Rian fundamentally misunderstands the force in TLJ.
Luke: “Balance - Powerful light, Powerful darkness.” is a reductionist corruption of George’s idea of balance. The darkside is the imbalance - an abomination of the force, the Light represents the force when it’s in its truest nature- balanced. The idea that light and dark represent The ying/yang in the force is something George opposed vehemently and to me highlights just how out of touch the ST is with the 6 film saga.
