I love how people say they ruined Luke while forgetting that he briefly turned to the Dark Side and almost murdered his own father but came to his senses at the last second.
Kind of reminded me of a scene in The Last Jedi.
I think theres a big difference between defending yourself from a lightsaber and getting pissed in the heat of the moment like he did against Darth vs almost killing your two best friends kid in his sleep cause he had some dark thoughts.
This exactly.
Also, like never turned to the dark side. Not in anything considered canon at least
You sure about that? Luke literally looks insane after cutting off Vader's hand and has his lightsaber at his throat.
No. He dipped into the Dark Side. He was pushed over the edge mentally through the combined efforts of Palpatine and Vader saying he'd turn Leia.
not to mention he's the son of Anakin... guy who slaughtered all the Jedi. he has that urge in himself. the difference is Luke is far more disciplined and steady in his resolve. Ben solo has that Anakin blood in him, too. That's part of the story: Luke overcomes this part of himself, Ben is feeding that darkness. Light and dark exist in everyone.
I'll admit that I'm that universe anyone of course has the potential to turn to the dark side and Luke has had moments where he was close but he always made the right decision. But the scene with Kylo Ren sleeping was a little much for me. I just think that was completely out of character and Mark Hamill agrees. Who knows his character better than him other than George Lucas maybe
