Hermit Luke, a George Lucas concept not Rian Johnson's.

A 2013 concept art approved by Lucas seems to indicate that Luke's TLJ story is exactly what was planned from the start. Especially the Col. Kurtz reference.

As a bonus, I love this video:

Lucas's original idea did have Luke living off on some backwater world. However, the notion that he wanted the Jedi to be destroyed and cutting himself off from the force was entirely RJ's idea. Lucas still intended for Luke to train Jedi.

It was literally the most interesting Luke Skywalker has ever been in the entire series.

By Luke being Surtur? laughing out loud

They even had Luke drinking milk from a teet in that movie, not unlike Surtur nursing from his brother Ymir.

Not much, but it was really fukking stupid is all. They might as well have went all the way and had Luke wank off over a sleeping Rey to fit funnyman Luke.

Goes from trying to kill nephews with his saber, to trying to disperse some midiclorians all over Rey's shoulder.

Lot of 'potential' there

I don't disagree with you, I think Last Jedi had some really bad misfires when it came to attempts at humor. That said, overall I thought its version of Luke genuinely was probably the most interesting in the series.

Is wanking off a thing in Star Wars? I can't find it anywhere in The Complete Encyclopedia.
But seriously, if you're going to get divorced-dad level depressed Luke, there's no way he wasn't thinking about at least firing one out when he saw Rey determined to be Rey like that. If you introduced a pretty girl into a common ground for hobos, there's no way they'd nurse out a glass of dog milk and tell them to get lost. Naive girl who has no idea about the force, legendary bloodline hero, hermit, "he's acting like a reel humin bean would act if he got his Order killed," etc.

Tough to go from EU Luke to that tbh. I like him better even in a shit story like Dark Empire than I liked him in TLJ.

It only *popped* more because Mark is a great actor.

Lucas loves to ruin his own fictional universe for reasons that are beyond understanding.

Interesting? Perhaps. Shame it absolutely ruined his character though.

It may be interesting to have finn kill a bunch of storm troopers a few seconds after he was shook by a fellow storm trooper dying, but if you don't show why/how that change occured, it's still lazy ass writing.

Exactly. Theres nothing wrong with Luke being in exile in and of itself. It was the reasoning and characterisation that was wrong.

Yes. Marks performance was great despite him knowing the material was butchering Luke.
