Great episode. I love how you both bring something different and see different things in the stories.
This is the first time I have heard someone defend what they have done with Luke’s character and I am honestly floored. Like Mark Hamill, I fundamentally disagreed with every choice they made with this character and I haven’t read a single book from the expanded universe.
What they have done is taken a well established character and completely changed their personality at the deepest level. Luke had certain core values that were the very basis and motivation for the original trilogy. For Rian Johnson to go against this just shows that he himself has no concept of the fundamental core values that Luke represents in the original trilogy hence Mark Hamill’s disagreement with him.
