One thing I've noticed is that TLJ is very controversial. Astute observation, I know. But I think I might know why.
I was at a Christmas party with my extended family last night and my second cousin had already seen the movie, as had my first cousin. Us three were the only ones who had seen it of about 50 people total at the party, so we had to be very hush-hush about it, but I came to a realization.
My first cousin loved it. He thought it was one of the best Star Wars movies ever made and rated it a solid 9.5/10. Now, he is a huge Star Wars fan, but not a huge fan of Luke. It's not that he dislikes him, but he would rather see other characters take the lead.
My second cousin is a different story. He hated the movie even more than most; giving it a "generous" 3/10. He, on the other hand, is a massive fan of Luke. Luke is easily his biggest hero when it comes to fictional characters. This movie disgusted him.
I too love Luke. He's not my favorite character, but he was the main draw for me. His portrayal broke this movie for me. He didn't feel like Luke. It was all off. It sunk the movie in my mind. I think this is how it is for most people that didn't like it.
Diehard Star Wars fans still like this movie, but most diehard Luke fans don't. That's my observation so far. I'd like to hear from you guys about it as well. If you liked it, just ask yourself if Luke was the main draw for you or not. The same thing for if you didn't like it. I'm not claiming to be right, I'm just genuinely curious about this. I think Luke might be the "key" to liking or disliking this new movie.
