Well said. Mark Hamill’s performance was great, and all the imagery of Luke as a bitter recluse was really cool, but it never struck me as true to his character. People are so infatuated with the idea of prequel Jedi sucking that they forget we’re supposed to like the Jedi.
Everyone justifies hobo Luke by saying “he just hasn’t learned from the failure of the peetee jedi!!!”.
The PT Jedi protected the galaxy for like 10,000 years and were sitting on a millennium of peace. They failed because they BROKE their own rules (which were supposedly so flawed) and trained a creepy nine year old.
Most of you probably don’t even care for the PT, so that’s cool. But I keep hearing people talking about the Jedi Order like it was the worst thing ever, and its annoying.
