Thanks to Rian Johnson, Luke Skywalker is now the worst Jedi master in the history of the Star Wars universe. He sensed some darkness in a student and rather than trying to help that student, he snuck into his sleeping quarters in the middle of the night to try to assassinate him. Never mind that this particular student was the child of his sister and his best friend.The weird thing is that a few years earlier, he had bravely walked, alone, onto the death star because he sensed a small amount of good in Darth Vader and wanted to save him. So Luke was entirely inconsistent, student assassination aside.
But then, after he fails at that, he abandons the Jedi and the force altogether and goes to become a hermit on an island somewhere, while the rest of his friends deal wtih their loss and the re-emergence of the empire without him, because nothing says "Luke Skywalker" like "Oh no, my friends are in trouble, I'm going to run the other way and hide where no one can find me," even though in Empire he literally left his training and ran to save those exact friends on Cloud City.
Then, when he has a chance to actually BE the inspiring hero and give hope to the rebellion (which is a supremely confusing thing in the first place... didn't the good guys win at the end of Episode 4?), he sends a force projection instead of going himself.
So thanks to Rian Johnson, the legacy of Luke Skywalker, hero to millions of fans for more than 30 years, is this: he's an incompetent buffoon who knows nothing about the force, driven to murdering his own family because of fear, and is so afraid to face his own padawan in a lightsaber duel that he literally kills himself to get out of it.
Sorry, #NotMyLukeSkywalker
