I like Mark Hamill in Last Jedi, I appreciate the performance. When I didn’t like how Luke was written, but I liked the film visually, it’s hard to really nail down what was off with the movie. I still think a good episode 9 would have contributed greatly to making the narrative of episode 8 make sense. Having Luke say he was afraid seems to totally be out of sorts with the story Rian was telling. I think Luke purposefully took himself out of the fight, and cut himself off from the force, wanted the Jedi to end. I don’t think it was fear. He saw the prequel Jedi as colossal failures and arrogant, they let the Emperor rise to power and OBI-Wan created Darth Vader.
