this phenomenon seems to affect all the boards I frequent, wonder where all these real fans evaporated to? But alsways nice finding an dissenting opinion.
I kinda enjoyed revisiting Luke too despite of the questionable writing. I mean the "I don't care for anything except for murdering my nephew and trolling him with Force projection as long as I can pout and die on an unfindable island" was not really congruent with the character profile from the originals.
But where do you take "wisest Force Ghost" of all...? I mean we can discuss character, but "I hate the Jedi, and tell you three or really just two lessons why they must end because of failure and unbalance and all" was one of the most whiny and fallacious rambles I ever heard, maybe that was really bipolar Jake Skywalker, not Luke?

I liked Luke's arc in TLJ largely because I actually hate the Jedi myself. I thoroughly disliked what I saw of them in the prequels, they were all about rules and regulations and thou-shalt-nots and politics and taking little kids away from their parents and telling them never to get attached to anyone again. The Luke we saw in TLJ had come to understand that he didn't need to do what was expected of him and re-start all that Jedi crap again, and in the end he became one with the Force after coming to a deeper understanding of it than any Jedi.
And that's all I'm going to say, because I don't enjoy talking to the people on this board.
