Star Wars: The Last Jedi has encouraged plenty of discussion and debate among fans since it debuted in December, and while there are some aspects of filmmaker Rian Johnson’s narrative that remain open for interpretation — at least until Episode 9 is released — there’s one burning question that keeps coming up regarding Luke Skywalker’s spectacularly snarky showdown with Kylo Ren at the film’s climax.
