To me it is not about he mistake

Fixed for you and for every Star Wars fan who thinks they speak for the majority. You can have all the opinions you want, but trying to shore up imaginary support behind you only shows that you doubt the value of your own argument.

Hell he could have even tried to reach Kylo more at the end. But he was all about the cool lines. Then he just fucking dies. RJ made sure that Luke could not be redeemed .

From what I saw, it was him taking to heart Yoda's statement of the apprentice reaching levels beyond the master. Luke wasn't there to take over and save the day. It was to give Rey and the others time enough to escape. It was to let Rey, who was clearly far more invested in reaching Ben than he was, have the chance to do so again in the future.

No, it's not fully redemptive, but then again, it doesn't have to be. Remember that death is not the end in the Force. Luke can still come back as a Force Ghost.
