Here’s a question…how is Luke projecting his image across the galaxy for the final fight with the bad guy not a new idea?
The finale with Luke really seems to be the only significant original point.
Alright, how about Luke refusing to train Rey?
Yoda was also reluctant to train Luke. Regardless, Luke does give Rey a couple of lessons.
See, this is why I say “people don’t want lightsabers.” It’s like you didn’t want anything that even resembled the OT in the slightest.
