Originally posted by Darth ThorRight, it's challenging the idea of Luke as the wise Jedi Master we expected him to be, as opposed to the flawed and susceptible individual we're presented with, who's become deeply disillusioned and lost hope.
That's Mark's point. He's the Jedi Master and should be capable of counseling himself. Like Mark said, if this was a few weeks or months, then fair enough, but not for years.
Then he should have said that, instead of saying "The Jedi Must End!"That's the cynical conclusion he comes to yeah, that the Jedi and the concept of what it is to be a Jedi are beyond saving. Could he have taken a more optimistic reformist approach? Yeah. But that wouldn't have driven conflict, like Rian said, for Rey it's the hardest thing for her to possibly hear in that moment.Problem is he wasn't reforming the Jedi, which he could have done being the only one. But instead He was advocating their extinction. And this before he's helped in sorting out the Snoke and Kylo problem.
