I don't care if The Last Jedi "ruined your childhood" or "destroyed a beloved character". I'll always defend it because this is the Star Wars movie for scrupulous people.
#star wars#the last jedi#randomly listened to brandon sanderson hating on luke's character arc#on the one hand i get how movies taking place within the franchise need to respect genre expectations#but on the other hand 'luke skywalker was the hero whose unshakable goodness saved the galaxy' is the take luke is suffering under!#he's supposed to be good! so when he makes a mistake how can he come back from that?#of course he runs!#of course he feels like he failed!#of course he gives up!#he has to learn how to forgive himself and move on!#the whole movie is people learning how to move past mistakes and failings#do you have any idea how important that message is#in our current culture where saying one wrong word online can destroy you for life?#it's the movie of divine mercy!#it's a story that needs telling!#if luke had been 'random old mentor' you'd have loved it!#let him have a human character arc!
