Yeah, he can come back as a ghost, but without Carrie I’d have much preferred to keep Luke around in the flesh for at least one more movie.
And the way he died still massively upsets me because it seems so fucking pointless. There was no good reason I can see to off him.
Except maybe to become more powerful than you can possibly imagine?
I admit this is still something I’m mulling over. No strong feelings about it either way, oddly enough (considering this is literally my childhood hero).
