well, i love that luke didn’t save the galaxy and went on a more personal quest.
Instead of fighting the war? I mean the whole point of the OT (to this point) was Luke being the ‘new hope’ and the ‘last hope’ and every other kind of hope. If Luke has nothing to do with the actual battle, what’s the point of the film? It’d be like a Superman movie that has Supes go off to find religion while Jimmy Olsen saves the day.
More importantly, Yoda says “pass on what you have learned”. Pass on what exactly? That Jedi Knights aren’t allowed to fight, but they’re great for bedside conversions? This is where grumpy TLJ Luke actually has a point - the Jedi are useless! The last thing the galaxy needs is more Jedi.
I swear I’m not baiting you. I honestly do not understand this movie. Fans claim that Rian Johnson destroyed Luke’s character, but I maintain that his character had already been ruined. RoTJ Luke is completely selfish and values his own religious goals (including his evil father’s spiritual wellbeing) over the fate of the galaxy. Not cool.
