It's not about what you wanted. For the hero Luke to come out and be 25 again. He's not that character anymore and they tell you that the moment he gets the lightsaber. I mean, they do tell you that the title of the movie is not Luke. And you want a positive development of a character? Rey letting go of her past. Poe becoming the leader (not hero) he is suppose to be. Finn not being ruled by his fear. Luke not defining himself by a mistake. Hux learning what materials First Order vehicles are made of. I think the problem with you guys is that you want more Star Wars movies staring Luke. That continuation of RotJ where it is from his point of view. He's the Obi Wan character in that he is passing it on to the next generation. Same with Han and Leia. If you didn't get that in The Force Awakens then you guys are lost. None of these movies will ever be good to you because you aren't going to get that. They made Luke someone that he is not according to who he was in the OT. It's not too much to ask for the characterization of the OT stars to be honored and have them step out of the limelight with integrity to the character. They just don't care. Luke is also 30 years older and broken. But you can see that old Luke pop out a lot in the movie. Luke being a lone Jedi and having to train a new generation alone had no support for failing. He couldn't handle it. And from this movie, his support didn't come until much later. You see what happened when his support did show up. His characterization was on point. He just wasn't the EU Luke that had continued stories to rely on. |
