Luke's new Jedi Order in the sequels only existing to be Kylo's first warcrime and killed off for Luke's OOC manpain is truly an undercriticized point of the triology. These people only existed to be killed off-screen, no names or faces or histories or behavioral quirks... (unless there's something in the Kylo comics I'm not aware of, though I maintain this point even if so since that's not the kind of thing to be shunned to a spin-off or side-story).

For a series where mystical power explicitly runs off of connection they sure did a terrible job of allowing the audience to connect with the story

#also the entire hosnian system. also all of the stormtroopers taken from their families.#anyway. wouldn't it have been so much more powerful if a surviving student of Luke's joined Rey on Ahch-To #maybe they don't think Luke's to blame & he has to accept their forgiveness #maybe they do think that he created Kylo and thinks he needs to clean up his mess #maybe their feelings are mixed and complicated #maybe they just wanted to see the temple for themself so they could find direction or peace & don't care for the mission #of course this is too much to ask of the corporate writing room catering to racists and misogynists to think of #but like. having them slaughtered was not a good move in my opinion since it cheapens the OT and extended materials #but they did do it & then went absolutely nowhere with it #the lack of care in this story that's supposed to be about caring... it didn't have to be this way and it stings #they could've at least have had Luke mention in passing one of his student's quirks or something he learned from one of them #at least imply their existence as something other than corpses by him saying something like ''oh that trips up a lot of beginners''#but like. no you could've swapped out these people with an antique armor collection or something. in the life is sacred story. ok.#new trilogy was supposed to be a cash grab but I'm so turned off to 95% of everything in that era bc nothing means anything ❤️#there's a little handful of TFA era things I'd read (ex Poe comics) but they're not things I'll find without major sleuthing *shrug emotico #sw #mitch rambles #/////////#//////////#just adding in fillers so maybe this won't end up in tags lol #uhhhh i Think i'm good now?#sw negativity #store wore posting
