not construct lightsabers anymore?

haven't seen the film btw

You see his hand and saber fall in the movie. The script and novel say the same thing about Luke watching his father's lightsaber fall through the clouds and questioning his parentage after what Vader has told him.

>>64181331
How is it bad writing? Some maintenance guy on the cloud city found it. An authentic Jedi lightsaber is probably worth a lot of money in the SW universe so he pawned it and it eventually found it's way to Maz.
>>
>>64181163
Could have fallen into the backseat of a passing speeder or ship. Could have gotten stuck in the grill of a freighter.
>>
It wasn't gone for good - someone retrieved it.
According to the visual dictionary it fell into the industrial depths of cloud city where it was found. Star Wars is full of improbable coincidences, where people and things cross paths against all likelihood. Like Luke meeting the droids on Tatooine. We put this down to the will of the force.

It's explained in the movie OP.
A good question...
for another time.

How has no one in this thread explained this yet? Look at the lightsaber hilt. It's not the lightsaber that Anakin used in the prequels and that Luke used in ESB. They never said it was. It's Vader's lightsaber, reworked to be blue.
>>
>a solid metal object fell
>that must mean it was destroyed
That's not how it works. The bottom of Cloud City isn't a volcano or black hole.
>>
>>64181163
His lightsaber did not fall out the chute Luke fell out off.

His lightsaber fell into something else in Cloud City, and someone found it stuck somewhere, sold it, that person sold it to someone else, yada yada yada, 30 years later a talking orange got it.

IT'S NOT THE LIGHTSABER FROM CLOUD CITY! omfg

deleted ROTJ scene
>>
The lightsaber, still clutched by Luke Skywalker's hand, had become lodged in one of Cloud City's lower air shafts and eventually was recovered by a maintenance drone. The drone deposited the hand and the lightsaber in Smelting Core D. There, it was discovered by Groggin, the Smelting Core's supervisor.

Groggin sold it to someone, who sold it to someone, eventually Orange either got wind of it being found, or just bought it and figured out who's it was. She seems to be force sensitive anyway so maybe she sought it out and found it
>>
>>64181163
Luke's hand sold it to razzmatazz.
>>
>>64181163
Having a literal passing of the torch through the lightsaber was appropriate symbolically.

I dunno, that Ultimate Star Wars art book that came out made cut animals from Bespin canon. Maybe something that floats around in the lower layers ate it.

I don't get how people can't get that the explanation is really something simple and insignificant like that one.

It doesn't matter either way really.
>>
>>64182910
>>64182910
Because for some reason these days everyone needs everything explained to them and when the explanation is simple, so simple you don't even need to explain it, people get shirty because they didn't think of something so simple.

So much of the 'plot holes' in ep VII are so easily explained but everyone is up in arms. It's not an amazing movie by any stretch, it's a fun space adventure which is what star wars has always been.
>>
>>64182974
I wonder if those are the same people who believe in conspiracy theories? Because a simple explanation is just not convoluted enough.

Probably. They are always the kind of people who boycott things like star wars thinking it'll make any sort of difference. Honestly, Ray is highly force sensitive so its fine she fights the mind games, she's spent her whole life scavenging and learning mechanical shit so it's fine she's naturally adaptive to tech.

It's super ironic that everyone bashes ep I,II,II because reasons. But if you forget the things those films taught you a lot of EPVII shit is totally passable to the myth and legend style of the OT.

we don't fucking know yet

why do moviegoers have to have every little thing explained to them in expository dialogue? if you want a director that treats you like a retard and leaves nothing to the imagination go watch james camerons' avatar.
>>
>>64183950
Again the irony is that if they got a film like that, they would bitch that it leaves nothing to the imagination.
