Share on FacebookI don't think anyone else could have been worthy of the 'Jedi Master' title than Riley. What a nice thing for Lucusfilm to do!
Not a soldier, but he still laid his life down for his classmates. Not a police officer, yet he took the bullet to avoid further bloodshed. He had no super powers, except for a deep compassion for his fellow man. He is the very definition of a Jedi Master. He is and always will be one with the Force.
Some achieve their destiny early, many never do. Riley prepared for his and met it head on. Always a hero.
The fact this is a thing that can befall a teenager in an American school just breaks my heart more than I can say. No family should ever have to contend with the possibility of losing their loved one to a school shooting... I'm glad Lucasfilm did this, but its just so unbearably sad. What a hero this boy was.
People always say that "The force is strong with this one", but until you hear what Riley did, nobody is anywhere close to being strong with the force. Thank you Riley for risking your life for others.
The shooter gave up after Riley tackled him. Whatever grudge or misguided fantasy the shooter had was crushed by Riley sacrificing himself.
Lovely. Hope they don't retract it as it hasn't been kept confidential like they asked
So of course someone has to try to spoil a beautiful gesture with their own politics. Shame on you for trying to tarnish this memorial to a brave young man.
