        It's one thing to be "fallible", it's another thing to be a pussy who gives up at the first setback. Luke didn't give up when his foster parents were murdered, he didn't give up when he found out his dad was space Hitler and then his dad beat the shit out of him and left him for dead, he didn't give up when his dad's boss offered him his dad's job... but he gives up because his nephew is a fricking shit head. That's not "deep", that's just shitty writing... must be 18 to post here.

        wow that's the dumbest shit I read this week for sure.
        How do you even miss the point this hard in a fricking goofy fantasy flick that basically spells it out?

        standing over his nephews bead with a knife is literally moronicly out of character. Luke was such a believer in the good in people that he thought Vader still had good in him after Vader had participated in mass genocide and blowing up planets. And he was vindicated in the end so no matter what his nephew did he wouldnt have been lurking in the childs bedroom standing over him with a knife even for a moment or whatever.

          The story is even dumber than that. Because Snoke tells Rey that he was the author of all the visions she thought she was having with Kyle, not only is her romance with Kyle non-existent (she was flirting with Snoke, kek) but the vision of Luke pulling a lightsaber on Ben is also false. So she attacks Luke and prematurely ends her training based on a lie. But it's cool, because everything worked out in the end... unlike Luke at the end of ESB, she learns nothing about being rash and impulsive. And this is why she is the greatest jedi.

    1 3 and 4 are only about "old people" because the young stars that made them blockbusters grew old. 2 is wut? That character had nothing to do with "growing old" he the moron who tweeted that is just trying to stretch to make a non existent point.

    Didn't a movie with a 60 year old Tom Cruise full of regret at his youthful failures do pretty well at the box office last year?
    And they didn't even have to get some posh English brunette to constantly emasculate him like Lucasfilm does.

      No, they had one of his co-stars who was horrifically stricken with throat cancer limp onto the set and wheeze out some lines in what was one of the best bro scenes of the decade. Iceman being a full Admiral while Maverick is still training cadets tells you all you need to know about wrong turns and regrets.

        I was under the impression that maverick was just refusing to accept his age and wanted to stay with cadets and enjoy that culture whereas iceman actually ranked up and grew up

        Are you guys actually moronic?
        Cruise wanted to keep flying and purposefully sabotaged his career in order to do so. Once you get to a certain rank you stop doing cool shit and go into leadership. Your flyboy/doorkicking days are over.

    >Luke's "failure" is that he listened to his sister and brother-in-law and started training some fricking edgelord who turned on him
    instead of wanting to fix the situation, he wants to sulk like a b***h
    > oh wait, he showed up at the last possible fricking minute, to save enough of the Resistance to fill one spaceship

    I hope the Zoomers teach ChatGPT how to write good plots, because Millennials fricking suck at storytelling.

      Actually, Luke's failure is that he didn't smack his moronic sister for mentioning that she saw a vision of her son becoming a sith lord

    Badly. They badly tell depressing stories of what it's like to grow old, usually with shitty endings of passing the once lucrative franchise on to worse characters, almost as if giving a bad ending but pretending it's a good one.

    Lucasfilm isn't even a studio anymore. It is just a label like Touchstone owned by Disney. Whatever is being credited to Lucasfilm is actually Disney doing it.
