I love Luke in TLJ. In contrast to Rey Mary Sue (and I think TROS made it clear this is a valid perception of her), I really relish failure Luke. I had said prior to the ST that my favorite thing about Luke as a hero is that he is not a badass. He struggles, whines, etc, and is very relatable for it.

As much as I enjoyed Han in TFA, it felt like a theme park version. Like “hey it’s HAN SOLO, look at him go.” I’m glad RJ was the one to handle Luke, and that we were given something beyond the surface level of what we thought we wanted.
