Not just any old fan either: Mark Hamill himself has since said that this isn’t his Luke Skywalker, even that he played him as ‘Jake Skywalker’.

I find it odd that Rian Johnson wasn’t troubled by this. Imagine making another Godfather movie with Pacino, where Shouty-Al is openly saying the new Michael Corleone is so wrong that he isn’t even trying to play the original character. Surely that would give any writer or director pause for thought – at the very least.

And it’s not that the ‘broken down old Luke’ thing is wrong – I’ve been saying ever since Force Awakens that Luke Skywalker should be handled like Eastwood’s Will Munny in Unforgiven. The problem was in execution.

There was no need for Luke to have betrayed, stomped on, and kicked into the gutter his whole arc from the original trilogy. Luke contemplates slicing up Leia’s young son in his sleep? Good Lord. How did Johnson get so off course? And it still doesn’t address why Ben was going bad in the first place. Just born evil I guess, simple as that.

Luke failing as a teacher and tormented by guilt over allowing Ben to be groomed by the repellant Force-child-predator Snoke – was more than enough!

And a better heroic send off for Luke would’ve been nice too. Something more than the cheap trick that we’ve come to associate with Loki from The Avengers. Was that seriously the best RJ could come up with?
