The diplomacy lines hit wrong for me. The Jedi can defend themselves and others sure but they’re not violent by nature. Before the rise of Palpatine the Jedi were negotiators/mediators that were sent out to settle disputes between different parties through non-violent diplomacy.

This new Luke line paints the Jedi as warriors first and that just doesn’t ring true.

It’s not really that Luke’s Jedi were exclusively warriors, but that they were intentionally meant to be distant from the center of the galaxy’s issues so that they didn’t reach a Clone Wars 2.0 scenario. There’s a reason Luke chose a random-ass planet in the middle of nowhere for his new temple.

Leia likes to be right in the middle of things. Luke was probably cautious of that. It’s not that hard to see why this would be an issue.
