It’s been years and I still can’t believe ppl gave mark hamill shit for stating, very correctly, that the luke skywalker from the sequels was OOC and not his luke. They took the galaxy’s most selfless, compassionate man - who was kind enough to believe darth goddamn vader could still be redeemed - and turned him into an angsty shut-in who exiled himself away from his friends and who would try to raise a blade against a sleeping teenager who was also his nephew.
Mark was right - whoever the hell that dude was, he is not luke skywalker.
It was Kevin Flynn because they can’t be bothered to make up a new story when they’ve got one they can recycle
(not that I totally believe the way Kevin Flynn ended up was in character either, but I’ll grudgingly allow it because enough centuries of isolation you’d be out of character too)
