Yep. It seems they are butchering Luke based on the trailer.

Don't you think that's a bit premature.

I think Hamill is imagining Luke as like Yoda, an embodiment of the light-side and all positive values.
But then Johnson is saying no, Luke's in the middle. There's a dark-side to him too, but also the good.
If that's the case, then I'm fine with Hamill disagreeing.

"Seems" is a pretty key word there.

disney just can't let star wars be star wars. If disney actually wants to change crap then they shouldn't have restarted the saga as they did with the premise of tfa

Yeah, you can't really infer anything like that from the trailer. Unless you are dead set against the idea of Luke being against another Jedi Order. If so, lel.

Uh, yeah I am. That's absolute shit and goes completely against what the character was in the OT. I'm hoping that he intends to create a better order of Jedi or something (and not this gray bullshit) but we'll see.

Yeah, the OT is being raped. Even the entire title of Return of the Jedi is rendered void.

Legends raped the OT far more than the ST has.

Eh, depends. There were hits and misses, but most of it didn't ruin anything in the OT or render it insignificant. Legends >>>> ST

I've loved the ST so far, so I don't even see the need to give excuses.
Just pointing out the obvious.

uh, no. Legends built on the ot, at best details were retconned. Disney took all the events of signifcance from the ot(and the saga as a whole) and either did away with them off screen or twisted them in to something.
Anakin's redmeption is not only made pointless, but vader
a. becomes part of the reason the new republic fails
b. is the reason his grandson turns to the darkside
Luke's jedi order is destroyed off screen
The new republic is weakened and gets crushed off screen(to be replaced with the resistance) and then is basically destroyed after about 5 seconds of screen time
The whole premise of tfa is basically anh making the saga before it utterly pointless. In other words disney rebooted star wars, and now they're trying to fundemenatlly change it.

Genuinely surprised people are defending the classic EU with Palpatine clones over the ST.
Once again, I find it amusing the biggest critics of Star Wars films are Star Wars fans.

Palpatine in DE redeemed his embarassing death in the OT. DE >>>>>>> ST
