Probably May 5th now for most of you, lol. I think there has been every obstacle you can imagine that got in the way of this video from being released. Nevertheless, the force prevailed!
Again, sorry for the wait everyone, I was getting around a nasty worldwide block on this video from our beloved friends from Disney. Thankfully, I finally got around it!
Before I get into it, let's all share this to Mark Hamill! I'd love for him to see one of my videos again, especially this one!
Anyway, this is a tribute about not only Luke Skywalker, but also a bit about our beloved Master Yoda himself. These were two Grand Masters that fostered two different eras of Jedi, but failed them in similar ways.
Now, I myself have many issues with the creative decisions Rian Johnson took with this movie. It tonally struggled throughout its narrative which allowed the movie to be unbalanced. There were also other subplots that really weighed the movie down as well. However, most of the scenes with Luke Skywalker I completely adored. The scene with Luke failing Ben took me awhile to really accept, but in the end I finally understood.
Fear has driven the Jedi for so long and most of them didn't even know it. The motives and intentions were just, but it became their own undoing. Luke and Yoda both suffered from their fear of the dark side, but that fear was what ultimately created it. Anakin was the victim of that system, and Luke understood that, which is why he thought it was best for him to die and the Jedi with it. Not just because of the Jedi order, but mostly because of his hate for himself and how miserably he failed.
This movie taught me that even the best of us can hit rock bottom, but it's what we do with that situation that truly shows our character. Luke's arc in The Last Jedi was great because he learned the importance of forgiving himself and making amends for past failures. It wasn't about throwing away the past, it was about learning from it in order to move forward.
Thank you all so much and I hope you enjoy this video!! May the Force be with you all, always.

Here's the link to the newest Ahsoka tribute! - https://youtu.be/961qYQGoj4I

“I’m just glad you’re here, at the end.” That hurts knowing that was the last scene Mark Hamill would ever get to film with Carrie Fisher
-
“I failed you, Anakin.” “I failed you, Ben.”
-
“The greatest teacher failure is.” After a failed marriage, losing my home and losing my dream job all in the same year, theses words have never been more true. I’ve reflected and am in the process of making the changes needed to grow as a person! Powerful statement by Master Yoda!
-
0:23 flashing to Anakin’s frustration when Luke becomes impatient is such a great touch.
-
"No my friend, failure is not the end; it is a necessary part of the path." - Jedi Master Eno Cordova
-
“I am a Jedi, like my father before me” best line in Star Wars in my opinion
-
Leia “I know my son is gone” Luke “Putting his hand on Darth Vader no ones ever really gone” Instant tears
-
"We are what they grow beyond. That is the true burden of all masters." It's heartbreaking to hear Yoda address the audience. We grow beyond these characters, even if they helped form us in our youth, and in our loneliest moments.
-
Yoda went from “HEhEHe HoHoOhO, little creature I am.” To “Great teacher I am, noble jedis I train.”
-
Yoda: "You are reckless" Obiwan: "So was I, if you remember..." Fade from Ewan McGregor's smile into Sir Alec Guinness' ....That one got me good.

Oh my god I just realized a beautiful irony: Luke's looking to the horizon, saved Vader. Luke refused to accept the present of Vader being a machine only capable of evil and kept looking ahead where he turned him back into Anakin. The irony is that Luke's looking ahead with Ben is what turned him into Ren. Luke's looking ahead and only seeing how he could further fail and screw things up more is what stopped him from going back out there. That was Luke's failure. Always looking to the horizon and never being here and now. When Luke realized this, he found the best way to help the future was by saving the present. So he did. He saved Leia, whom he knew would be the one to save Ben.

This had me crying like a baby. I’ve tried to follow Yoda’s teachings my entire life
-
Mark Hamill loved Luke so much he tried so hard to keep him in character even when he was questioning the direction of his character. For that, Mark Hamill, I Iove you so much
-
"Skywalker, still looking to the horizon." Like Father, Like Son. So beautifully portrayed.
-
Me not liking Last Jedi then watching this: "Well, when you put it like that."
-
I’m not a fan of what R. Johnson did with TLJ, but this has helped remind me how relatable Luke really is. Experiencing extreme dark times in this life are inevitable; and only thru love, patience and humility can we chose to preserve thru them. Thank you Mark Hamill for portraying one of the greatest hero’s of all time. Thank you HFP. This was absolutely beautiful.
-
“I will not leave you here I got to save you” “You already have” 😭
-
That foreshadowing of yoda saying Luke will be afraid is amazing
-
The moment at the end when Padme says “Luke, oh Luke” brought tears to my eyes almost as if he sees his mother right before he dies
