And there was one bit if entertainment we wanted from this new trilogy... Luke... And both directors saw it their duty to try and prove they could do it without him. I'm so sick of Hollywood pulling this crap. Get over yourself and your smug ambitions, this was so simple and you went and over thought the entire thing
You should really take your own advice.
A trilogy about Luke is what you wanted. But this story was never going to be about him. It's about Kylo Rey Poe and Fin. The OT characters are supporting pieces to the real story. No need to be pissed for it not being the story it was never going to be. Any "short comins" are your own, for building up something that was never there.
First of all... stop making this so personal by calling out others who feel differently than you. No reason to make this thread a hostile place. If people want to vent then just let them. Simply state how you feel differently and leave it at that.
And for the record, no, I didn't want a Luke Trilogy. I thought it was smart to leave him mostly out of Force Awakens. But there had to be a payoff for the fans waiting and this wasn't it. The Force projection of him was fine and awesome, right up to the point when he disappeared and we realized that was all we'd ever get. I loved the arc between him and Ben and how it was his failure and moment of fear that finally turned Ben. Great stuff! I never wanted to see God Mode Luke.
Our opinions are valid. Some of us were born in the 70's & 80's and this guy was our hero. He was the man. If they wanted to take the "bold" direction and send him off this way then they can put their big boy pants on and take the criticism. Guarantee there are fans all over the world pissed at how they handled Luke.
