Even the Jedi in the prequels are pathetically weak compared the force users of the Old Republic just due to the amount of knowledge lost in all these wars. I think now is the time of both orders to die and then be re-birthed into their new re-incarnation, whatever that may be.

[@brianalambert1192]

Completely agree. It's not that Luke is disillusioned; its that we have little to no background as to how this happened. I want to see the tragedy, hardship, and utter defeat that led to this outcome. The single flashback we got? Sorry, not enough. Maybe if they had the flashbacks interspersed throughout the movie and him trying to kill Kylo Ren was the last straw, but it was a growing danger and darkness that pervaded his life.

[@coilledragon279]

"Convoluted" and "complex" are not the same thing. While Luke's journey in Legends novels is complex, his characterisation is amazingly consistent!

[@lukerope1906]

@Aeternalis Armentarius you forget that after emphatically telling his father "I will not fight you." He not only fights him, but nearly kills, after his sister is threatened. In ESB Luke abandoneds his Jedi training to "save" his friends after seeing one possible future. Knowing full well that the path he's chosen could lead to Dark Side. "If you end your training now, if you choose the quick and easy path, as Vader did, you will become an agent of evil." So Luke sees a vision of his sister dying, he sees the destruction of everything he ever loved, and he reacts to it and draws his lightsaber, this is completely within character. And this is the important part, Luke doesn't carry through with the attack, he stops himself. But Luke like is father before him ends up causing the future he was trying to prevent. And Luke arc follows a mythopoetic structure as well as paralleling many mythic heroes. "If you look at any classic hero's myth that is actually worth its salt, at the beginning of the hero's journey, like with King Arthur, he pulls the sword from the stone and he's ascendant - he has setbacks but he unites all the kingdoms. But then if you keep reading, when it deals with the hero's life as they get into middle-age and beyond, it always starts to get into darker places. And there's a reason for that: It's because myths are not made to sell action figures; myths are made to reflect the most difficult transitions we go through in life." - Rian Johnson

I'm in the middle when it comes to the argument of whether or not Luke was ruined in TLJ.

Why would he be the exact same as in ROTJ except in age? At the same time, I can see why some argue that his character is ruined, because he did stuff that he wouldn't have done in the past, like attempting to strike down Ben Solo because of the Dark Side.

I asked Ivan Orgtea about doing a proof of concept special editons for the films using elements of his re-edits. I even talked with KZbinr Star Wars Rebel Leader prior to it and he liked the ideas I gave him. Ivan said he was interested though first he was going to take a break.

FACT CHECK, the "luke was going to walk off into the sunset but didn't because of toy sales" is actually factually wrong. The only person to say that was Gary Kurts, who was a known liar just like David Prowse (who you can see a clip on youtube of him calling James Earl Jones a "negro"). George wasn't focused on money, Gary was spreading around lies out of spite for being fired. In fact, George was going through a finalized divorce at the end of ROTJ, and that money from toys was just making his evil X's wallet FAT. please make a clarification in annotations or something. Too much misinformation from George's haters is spread around but disproven in books like making of star wars/empire/ROTJ.

[@fridaynightnicktoons6885]

Yeah, I hope he fixes that,otherwise he's willingly spreading mis information. In which case why follow a information channel on SW? :/

[@MrSeals1000]

Well, also(I may be wrong, but Im pretty sure there is a documentary on netflix about this), but the toy sales of star wars were extremely low for Lucas himself. This was due to the toy makers contract taking a TON(it was above 90%... I think... but dont quote me, it's been a while since I watched it) of the percentage of the profits because they hadnt worked out a proper contract until after star wars was released and became a hit. The toy manufacturers forced Lucas into a really really bad deal, but the movie was a hit, and they needed toys. Its speculated that part of the reason that the Prequels took so long to come out was because Lucas was waiting for the contract to expire, which is supported by the fact that The Phantom Menace was announced only a year or a few after it expired.

[@fridaynightnicktoons6885]

@@MrSeals1000 what documentary. Also the reason Lucas took so long is he needed a break. I know many want to paint him as a hack and some boogie man who's a greedy evil man,but hes just a guy who put his heart and soul into his file. You know episode 4? He was told to stop working on that by his doctor after he was sent to the doctor fro over working and almost having a heart attack. He just went back to work the same day. Between making a trilogy,running lucasfilms and other companies like thx, and divorce and being a single dad after his bitch wife left him, he needed to rest. And he did. Hell even by the time he was ready to work again he didn't want to direct. He tried getting Ron Howard,speilberg and others to, ut everyone was afraid of living up to the hype,so Lucas did it himself. He's not flawless,but I hate how many demonize him. He's why we have star wars. Flaws like incest and jar jar don't matter in the grand scheme of things.

@@fridaynightnicktoons6885 Judging by your username, assuming it's not intentionally ironic or a joke, you seem to follow a lot of misinformation channels about Star Wars.

@@fridaynightnicktoons6885 Ill have to find it(edit: The Toys that Made Us is what it is called, there is an episode on Star Wars) :3 and yeah, Im not saying he was trying to be money grubbing at all. Waiting till the contract expired as well as taking a break. It was just something that some people say is one of many reasons. And waiting for it to expire wouldnt even seem like a bad thing because they really did screw him over, it would be more for the principle of it than anything else.

If anyone is looking to learn more about behind the scenes and making of the original trilogy I recommend the book Star Wars FAQ by Mark Clark. Very nice video by the way.

[@matheus.bueno47]

Why does this video change characters in the middle? Jake Skywalker is a different character from Luke, it's important not to confuse them!

[@deadshot5007]

Luke in Episode 8 is 100% true to Luke's character and it's rather sad that you live in a bubble trying to make yourself better just because you can't grow up.
