what's going on guys how you doing today today we're gonna go over some more of
the rise of Skywalker novelization took the jacket off there cuz it was annoying
today this book comes out for sale so if you want to see more or read more about
the novel or about the movie from the novel feel free today's videos gonna go
over something that I thought was very interesting regarding the movie we got a
15 to 20 second flashback scene of Luke training Leia and it was really
beautiful like it really reminded me of the original trilogy and it showed you
know like a younger Luke and a younger Leia and he had his green lightsaber she
had her blue this book goes into great detail regarding that fight and her
overall training in general when she was with Luke so let's dive right into it
top of page 9 if you want to freeze-frame there there we go
and maybe that's exactly what Rey needed training in the force not from a formal
master but rather someone grounded in the everyday minutia of life and
survival obi-wan had failed to keep Vader from the dark side Luke had failed
the same way with Ben she could not fail Rey insects saying as she walked Birds
warbled overhead and tiny amphibians trilled their mating
calls odd how such a racket place could be so peaceful the noise was so loud so
ever present and so soothing it was almost as perfect as silence many years
ago not long after the Battle of Endor she discovered the meditative power of
sound she and Luke had stolen away for some training and somehow she'd ended up
standing on her hands while Luke slung good-natured taunts her way even with
help from the force her shoulders had started to burn her arms wobble they'd
already spent the last hour sparring with their lightsabers and her body was
exhausted you know Luke had said his voice smug when I did this on Dagobah
Yoda was sitting on my feet he said that a lot back then when I did this on
Dagobah it was obnoxious and completely unhelpful
so Leia reminded him you're being obnoxious and completely unhelpful
I also did it on one hand he added he was trying to provoke her to teach her a
lesson about anger and impatience and all that nonsense Luke had forgotten
that his student was a superb strategist who'd already benefited from a royal
education Leia would not be provoked instead she considered she reached out
to the force let it flow through her like blood in
her veins a tiny insect began rubbing its mandibles together whistling a sweet
high song some instinct guided her and Leia focused on the sound it was
beautiful pure ethereal completely unethical and
learning with focus and with delight Leia raised herself off the ground she
floated upside down feet pointed to the sky after a moment she lifted her arms
and held them parallel to the ground but she was just a student new to the ways
of the force and when she came back to herself fully realized what she'd done
she whipped her hands back down lest she fall she did it just in time her form
collapsed and she found herself kneeling in mud no matter she'd do better next
time Leia looked up to find Luke staring at
her mouth open did you ever do that with Yoda she couldn't resist asking he shook
his head wordlessly I can do better she insisted float longer Luke found his
voice you're going to make me a better teacher
he said not the response she'd expected what do you mean he reached down helped
her up your footwork is terrible he said don't get me wrong your lightsaber craft
is coming along but you do other things naturally his face turned apologetic
what I mean is you're exceptional just different then he had smiled with that
wide farmboy grin that had stayed with him all the way up until the night of
Ben's betrayal Leia shook off the memory with effort memories were coming fast
and vivid these days she was glad for this one though it would be the key to
training Rey leigh-anne ray were different the last remnants of a dead
order and together they would carve an new paths so I guess it's confirmation
that Leia is actually stronger than Luke if she had trained to her full potential
and this isn't really news isn't a new thing this is actually something that
was in legends back when George was in charge there was there were plenty of I
forgot the name of these comics it's like these these variant comics of it's
like a what if the whole thing is like a fanfiction book I have it in the other
room and like one one second there's so many different stories and one of them
is Leia being trained by Yoda and she is exceptionally powerful so I
think they're just taking from different sources and different things that you
know are legends and and throwing them in there so to me that's no surprise I
know to a lot of people it will be a surprise but Leia was exceptionally
powerful in the force she just chose a different path of life right but she had
that latent force ability within her that if she actually trained she would
have been amazing so that's this piece in the book I hope that they actually
created that and a CGI edit you know in mocap and all that stuff and maybe
they'll release it one day don't get your hopes up but I mean we can hope
right this that's pretty much the main theme of Star Wars hope sort of okay um
I hope you guys enjoyed this video let me know what you think below about this
stuff and have an awesome rest every day may the force be with you
