New Behind-The-Scenes Clip Features Conversation Between Luke & Rey

A behind-the-scenes clip for filming Star Wars: The Last Jedi at Skellig Michael Island in Ireland – which doubles for the oceanic planet of Ahch-To – has just been unveiled as part of a Noovie preview at Cinemark. While the clip is only online in poor quality, the featurette features some interesting dialogue between Rey and Luke.

 

 

Quick word of warning is that this will probably spoil some minor elements of the movie. If you’re fine with knowing some of the smaller stuff about this movie going into it, then feel free to soldier on ahead.

 

 

 

 

Obviously, this scene is set after Luke has reunited with Chewbacca (and possibly R2-D2 as well), as he doesn’t seem to be shocked to see his old Wookiee pal alongside this girl that he barely knows. But what’s interesting is that the dialogue hints at Luke’s reasoning for his pilgrimage to an island planet in the middle of nowhere:

Rey: We need your help.

Luke: You think that I came to the most unfindable place in the Galaxy for no reason at all?

 

The way the dialogue is cut seems to indicate that there’s some more footage that we’re not seeing here for whatever reason between Rey asking for help and Luke stating that he has his reasons for going to Ahch-To, but for now, it can be presumed that this happens fairly early on in the movie. But with a 2.5 hour runtime, it’s not like they’ll need to rush things for what could be one of the most daring Star Wars stories ever told.

        Question. What do you expect in a 2 second clip. I mean It’s this type of nitpicking that almost makes me ashamed to be a fan. What do you people want? The word “Unfindable” this insufferable but the line “Cute boyfriend you gotta cute boyfriend?” works for you. Un-fucking-believeable.

            “Too Marvel”. I have read this several times, colors, look?, jokes to what else?

            The color grading is no near Marvels based from trailers.

            Marvel have done 17 movies, Winter Soldier is nothing like Thor Ragnarok in style or tone. Jokes in Thor 1 is very different from James Gunns Guardians. So they are different from each other.

            So what are you exactly mean by “too Marvel”?

      Unfortunatly that puts you in a position where you expect the worst while hoping for the best.
      If the movie is good, chances are it will take you a good part of the movie to start appreciating what you see, so you won’t enjoy it fully.
      If the movie is bad, your hopes will be crushed and you won’t find any redeeming part to it. You will then leave really disappointed (even though you where “preparing for the worst”)

      In my opinion, the best is always to go in with little to no expectations and just wait and see. I know it’s not an easy thing to achieve though.

    Interesting dialogue; it establishes he wasn’t running. He is looking for something to help. Given Rey’s plea, Luke’s reply sets up an angle that’s more than just hermit.

      Yup. Because if that was the case, then I’d be a little let down. There is a reason why we are seeing the first Jedi temple in the first place. And the Luke I’d know wouldn’t just abandon his friends and the galaxy, if it were not for a very good reason.

      Because, I’d like to think as he got older; Luke became more pragmatic and forward thinking, much like Obi-wan was.

    I saw that a lot of people were complaining about the word “unfindable” here and how it doesn’t fit. I actually feel the same as a non-native speaker. Sounds really out of place to me for some reason.

      Though I’m not a native english speaker myself, I had no such feelings towards that word. It may be because my first language is french and we have a word equivalent for “unfindable” that is frequently used in conversation.

          *French*
          A vrai dire, je ne suis pas français, mais suisse.
          La tournure de phrase est particulière, mais pas fausse. Sachant que Luke a vécu les dernières années isolé du reste de la galaxie, sur une planète n’ayant aucun lien avec les autres, avec un peuple alien ayant sans doute sa propre langue et que les livres qu’il lisait étaient très anciens….il est probable que ceci ait influencé sa manière de parler.

          *English*
          Actually, I’m not french but swiss.
          The way it’s said is unusual, but not wrong. Knowing Luke’s been living the last few years isolated from the rest of the galaxy, on a planet with no link to the others, with an alien people probably having their own language and that the books he read where very old…it seems logical it would have influenced the way he speaks.

      It’s not really about the wording. It’s about what fits the character, and Luke isn’t exactly the academic type. He grew up on a farm, he’s a space hillbilly. Unfindable is very much what someone like him would say.

    I like unfindable. It’s archaic and like someone couldn’t find a synonym.

