Those earlier comments were all centred around The Last Jedi, but angry at a plot point created in TFA. So, forgive me for being glib.

Also, Luke hadn’t fallen to the Dark Side. His “grumpy” desire for the Jedi to end was in fact him resisting the Dark Side.

As for nearly killing Ben after his arc being complete, people aren’t video games. While his arc was complete then, to assume any character development he would ever undergo happened in the roughly five years that the original trilogy takes place and not at all during the subsequent 30 years is just dumb. People regress all the time, people make mistakes all the time. It’s part of being human. Had Luke just stayed a stoic and perfect hero, as people are pretending The Mandalorian retcons, it would’ve been the most boring film ever, and even far worse than The Rise of Skywalker as it was already delivered to us. Fan service for the sake of fan service is asinine.
