What’s more OOC? Han going back to smuggling and abandoning his wife and son or Luke cutting himself off from the force, contemplating killing his nephew and abandoning his sister? Thoughts lol???
I’ve been thinking about it…and I don’t know. I can’t decide what’s worse and I can’t decide what’s more out of character.
I can’t see Han going back to smuggling and abandoning Leia - that is just crazy. I’m really sick of fans screaming about how TLJ destroys Luke but that they thought what happened to Han in TFA was all right. No, it damn well wasn’t. I can’t see Han leaving Leia, I can’t see him going back to smuggling - which, why? In Bloodline, we can guess with Leia’s career ruined because of the Vader exposure, that maybe his business suffers? But why does he go right back to smuggling? Why does he think Leia can’t even look at him because Kylo turns? NONE OF IT MAKES SENSE. It’s not a Han I recognize. It’s not a Leia I recognize - she would look at Han like that? Why wouldn’t they pull together instead of apart - they did every moment of the OT!
Or there’s Luke. First, I have to somehow swallow that, instead of reasoning with Ben, who hasn’t done anything bad yet, he walks in on his sleeping nephew, his sister and best friend’s child, his only family besides them - and ignites a saber to kill him. Anyone who’s going to argue me that that is Luke Skywalker, I’m sorry, you can’t. That’s bullshit. That’s Jake Skywalker, as Mark said. The man who gave Vader a chance at 23, somehow can’t reason with his nephew at 40something.
THEN, I have to believe that…instead of Ben calling mom and dad to talk about why Uncle Luke’s lost it, he destroys the whole compound and kills some of his fellow students and takes the rest away. INSTEAD of killing his uncle who tried to kill him! Please explain that. And when you’re done with that, tell me why Luke would run away without a word to Han and Leia about their now crazy son who, for all Luke knows, will be after them next. Who instead of trying to stop Kylo or even figure out where he’s gone, he just hightails it off to find the “first Jedi temple” - for reasons we all thought. I mean, he sees all the evil Ben will do and…does nothing? Really? LUKE?
So he goes to the wellspring of the Jedi beliefs, then he promptly somehow cuts himself off from the Force and waits to die. He’s 53, it’s gonna be a long wait, unless he hurls himself off a cliff.
So I honestly don’t know. It’s pretty much a toss up, although frankly, Luke going to kill Ben is so egregious, it may win. I mean it’s like a contest as to which is worse, the Black Death or the Spanish flu epidemic, but that might be my vote.
As to the worse fate, Han wins. He loses his wife, his hard fought ascension to the upper echelon of society, his ship, and then his life, without even a battle or a chance. Cold blooded murder. At least Luke controlled his fate - it was his decision to not even get off his island to come to Leia’s aid…
No, that’s the determining factor, Luke is more out of character.
