There can be no reasoning with people who waited and two years for Luke Skywalker to show up only (and didnt mind him) to be a comic relief throwing away his fathers lightsaber - people laughing at that joke will buy anything and defend anyting star wars.
I was hoping we got a lot of Luke in TFA. But we didn’t. So I waited two years to see a badass Luke with lightsaber battles, etc. like we got in the extended universe. But it was a huge letdown.
It’s like, why bother? What really was the point to bring Luke back to pretty much waste an opportunity?
I remember 2-4 year ago Youtube commentators talking about the Luke they wanted to see in the new movies, i.e. extended universe stuff they cherry picked. And then now we got none of that and they love it anyways like this is the Luke they wanted all along.
I still think in 5-10 years, we’ll see lots of hate for the ST.
I really think Disney should have cherry picked the most popular stuff in the extended universe and used that for the ST. I think it would have pleased most Star Wars fans, but still allowed them to also do their own thing as well.
