The biggest issue with The Last Jedi
The hardest thing to accept is that everyone wanted Luke to be a world killer... & instead, they used him as a tool to disbar the Jedi religion.
The Jedi had some really big problems & so in order to enjoy this movie... we have to accept that the Jedi religion had to be undermined... & so Luke had to show some serious problems to demonstrate how f*cked the Jedi religion really is.
The most obvious problem is "no romance." No getting your freak on.
Nuff said right there. Freud got famous due to existing in a society that restricted the natural sexual impulses. He actually linked almost every psychosis to a sexual disorder... & he was right "for his time."
However, in a sexually free society... many of Freud's theories break up. In other words... a lot of things are problems "only because" Sex is prohibited. This is a real problem with the Jedi religion & obviously a part of the reason why Disney wants to change what the force means to us. They don't want to keep promoting a monogamous society. Princes & princesses falling in love & getting together against all ods & having kids is what they want.
I have a feeling that Disney's long term goal is to focus on the "force" more than specifically the jedi.... so they had to make the Jedi seem flawed which f*cks with 40 years of us thinking the Jedi were the bomb... but opens the door to their new message.
There is also another running theme across most of their movies: "anyone can do anything with perseverance."
However, the Jedi were originally written to be "born into it." Being "born into it" & having Skywalker blood, is in direct opposition to Disney's over all message. It destroys every boy & girls hope of "being able to achieve anything they want to do. "
Well, I can't be Jedi because my Midichlorian count is too low, so I guess I'll sell crack for a living yeah?
So they had to nix that message & kill the Jedi religion in order to allow kids to relate to people like Chirrut (Donnie Yen's character from Rogue One) who wasn't force sensitive, but used the force much in the same way as one would use the "Eternal Tao" in real life. IMO... that is the message they are pushing toward & will expand up on in future movies n stuff. That is the reason they had to show flaws in the Jedi religion. You pretty much can't have Luke all happy go lucky if you're trying to show that the Jedi religion is flawed. So that's why they did it.
Sux for Luke... & for all of us who wanted to get a vicarious power fix through Luke's sic god-like abilities... but lets stop being so selfish & think about all the future Jedi who can now get laid.
Somebody's going to have to tap Rey's sweet ass before she goes all Sith on us. That's just real. None of this clusterf*ck would've happened if Anakin could've been the playa he obviously waz. Him & Ahsoka should've been expressing the force through their loins all through the Clone Wars. The only reason why Ahsoka likely didn't go Sith is because she left the jedi order & probably went straight out & got laid. She probably freaked on that for quite some time. It's like the preachers daughter who was born into sexual resistance & she becomes the freakiest freak that ever freaked for the simple reason that her sexuality was suppressed. I've heard of this being a common thing, but I actually grew up knowing a preachers daughter in my school... & I can confirm this reality.
Long story short... the Jedi religion had to be undermined... & it's biggest hero had to have problems & not develop into a god in order for people to get all this straight. So just accept that & then re-watch it & you'll enjoy it a lot more.
