And found it again -- and then some -- by the end.

The more I think about it, the more I don't like the idea. It seems that they wrote his character that way to keep him from having any motives from doing things that had action sequences. So he never leaps into action in a lightsaber duel or uses any cool Force powers.
And it keeps him from competing with Rey and Kylo (and maybe even Finn) as one the action stars in TLJ.
The irony is that there was less action and lightsaber stuff in TLJ for Rey and Kylo than in TFA. The throne room battle was the only real lightsaber dueling in the entire movie.

That's the point.
The way of the Force.
"A Jedi craves not these things."

That's the point. The way of the Force. "A Jedi craves not these things." But I do. I crave it. I crave adventure and excitement because thats what Jedi get into anyway whether they like it or not. I crave not wasting a full potential of entertainment. When you have a a Jedi and a Sith, you should want and make a really good fight out of it. When you have a Mark Hamill and a Luke Skywalker who isn't too old for a lightsaber, you let him show off as much as possible with a lightsaber one more time in a new trilogy in this new decade where lightsaber fights have improved from the 80s and 2000s, before its too late. |

And I'm sure that's why George Lucas hated the thought of doing that last trilogy all those years. This is why he said "and they lived happily ever after" for so long. If Luke comes back, fandom will want him to kick some ass and go out in a blaze of glory. That's just not what the character is about. His story was about learning to turn off the saber. I hated the way Johnson took the character down, way out of character, to get him back to where he needed to be at the end of this story. I think he could have done that differently, but where he ended up was a tribute to where Lucas placed him at the end of ROTJ. |
