They made Luke a sullen pessimistic old man that was ignorant of simple truths. And if Rey found him, much like Luke found Yoda, then Luke will have so much to impart upon Rey. If Luke is on a deserted planet then it must be for a very good reason. So what I'm expecting is an older, WISER Luke. Fast forward nearly 40 years and now Luke is an old man. He had piloting skills, light saber skills and could do Jedi mind tricks. Luke was the first hero I'd seen wear black. Like many people have the one celebrity they'd like to meet: the one fictional character for me has always been Luke Skywalker. Then, there came the interaction between Rey and Luke Skywalker. ![]() A couple of other small iniquities occurred but I soldiered forth watching with an open mind because it's "Star Wars". I took that little shift in philosophy in stride and kept eagerly watching. They didn't need fighters anymore, they needed thinkers (or something akin to that). ![]() The subtlety was that Leia was making it seem like the Rebels were in no need of heroes. I didn't like that exchange but it's not a show stopper. She made a comment and made a decision regarding Poe that I found a little unsettling. It began with the interaction between Poe and Princess Leia. As the movie started I was dialed in for the first 15 minutes then I noticed this subtle uneasiness in me like a disturbance in the force. ![]() I bought my tickets a month and a half in advance in anticipation of episode eight. I was so anxious to watch The Last Jedi especially how The Force Awakens ended and how good The Force Awakens was.
