I couldn't have imagined a more pathetic turn for Luke.

How sad.

You have no one you love?

Han's first instinct is to run. You can see it. Then he remembers what Leia said.

It is Leia's fault Han died.
He loved her enough to have faithin what she believed.

That is hardly stupid.
Sad she basically killed him, but not stupid.
It completes the love story.

My child said the same about Elizabeth in PotC.
Every guy she kissed died.

Cursed chick.

Yah, I have loved.

Loving means not to run away

when the other one is in peril,

Han did when his son was seduced

by a dark lord,

Unlike what he did in the OT films,

In Farce Awakens he ran away

from his son and his wife

To become a merry adult-diaper smuggler in his 70s

with a famous name, ship and sidekick

must be very helpful with smuggling..not.

Leia and Han's plan was beyond idiotic

What was the plan?

"Benny, come home to your estranged father,

all your genocidal deeds will be forgiven by mommy and I

and the Republic?

All the emo-problems and fanatism will vanish"

That is a suicide plan.

Anyway,

Han died like a dumb bitch.

Like a plot device.

Worse than Luke.

That first film's writing was so bad,

it stilll makes me puke relentlessly,

Don't get me started on EmoRen asking redeemed Vader

to protect him from the "light"

Worse than Marvel MCU

- there, I said it

In the book, we learn that one of the first meetings to visualize The Force Awakens happened on January 16, 2013 at Skywalker Ranch with George Lucas himself. Among the pieces presented at the meeting were portraits of an older Luke Skywalker training a new disciple named Kira (who was later renamed Rey). The idea was that, 30 years after the fall of the Empire, Luke had gone to a dark place and secluded himself in a Jedi temple on a new planet. The paintings show Luke meditating, reassessing his whole life.

Apparently, the initial plan for Star Wars: Episode 7 was that Luke, over the course of that movie, would rediscover his vitality and train this new Jedi. So basically, what we got from the Rey/Luke storyline in The Last Jedi was initially supposed to be the bones for George Lucas’ Episode 7. Imagine an alternate universe where Episode 7 was Luke reluctantly training a new Jedi – it would be completely different.

So why did it change? Everyone realized that Luke Skywalker would better serve the needs of the story as the person that everyone seeks but does not find until the final scene of The Force Awakens. This allowed Han Solo more time as the mentor of the story, and the visuals of Luke training Rey on the site of an old Jedi temple were shelved for the next movie.

The action immediately follows Luke Skywalker's unmasking of his father, Darth Vader, as seen in the movie.

"Luke takes his mask off," Lucas told his co-writer Lawrence Kasdan (via a transcription of the meeting from io9).

"The mask is the very last thing - and then Luke puts it on and says, 'Now I am Vader'. Surprise! The ultimate twist. 'Now I will go and kill the [Rebel] fleet and I will rule the universe'."

Kasdan responded, "That's what I think should happen", but Lucas backed down from the idea, insisting that the film "is for kids".

And we thought that Star Wars: The Force Awakens's revelation that Return of the Jedi was followed by divorce, betrayal and abandonment was grim...

So yeah.
Lucas contemplated rinse, repeat back with the earlier trilogy.
