The final Luke-Ren conflict was quite unbelievable. Luke was a hothead in the OT. Now, you can see that he has finally cooled down.

See, I felt this watching RotJ, so I didn’t care about this aspect of that scene. And like the comment that Dre answered above, a lot of people apparently are completely ignoring Episode VI in order to love VIII. Maybe not in order to, but apparently they are.

You’re partially correct in my view. Perhaps I should not have said “finally cooled down,” since I think you’re mostly right with regards to ROTJ.

There’s a lot of things that can happen in 30 years, so that kind of gives me a suspension of disbelief with regards to Luke becoming a cynical old man. Maybe that could have been explained in the movie better, but I’m not too broken up over it.
