Very true, it's incredibly forced and out of character for Luke, it feels like they intended it to be a comedic punchline, but the sequel trilogy already has more than enough forced comedy, so why insert it here where it doesnt belong?

Just cause it'll make a great plot twist doesn't mean it should

[@jangtheconqueror]

I think people would have less problems with this if they felt that Luke's transition into this kind of character made sense. But it didn't. Why did he try to murder Ben, when he was the one who redeemed Darth Vader? One was a Jedi Padawan (I believe?) who was dealing with feelings of neglect by his parents (according to Adam Driver, the movies never tell us why he turned), the other was a full on Sith Lord. If Luke could have hope that a Sith Lord could turn to the light, he should have had hope that Ben would choose the light as well. And then maybe Ben turns anyway because Luke (like the Jedi before him) didn't know how to help him deal with his negative feelings. Luke realizes what happened, blames himself and his blind optimism, and exiles himself in shame. Thus, we have a reasonable, understandable background behind the change to his character. But Rian Johnson really just wanted to play up the surprise factor at every single turn. Sometimes people just don't know how to find the balance, they're just like "This thing is good I NEED MOAR". Of course, people would be very happy if we got to see him as a wise old Jedi Master, knowledgeable and more capable than the old Jedi Order and Council. But this could have been acceptable too, if they put just a bit more thought into it. Of course it's easier to take something that someone's already finished and suggest improvements than it is to make it in the first place

@@DailyDoseofShortsVideos Luke's father was a genocidal madman who killed his friends, a bunch of children, and tens of thousands of other innocents with his own hand calm down bro he isn't suddenly a good guy again just because he killed the man he was already planning to kill and overthrow with Luke anyway

[@danielthesaint]

@@BigT.Larrity bruh, have you not watched Return Of The Jedi, like, ever? He knew there was good in his heart and even Vader said Luke was right about him. Luke even shed a tear for him as he passed away. Yeah Vader was a warlord with countless murder under his name but he redeemed himself with defeating the Emperor. You obviously ain’t watched Star Wars in a minute. In the end he still saw the good in his father and that’s what he wished to remember of him, we see Anakin’s ghost in the end so we know he redeemed himself.

Luke "Don't need this! YEET!"

[@Spiralredd]

Me and my dad loved this scene. Really balsy of them to do this considering lukes purpose here. He came here for the jedi to die along with him so it would make sense that not only would he want nothing to do with it he wouldn't care why she was handing it to him either

I’m a Last Jedi apologist (yes I really did like it, I don’t care what anyone thinks) that behind said I genuinely feel this could be the worst moment in the history of the Star Wars Saga. And by that I mean Episodes I-IX.

[@FalconFlyer75]

If the last Jedi was A young Luke meeting an order 66 survivor (maybe mace windu) I think it would be considered fantastic But Luke being a bitter old man just doesn’t work

[@GradyEdwards26USA]

I laughed so hard when I saw this in theaters for the first time, I was like what the fuck 😂😂😂. Episode 8 and 9 killed the franchise.

Luke throws the lightsaber for a few reason: 1 he has his own, 2 Luke disagrees with this particular blade at first because it reminds him too much of Ben Solo, 3 he realizes how important it is when Rey shows him that being a Jedi is more than letting go of the past: Jedi embrace love and truth because that’s what life is about Luke also knows about the history of this blade and refuses to use it anymore. Rey ends up with Leia’s lightsaber and this is destroyed in this film. She only uses Anakin’s lightsaber in Rise of Skywalker to help her defeat Sidious

[@tokiyakillsinsight160]

Rian Johnson did what he could as a writer, and I respect him for trying the best he could do to fix JJ Abrams’ mess. In The Force Awakens, Luke completely abandoned his best friends and his nephew when things got hard. It’s weird. Its completely out of character. So in order to make it seem like he’s not a complete coward, Rian makes it so that Luke genuinely believes the best thing for the galaxy is to just let the Jedi die, otherwise it’ll be a constant fight between the light and dark forever.

[@yamisean3298]

I mean he didn't just hide on Ahch-To just to wait for someone to bring his lightsaber and then join the Resistance.

[@alexmaverick6647]

He could’ve just let it drop from his hands or something more subtle. The way this was shot was like they thought they were making a Family Guy cutaway scene.

Reading these comments make me hate the Star Wars fans. This is so much more interesting than if had just trained Rey. But some Star Wars fans can’t engage with anything interesting or subversive

[@ollie5271]

This genuinely gets worse the more you watch it

[@jeremiahlougheed1189]

this is clearly a different interetation of the scene. in the force awakens luke and rey lock eyes and there is an unspoken understanding. rey gives him a look of heywe need and luke has the look of I knew this would come.but in the last jedi luke looks confused and rey is also confused. rey looks like she has no idea what she's doing and luke looks at her like" why are you giving me this, what is this and just like i don't want this. the force awakens version is a lot better. rey going to the planet should have been in the begining of the film and have the footage from the force awakens and then cut to rey explaining things. in the force awakens luke looks like he understands what he needs to do but doesn't know if he can while in the last jedi he's just grumpy and like"i don't wanna". i'm editing the sequel trilogy right now and that one of the aspects i'm going to fix
