Nah. And this is coming from someone who didn’t really have much of an issue with Luke’s portrayal in TLJ.

TLJ had already set up the concept that dark side and light side rise and fall in unison. Luke comes to believe that by rebooting the Jedi, he is giving rise to Snoke and Kylo Ren. Thus he exiles himself in an attempt to return balance to the galaxy without the need for another civil war.

When Rey arrives, he realizes that all he has done is push the responsibility onto someone else, and has to come to terms with his lack of vision.

There. No flashbacks, no attempted murder, no sophomoric whinging about how the Jedi suck. Just Luke making a single well-intentioned mistake and getting his friends killed because of it.
