[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 7564583, member: 710"] Luke didn't really have to become more powerful. But I can't see how a Luke that turned Darth Vader back from the Dark Side of the force, a Luke that risked life and limb (literally) to try to save his friends on Bspin or from Jabba the Hut, would turn his back on his best friends, his family in a time of need. It just doesn't feel like the Luke from the movies. I notice that you don't respond to one observation by me: It doesn't really matter that you can explain the winning, regardless of whether you can bring good arguments or not. The thing is - there is no sense of struggle. And it might actually be justified in TFA, since Luke isn't struggling all that much in ANH either, except emotional (death of his uncle and aunt, death of Obi-Wan, which mirrors Rey's struggle to leave her homeworld behind, and also Finn's struggle to not just run away from the First Order, but run towards the Resistance and Rey). But he is in definitely struggling in ESB, on Hoth in the cold, on Dagobah in his training, and finally when confronting Vader. He gets to come out alive, but he had to work for it. But Rey doesn't seem to struggle - she learns Jedi stuff, she helps Kylo beat the First Order's lead man, and gets everyone to safety. (Where as Luke's presence on Bespin wasn't actually important even, he mostly got himself in trouble). The only thing she is hit with is basically the claim that her parents are nobodies - which most people's parents probably are, and most people still would want to know why their parents would leave them. Even a nobody's answer is interesting here for the child left behind. [/QUOTE]
