Return of the Jedi Luke continues to be the worst Luke

I've said this on other boards - The Last Jedi, I think - but Luke at that part of his life blows. He's robotic, intentionally emotionless - it peeks through at times in ROTJ - and cold. He seemed to believe this is how he has to be in order to be a Jedi.

All those complaints about The Last Jedi, but THAT is Luke. An older Luke, but the guy we saw in in ANH and TESB. That guy had emotions and a personality. That's who he was most of his life. He got full of himself and cold during the ROTJ time period. It was a period in his life, but overall, he was always an emotional and caring guy.

My favorite Luke is in The Last Jedi when he uses just a ghost of himself to defeat Kylo. That was just bad azz

He didn't kill him, but he defeated him. The sith lord killed him.

Umm - no, it's the great jedi mind trick - I'm gonna take away your joy of victory by killing myself - lol
not much of a defeat

Waaaay better showcase of power than the Mando season 2 finale.

If you remember even Obiwan Kenobi was a dick to Anakin. The jedi are dicks to their padawan. Not a good policy if you ask me.

Good points. I used to think ROTJ Luke was just overwhelmed by it all. His father, jedi stuff, his sister. He was trying take it all in. I figured the confident, energetic, heroic Luke from Star Wars would return at some point. But he's dull, nutty, arrogant, and kind of mean.
