Wait, what? Could you explain that thought, please?

Watching The Mandalorian and all its setup for the sequel trilogy (the hints that the Empire is rebuilding, etc) and the appearance of Luke in the final episode is just a reminder that everything is going to go south for the good guys, and that the overarching story is about to take a nosedive. I can't enjoy it, because it's going no place good.

Likewise, watching the sequel trilogy is a reminder that every good thing that appears in the show (Baby Yoda, Ahsoka, etc) is completely irrelevant to how the trilogy wraps up, and everyone we see here is eventually going to fail miserably. (No I don't think that Baby Yoda is going to get murdered by Kylo Ren at school, but then... what happened to him? At some point Luke is going to fail at what he set out to accomplish).

Until there's a decent post-TROS story, it's impossible to enjoy either show or sequel trilogy with knowledge of the other.

DA - the sequel trilogy just fucked everything up for everyone. It wasn't enough that their starting premise was 'all your heroes suck,' but then they continued that with 'and here are your new heroes. They look like they're not going to suck, but just watch what happens. (spoiler: they kind of suck.)'

I'm honestly hoping that they make the sequels noncanon to where the mandalorian go. Would make a lot of things way less depressing for one and it wouldn't be a precedent if they did.

Still mad at how the sequels did Luke Skywalker dirty. Even mark hamill himself lowkey shades the the fuck out of the sequels.

Hamill is wrong and what they did with Luke Skywalker was excellent, get over it

The idea of Luke Skywalker becoming jaded is an interesting idea, I'll give the sequels that.

Can I believably see the luke that redeemed his father who literally genocided the jedi and killed children to try to kill his own nephew because he might go to the dark side? No. If they built it up somehow in the movies and showed Luke becoming more and more jaded as time went on then it wouldnt have felt nearly as jarring and ooc.

That being said there were aspects of tlj that was good. Luke Skywalker's jump from beacon of hope to jaded old man without much explanation or show into how it happened wasn't one of them.

He didn't try to kill Ben though. He just considered it for a fraction of a second but was never going to do it. Just like in ROTJ, when Luke genuinely started trying to hack away at Vader, Luke was able to realize what he was thinking and pull himself back from the brink. That's what makes Luke different from Anakin and the hero that he is.

First of all, Luke did not try to kill Ben. He literally did not do that.

Second, yes, it's jarring. It's a surprising development. That doesn't mean it's OOC or bad. It means it's surprising, and then the movie goes about explaining how it happened and how it makes sense in character. And it does make sense, and it's good.
