This would be especially tough given the fact that Emmett is a pocket-sized reference who does n’t have much to do from movie to motion picture , unlike the enfranchisement leads . Whilefans of theTwilightserieswould certainly have rebelled against   Lutz being recast ( he also allow the fans are the main reason he stuck with it ) , it make good sense why   the player might have had question going into his fifth year in the same situation . as luck would have it , Lutz stuck around to wind up theTwilightsaga disregarding , and find out out   his dear   character ’s arc .
