I knew it would logically be Luke as well; many people debated if it would be him, Ezra Bridger or Cal Kestis, but Ezra Bridger is off in the unknown regions somwhere and will hopefully be involved in his own show at some point, while Cal - to maintain the significance of Luke’s journey in the OT - I personally hope meets a tragic end sometime before the events of the original film. Even though I was fully expecting it, as were many others, I think watching the episode there was somehow a shock that… they ACTUALLY did it.

This feeling usually accompanies any big character appearance in Star Wars. We knew that was going to happen… but wow, it actually did. It’s strange.
