Also my opinions on stuff changes with time I find. That is why I am very careful in how I frame my dislike of what TLJ did (again it isn't that it is a bad movie, and many of the things the Johnson did with Abram's material, which I have complained about, Abrams did with Johnson's material in the next film. Again there is clearly a romantic storyline with Rose and Finn, and it frankly just not good writing to pair him up with a random new character in the next movie, rather than build on the emotional arc they created in TLJ. I would honestly have to watch TFA again to remember exactly. But my recollection is they indicate something went south with Kylo and that had something to do with Luke being MIA. I don't recall if there were more implications beyond that. I get that this is what the Jedi Order might have done in the Prequels. But I just don't see Luke, as he was trained by Ben and Yoda going here. At the very least, it is a tall order that requires a lot more work than they put into it. They really have to do some heavy lifting to convince an audience that the guy who persisted in his belief in the goodness of Darth Vader is going to try to murder his nephew in the middle of the night because he sensed the darkside in him. Not only is it insulting to an audience who have justification for believing in Luke's goodness and optimism, it drags down the family connection there. Like this is the kind of Uncle behavior you expect from Junior Soprano not Luke Skywalker</blockquote>
