Current discussions aside, I think this is a fantastic video on why many people can’t accept what they did to Luke’s character in TLJ:
I just started watching this guys’s The Lost Jedi series and so far I really like it!
Yeah I’m finding his various analysis and opinion videos on TLJ to be great and he does a pretty good job on presenting and articulating his points in a way that’s not confronting or antagonistic if people with an opposite view were to watch his videos. Here is another good one on what he believes shows that RJ and JJ were not on the same page which obviously led to the many consistency issues and the binning of TFA’s setups:

But yeah, regarding The Lost Jedi series - Holy shit! I’ve listened to part 1 and 2, Disney should have hired this bloke to write the story for TLJ, it’s fricken awesome! Can’t wait to listen to the remaining parts. I also wish somehow that it were possible to make his vision for Episode 8 via a fan edit of TLJ but I don’t think that would be possible 😕
For anyone that is interested in a different take on the story of Episode 8 that is more inline with the OT and what was setup in TFA, I highly recommend checking out the below two videos. The video explains that he’s not trying to say how TLJ should have been done or that he could do it better (personally though I would have loved to see his story made into Ep8 and I felt this way after only the first 5 minutes into it), he makes fan fiction for fun and this is his take on an alternate story set around the same time as TLJ and after the events of TFA:
