I’m really on the fence with all of this myself…I love the idea of a disillusioned Luke going into exile and struggling with the murky edges of Jedi ethics and the Force. But at the same time I’m not sure I can see Luke ever actually quitting entirely.

I’ll see your not disagreeing with you, and raise you an also not disagreeing with you. I’d like to think he wouldn’t either, but I’m fine with that direction if he did. Sometimes people become dissolutioned to the point of quitting. Plenty of actors, writers, artists, etc. It can happen, whether we want it or not.

I also think you’re right about some people just not wanting anything other than a continuation of ROTJ Luke and that’s caused yet another fissure in the fan base.

I’m also not certain we really want our heroes to be like normal people anyway.

That could be a 100-page discussion on its own. 😉
