I suspected quote mining was involved.
Let’s not pretend that luke skywalker was ever a interesting character to begin with…his non presence in TFA is a parallel to how interesting of a “character” luke is
You’re right, aside from:
- blowing away stormtroopers
- swinging across a bottomless pit
- downing multiple TIE fighters
- blowing up the goddamned DEATH STAR
- maiming a wampa
- single-handedly taking out an AT-AT with a rope and a grenade
- making objects float with his mind
- mind controlling people
- single-handedly killing the rancor armed only with a skull
- killing half of Jabba’s crew with a lightsaber
- killing the other half by blowing up the sail barge
- beating Vader in a duel
- and telling the Emporer to piss off
Luke is a completely uninteresting character.
