Luke even said he got arrogant and just assumed that he would be this amazing awesome Jedi Master teaching a new crop of Jedi apprentices. He didn't even think about someone being able to infiltrate his thoughts. I almost feel like the movie does a great job of showing that even a heroic figure can have failures and faults. It's also incredibly reflective of the weaknesses of his father. You can argue that Luke should have learned from those mistakes and overcome them, but then you get into Mary Sue territory like they did in the Extended Universe where he was almost a god. It doesn't matter, because "Mary Sue" and "child killer" aren't the only two options here. His father was manipulated into murdering a bunch of children. Luke Skywalker was manipulated into seeing another Darth Vader, not feeling like he had the power to stop him, and thus contemplating FOR A MOMENT making sure it didn't happen. People creating a narrative just to shit all over something they don't like. --- https://imgur.com/3PWjCdY https://imgur.com/GWG5c3r <cite>Jeff AKA Snoopy posted [p:904544685] in Chinese fa...
