Suprised anyone is still thinking about the Luke/puppet idea, I think its a really great way of showing the galaxy’s knowledge of Luke Skywalker and his legacy amongst the masses. Rey refers to him in The Force Awakens like he’s a myth/legend, don’t think we saw much of that, so hearing pilots chanting his name and seeing the youth on Pasanna learning his story/some of his life actions really sells it for me.
