They went the most cliche route imaginable with Luke. It would've been more interesting if he'd managed to keep his optimism and sweetness rather than have him be a bitter old hermit. And killing off the mentor figure has been done 4 fucking times in the SW universe.

So no, fuck you, OP. Luke was handled terribly in this movie.

The cliche route would be to have him be the exact same character he was in the original trilogy.

I do get where you're coming from on killing him off but the rest of the characterization was good and I understand and respect why they would have him kick the bucket.

No, the cliche route is turning a young, idealistic man into a jaded old crank. It's a trope as old as time. Like, come on, anon, do you not know what cliche means? And no, the characterization was not good. It was uninspired, trope-y bullshit. Would've actually been more subversive to not have him become an asshole willing to murder his own nephew. I mean, this is the same man who forgave his child-murdering, family-torturing psychopathic father, no less, it makes no goddamn sense for him to run away and give up because his nephew turned to the dark side. They went with that characterization because it's the easy way out.

The "easy way out" would have been zero character development over the last several decades of his life, lmao

Everything in the Star Wars movies is trope-y, and I thought the execution of Luke's disillusion was fairly well done, and also the depiction of him as Trickster Space Wizard. And he wasn't willing to kill his nephew. He considered it, and then he didn't.

OP is wrong to tell people what to think. So are you. I loved Luke's characterization in TLJ. People are allowed to have different opinions than you.

But OP didn't tell them any such thing. Saying someone is wrong is expressing your reaction.
