@swan2swan no it didnât. Lukeâs character arc is still consistent. Heâs impulsive sure, but he still does the right thing. He saw visions of someone killing and destroying everyone and everything he loves and for a brief moment, thought he could stop it. Just like in ROTJ, he pulls himself back from the edge before he does anything. And Iâm so glad you apparently know canon so well that you alone can dictate it. Makes so much sense that you personally get decide what is and isnât canon.
Fun thing about fiction, kid:
None of itâs real. Not a bit.
So, if you want to reorganize and reconstitute your imagination, thatâs fine. If a corporation is going to start telling a story about a young man raised to do evil things who decides to NOT do evil things and then just scrap his story arc to focus on the white man who grew up in privilege but a corporation dictated that the story needed to focus on the Tormented White Man and then force a young woman into having a romantic obsession with him...Iâm throwing that piece-of-trash script right back at them and telling them to focus on the black guy, because that would be different and creative. If theyâre going to leave the storytelling the hands of a few white men without proper coordination or actual input from women, Iâm going to reject it, because Star Wars deserved better than the writer of Batman v. Superman and the guy who threw a pointless woman-in-underwear scene into Star Trek.Â
The actors deserved better, the actresses deserved better, the characters deserved better, the fans...really didnât deserve anything, but young girls and people of color deserved better. So did non-heterosexuals. And, weirdly, heterosexuals.
Point being: if it doesnât line up, if it doesnât make sense, if it ainât consistent, itâs done and gone.Â
