Trevorrow's script (which to be clear, overall was just as bad as TRoS) kind of ran with that direction too.Yeah and for me that's how I read it.But I think what we needed, what we didn't have, and what it really would have been kind of Johnson's job to give us (and which might still be given in some future Filoni cartoon or something) is an insight into what was going on at the Jedi training place at the time this happened.Like, had Luke basically started following Prequel-era Jedi approaches because they seemed to work or something? Or because perhaps a prequel-era survivor(definitely not Ahsoka though!) or force ghost was influencing him? So he got into thinking in bad Prequel-Jedi ways?So I do feel like it was a bit of a leap. Like the lead-up should have been dwelled on more.I guess I don't see the insulting bit, because Luke didn't do it.Loads of people have had a very bad idea and nearly acted on it. Everyone over the age of about 20, maybe. Luke isn't a saint. He nearly fell to the Dark Side before. But then he didn't. Was that "insulting"?</blockquote>
