[SPOILER - highlight to read]: Sending a Force Hologram to distract Kylo isn't a fight, you know. He didn't actually do anything to hurt Kylo and the strain of it killed him.

[SPOILER - highlight to read]: Wait a sec... so Luke didn't tank those walker cannons? Yeah, makes sense. Damn, my initial hype for the scene clouded my cognitive thinking. My opinion for the film just sunk even lower.
No, he didn't. He [SPOILER - highlight to read]: was visibly strained, fell, tried to get up, fell again and disappeared. He just kinda gave up and died really. Luke takes after Padme, I guess.
Nope. He was [SPOILER - highlight to read]: doing some astral projection bullshit to distract Kylo. He was physically still on the island. Disney made Luke too much of a pussy to confront Kylo in person.
Yeah, that's the thing. [SPOILER - highlight to read]: He gave up and died. He didn't die because he was strained( obviously he was), he died because he gave up. Anyways, the novels should make it clear enough.

Now it all makes sense. Right before the Luke scene there's one guy who tastes the ground and says one word. Because one word is all that's needed. It says more than a thousand pictures ever would.
"Salt."
I now understand every ****up in the movie was intentional. Johnson knew he was butchering Luke. He knew he would piss off people by amping Rey's Mary Sue status to 11.
Every single thing he put in the film he put in with the sole intent to hurt the fans.
"Salt."
He didn't want the money. He wanted to taste our salt. He wanted to see us suffer.
Rian Johnson is a sadist and a sociopath, a butcher of art and a hater of Star Wars.
Am I being too dramatic? Perhaps. But deep down, you know everything I've said is true.
Ah then that fits. In fact, considering he directed Looper, such a thing is only to be expected.
The worst part about this though, is that there isn't any hope for any kind of pleasant surprise in the next movie. Abrams will stick to his straightforward style, and considering he has to base his movie on this mess, well, I am not looking forward to it, that's for sure.
The only way this hack shit can be somewhat redeemed is if Snoke shows up immediately, Kylo goes "wtf" and Snoke asks "Have you heard the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise?".
There's no saving Luke, however. He [SPOILER - highlight to read]: died because he was tired. Meanwhile, his untrained sister flies through space like Superman. It's just utter insanity.
[SPOILER - highlight to read]: I'm very disappointed we didn't see Luke throw down in this film. The force illusion was cool and all, but I still wanted to actually see him kick some ass. And then he just dies for some reason because he was "enlightened" or some BS. Yuck.
