Palpatine and Vader both wanted to turn Luke. Palps wanted him to be his next apprentice and replace Vader. Vader wanted Luke as his dark side apprentice so he could replace Palps as the Master. The only reason to kill him was if he couldn't be turned
A better question is what reason would JJ Abrams/Disney have for making her do a different accent?
Qui-Gon Jinn, of all people i would have thought you would remember that guy!
Qui-Gon was the first to learn how to commune from the "netherrealm" of the Force, and taught Yoda how to go all ghosty, whom passed on that info to Obi-Wan. Qui-Gon's body did not vanish, but he also never appeared as a ghost.
Yeah it always felt to me like a back and forth between the two that settled on the mid-point of Luke will either turn to the dark side or be killed. And that was Palp's mistake. The one person left in the galaxy (still being ignorant of Leia at that point) who has the potential of creating a moral dilemma for your right hand man has got to go.
He actualy did apear as a FG in an episode of The Clone Wars which is one of the few things that is still Canon. His Ghost is everywhere if you count the EU, which we wont.
The classic old SW argument. They are supposed to cater to the super geeks! Well, they disagree and are happy to cater to Joe six pack and more importantly, his kids. They will sell a lot of toys and general merchandise. Its everywhere. And now its even Disney, there's literally no reason left not to accept the fact of "who" these movies are made for. If its also enjoyable enough for the geeks to watch and talk about (see this thread, it is) then its a win-win.
Well, they made Finn lose his accent, so somebody was thinking something. One of the theories is that Rey is a Kenobi since Obi-wan is the only other character that also had that accent.
I remember Jango getting rekt on the same level by Mace Dindu. He fucking decapitates him if I remember correctly. Something we won't be seeing in this new movies I'd wager because Disney.
