^ Okay, I only saw TLJ once, but this is how I see it. IMO no one but Rian Johnson would have turned Luke into the person he was in TLJ... not JJ, not Lucas, not Gareth Edwards and not Ron Howard. IMO Rian Johnson tried way too hard to make a different type of SW film from the one people were expecting. Luke who never lost hope in the good in Vader and was willing to die believing in that goodness suddenly gets scared about his nephew's power? So he creeps up on him in the middle of the night like some pedo uncle... that was such a badly shot scene IMO. Luke became so cynical that he would let the locals die instead of trying to do something just because he didn't want to give them false hope or something. Luke became so afraid that he would kill his own nephew in fear of the future? What in the OT foreshadows Luke becoming like that? IMO OT Luke would always believe in the goodness of people and fight for what is right no matter the odds and would never abandon his friends in need.

But again... I only saw TLJ once... and may be remembering OT Luke with rose colored glasses.
