Re: Star Wars Discussion (The Last Jedi Spoilers Within!)
Honestly, how they handled Luke was pretty terrible to me. This character was like my biggest fictional hero for basically my entire life, and they ruined him.
It is kinda like how Transformers fans howled when Michael Bay turned Prime into a cold blooded killer.
Luke turning his back on his family and friends due to a failed student, which in turn allows said student to murder millions including Han - it is hideous. Him thinking of killing Kylo due to Kylo having dark thoughts was frankly crazy. Even him telling Leia that Kylo can't be saved(when Rey tried to bring him back to the light), is so out of character for Luke.
This is a character who threw down his lightsaber in the face of certain death to stick to his principles and show the love of a father he never even knew.
But he apparently couldn't handle a sixteen year old kid getting tempted by the darkside...............
That said, if you don't feel as strongly as I do about Luke I can see how folks could feel the movie works. What they did with the Luke arc in the film was well done for what it was - it just goes completely against eveything we know about the character.
