Luke was broken by Ben’s betrayal and he felt like he failed Ben, and he felt like he had betrayed the trust of Leia by how it all went down. Last Jedi perfectly portrayed that. Luke failing was absolutely right in this context for the sequel because it wasn’t about him or his story. It was about Rey and the living force as a whole. Luke got so caught up in his own story of being a legend he forget to have humility. He made Anakin Skywalker like mistakes. He almost doomed the galaxy until the force selected a new champion. I find it ironic the force chose not a Skywalker but a scion of the Palpatine bloodline instead. A Palpatine would restore balance and bring back the spark of the Jedi when a Palpatine destroyed them.

Luke wasted years selfishly until Yoda showed up and corrected him. But he finally did the right thing by saving the resistance. And learning to let go of his fear, his bitterness, and pass into the force.
