There is no sense in which it wa an unbelievable characterization of Luke Skywalker. It was a different characterization than Luke in the OT, yes. It was also a much older Luke.

[(Anonymous)]

"B-but he's older, so it makes sense that he'd suddenly become completely OOC!!"

Aging does not change you that drastically.

"characterization I personally don't like" =/= "out of character"

IMO, doing all that he did and then having the burden of the entire universe on him, only to see the same evil rising up again in the First Order? No wonder he's tired. And he HATES himself for his weakness in what he did to Ben/Kylo, and what the consequences of that were. I'm sorry he's not bright-eyed and 20 anymore, but shit happens.

Besides, angsting in the middle of nowhere is like a Jedi Master coming-of-old-age thing by now, isn't it?

[(Anonymous)]

"Characterisation I like" =/= "in character/good characterisation" though. I don't even mind most of Luke's development and characterisation (though I think it had its issues, especially in some scene that should have been killed with fire) but just because you like something doesn't mean it's great and without fault.

[(Anonymous)]

No shit?? people ITT are just pointing out it's a matter of opinion and not some absolute fact that Luke was "ooc". As someone else said, people are allowed to disagree with you.

[(Anonymous)]

You can certainly make an argument that it's bad characterization but the idea that it's fundamentally unrealistic because aging doesn't change people that much is not a good argument.

[(Anonymous)]

It could. It doesn't have to but it's not fundamentally unrealistic to have a guy be bitter and disillusioned in old age.

[(Anonymous)]

Speaking as an oldie, yes it can.

[(Anonymous)]

Aging does not change you that drastically.

Why not? Depends on what he went through.