      Exactly! People often forget about that. And while you could argue during the 30 years he educated himself, that focus was barely on formal speaking and writing. But more on Jedi history, training and philosophy.

      I mean Legends Luke even had this issue to where his inner farm boy would come out.

    It makes me think of the Doctor Who story Family Of Blood where he hides himself so deeply his enemies can’t find him. Not out of fear but as a kindness to THEM as he knows what will happen should they meet Maybe Luke isn’t running. Maybe he protecting his Nephew the only way he can.

          Sorry if my answer seemed abrupt, it was meant to be conversational, sometimes it’s easier when you’re in the same room with people! I didn’t mean to dismiss your comment.

          I’m sure the family element is in play as well – whether Luke feels guilty about letting Leia’s only son down, or whether he doesn’t want to kill Kylo, or whether he’s looking for an answer to help break Kylo free from Snoke’s control.

          I also remember one of the very first ‘leaks’ that came out for The Force Awakens said that one of Luke’s students (they speculated it was his son) was ‘under cover’ for the First Order, to try and help Luke bring them down, but the student went too far and Luke was angry/disappointed with how much bad stuff they had done.

          I wonder if Luke initially encouraged Kylo to investigate Snoke, and then Snoke twisted Kylo to his way of thinking?

    My question is, if it is publicly known that there is one place that qualifies as THE MOST UNFINDABLE place in the galaxy, wouldn’t you look there first?

      You are taking things a little literally. It’s not publicly known that it is unfindable. It’s a figure of speech.

      Also, it requires a route, using navigational charts. This was in TFA.

        I literally never take things literally. Also, I never understood why it required a route to get there. It’s a planet. In space. Can’t you just approach it from any angle/side.

          No, you can’t. Hyperspace lanes require navigating around planets, black holes, stars, etc…

          Remember in ANH when Han explains this to Luke while they are fleeing Tatooine?

          No one knows where the first Jedi temple is and even if they did know where, how to get there is another thing.

            So you COULD get there from any angle if you’re going slow enough to avoid dangerous hyperspace obstacles, but then you would be going so slow you would never get there. OK, that makes sense. You have literally just enlightened me.

          We have to keep in mind that the galaxy is very big and not all of it is fully known.
          People rarely venture out of the established Hyperspace routes.
          Trying to find a new one is quite dangerous.

          In this case, I think it’s actually an old route that’s been forgotten. It’s likely nobody knew how to get to Ahch-To, nor where it was, or that it was the place where the first Jedi temple was built.

          This is why it is “unfindable”.

    “You think that I came to the most unfindable place in the Galaxy for no reason at all?”

    ” I’ve seen this raw strength only once before. It didn’t scare me enough then. It does now.”

    something about this and other bits of dialogue we’ve heard is weird. awkwardly phrased.

    Did Lucas ghost write?

      Personally, I’m fine with the word itself and its delivery. But knowing Rian Johnson, he probably got several takes of that scene. And really, given how it seems like that was the actual first day of shooting, I can see Mark being rusty.

      I know this is an anecdotical, but when I used to do stage performances for shows; it would always take quite a bit for me to get into character and deliver the lines I had.

      So while I understand your concern, I’m hardly worried about this.

        I think It’s the “at all” part that feels weird. Why not just “for no reason”. The “at all” is superfluous and doesnt feel like natural speaking.

        It’s nit picky yes. But the writing could be more concise.

    I like what I am seeing. I know some people are nitpicking unfindable, but I am fine with the line. And really, just from those lines I am already more sold. Because, unlike The Force Awakens, the line delivery and actual lines themselves felt natural. But that’s just my view. I will need to wait and see.

    As for Skelig Michael, much as I enjoy that location a part of me is actual fearful of it. I have heard stories of people going to that place and nearly slipping/ falling into the water. And given how Mark Hamill almost did that while filming TLJ; a part of me is relived that he didn’t fall; a part of me knows deep down that if I had the chance to go, I would, but I’d be scared out of my mind.

      A lot of people tend to forget that SWs, both trilogies do have some really hooky lines. Though, to be fair; these were spliced with some arguably great dialogue. As for this case, I’m with you in that I do not mind Luke saying unfindable.

      He was a farmboy after all and I can see that part of him, even after the 30 years still being with him. Even in spite of all the knowledge he has.
