Ok I’m Being So Brave About It But A Couple Of Days Ago I Saw This Post Claiming That The Jedi Saying

That's a whole new level.

I have some words about this idea.

First of all, I don't mean to go around saying "No, that can't happen" or "Your opinion is trash" or something along those lines. I just want to give my own opinions on this topic, honest and simple, take it or leave it.

Idk, I guess this is some slight spoiler territory? I'll put a border just in case.

Personally, I don't think Luke potentially appearing at the end could be compared to "Andor" for a number of reasons.

Firstly, "Andor" was specifically created to lead directly into "Rogue One". "Skeleton Crew" has so far been entirely its own thing with absolutely minimal tie-ins to other projects (like the New Republic X-Wing patrols and the rise of pirates) and minimal cameos (they could have easily shoed in Carson Teva or Zeb, or somebody like that). Vane is pretty much the only previously established character who has appeared and I personally don't find that problematic because it's not impossible to imagine a minor character like him to be hopping from crew to crew to make a living in the aftermath of "Mando" season 3.

As such, I think "Skeleton Crew" deserves a conclusion that is unique to itself, devoid of any immediate intermeddling of big names that honestly won't even lead into anything. Having Luke appear would be a neat cameo, but other than that, it would serve no purpose and honestly would even be detrimental to the entire build-up so far. The only real pay-off I can think of would be Wim finally meeting a real Jedi in the flesh, but other than that, there is basically nothing that has been set up so far that could justify Luke's presence. Nobody is seeking a Jedi mentor, nor has the threat of piracy become so apparent to the New Republic that they're considering bringing in their most powerful ally to deal with it.

Furthermore, as far as we know, the kids and SM-33 are the only ones who are actually aware that Jod is Force-sensitive. Nobody else so far has suggested that they know anything about that, not his crew, not his previous acquaintances. Therefore, it is unlikely Luke would even know about him at all since the last two times that we've seen/heard of him take up a pupil, one was dialing him directly through the Force and the other was his nephew.

Having said that, I do agree that having some sort of tie-in to a future story could be interesting, if it has a valid pay-off. Considering At Attin is the last Old Republic credit production planet, it isn't unlikely that it might become a key asset in the New Republic's development or even Thrawn's return.

So now that I've laid out those arguments, how do I find it justifyable to put a scene of building a piece of the Death Star in a series about the guy who will eventually steal the Death Star plans? Other than foreshadowing and fan service? We get to see just how much the Empire is desperate to manage and control every aspect of its populace, all the way down to having its criminals, big and small, rebels and jaywalkers, become nothing more than tiny, determined, replaceable cogs which build up its massive war machine amd how that despair eventually leads to it's downfall, both in the series with the impossible prison break and eventually with the destruction of the Death Star.

Plus the irony that Cassian is helping in the construction of something so monumental he will eventually help destroy, but I guess that can already fall under foreshadowing.

Now that Jod is decidedly proven to be a ruthless, Force using pirate who now has a lightsaber, it’s possible that Luke could show up in the finale. And if he does, I don’t want to hear ANY cries about fan service or overuse, because A) Luke has appeared in precisely two episodes of any live action shows (not counting young Luke in Obi Wan), and he was the most underutilized character in the sequels (apart from Lando) and the one who suffered the most character assassination. He sure as hell hasn’t been over utilized; and B) it makes as much in-universe sense for the last Jedi Master in the Galaxy to be interested in a Force sensitive ruthless pirate with a lightsaber who is on the trail of a long lost Old Republic planet that could potentially have Jedi relics hidden somewhere on the surface (and to have heard of it through his New Republic contacts in regard to underworld/Imperial Remnant buildup) as it does for a main member of the strike team to steal the Death Star plans to have once been put to work by the Empire building panels for the Death Star superlaser while in prison for jaywalking.

I can't believe I actually came across the original post after sharing my thoughts on Pinterest.

pirates of the caribbean really introduced an eldritch octopus man who kills indiscriminately and torments the dead as their poster villain and then you watch the movies and it's like, "oh no, actually the worst villain in this series is a small white british man who functions as the herald of capitalism" and that was very very brave of them

I think this comment deserves to be seen more widely. There are so many people who would benefit from reading it and *thinking* about it.

You can stand to see the Imperial flag reign across the galaxy? – It's not a problem if you don't look up.
