That's what I was thinking, he was doing nothing to benefit anybody, essentially just dicking-around.

he was pretending his lightsaber was a torch

He was pretending he was the statue of liberty.

Even more confusing is how Luke was able to kick that one guy without making any physical contact.


But that was just the Force, right? Certainly not a minor oversight in the production process that merits a pathetic amount of over-analyzing, right?


Right?

Maybe Luke thought he was in the olympics

^ If that is true, then he failed as hard as Sochi is failing now.

I'm not saying we should over-analyze. I'm merely pointing out something that made no sense. The no-contact-kick could be explained by the Force. Luke holding up his lightsaber like the statue of liberty in the middle of a battle, however, really can't be explained away as anything other than Luke just dicking-around, or as a minor production error.

It's probably something that happened during editing. Maybe the action was more extensive and part of the fight was cut. They needed the hand to be shot though, because that was a character device.

^that one makes sense.

If I was gonna shoot Luke I wouldn't shoot his hand

It looks like an accident anyway.

aim for the robot hand?

Luke was taking queues from He-Man. Clearly.

Good point. Guess he got the blue lightning a bit later on in the movie.

Yes, the dots were yearning to be connected.

Wasn't blue lightning that hit Luke, it was violet.

Details.

Heman reminds me of Obiwan absorbing Dookus lightning in EP II. Obiwan taught Luke well on how to hold a saber....

Many samurai would hold their swords aloft during battle for no apparent reason. Of course they didn't have to worry about guns.. or lasers...

Especially lasers.

Agree with queeq that it's probably and editing issue. But just for fun and to echo kickballjedi, here's a bunch of Chinese soldiers with their swords in the air for no apparent reason.

It looked cool.

I agree. It looked way cool!

And that is good.
