Here’s some new info on Luke. Admittedly it’s too early to judge as other factors can be introduced to explain why Luke decided to journey to Ahch-To but him abandoning his friends because he was sad leaves a very bad taste in my mouth. The man I admired so much in my mid - late teens wouldn’t do that. Whoever this person is, he’ll have to work very hard to win my affection back because like with Theon Greyjoy I can’t love a coward.

I think Johnson is well aware of this and judging by one of the EW articles I belive he’ll come up with a satisfying explanation for it.

“The very first step in the writing of this was figuring out why he’s on that island,” Johnson says. “We know that he is not a coward. He’s not just hiding because he’s scared. But we also know that he must know his friends are in danger. He must know the galaxy needs him. And he’s sitting on this island in the middle of nowhere. There had to be an answer. It had to be something where Luke Skywalker believes he’s doing the right thing – and the process of figuring out what that is and unpacking it is the journey for Rey.”
