Does your cousin still have it?
I mean in fairness the New York Democratic Party is notoriously filthy
The problem is that the explanation we get for Luke is the issue. If he was defeated, you have to give a good reason. Tlj wasn't it. It tries so hard to subvert expectations that it abandons logic to get there.
The movie doesn't want to showcase reasons for things, it just says they happen and wants you to roll with it.
tbh the actual big mistake with him (and Leia for that matter) was just destroying the new republic and putting things back to reheated Rebels vs Empire. That was basically saying "yeah nothing in the OT mattered"
What has the LAPD done to fix this problem?
It's not the expectations or the disappointment that I take umbrage with, it's the singular focus on something that's ultimately subjective. You can argue that his regression is bad for the character while others might argue it's fine.
But everyone should agree that the Holdo Maneuver is dumb or that the Canto Bight scene was both unnecessary and hamfisted or that the space chase scene was plodding and contrived or Rose's murder-suicide attempt to kill herself and Finn was irrational. That's the crap that made TLJ a terrible movie, not your expectations for Luke's character being unmet.
My beef is with people who are indignant because his characterization in TLJ didn't align with the head canon they'd spent decades cultivating for themselves.
Luke going from the noble Jedi he was supposed to be at the end of ROTJ to the bitter hermit he was portrayed as in TLJ is no more jarring than him going from whiny bitch in ESB to noble Jedi in ROTJ, or from Yoda going from noble Jedi in the PT to crazed hermit in ESB.
Of all TLJ's flaws - and there are so, so many - Luke's characterization shouldn't be one of them to anyone casually interested in the IP.
Because he's never been portrayed as a noble Jedi before. He was a green kid in ANH. He was a whiner in ESB. He could have passed as a noble Jedi in the ROTJ's first act. And he wasn't in TFA. There's not much in these four movies to hang your Noble Jedi hat on.

these posts are so weird to me
Gentlemen! Let's broaden our minds.
I naively and stupidly gave 98% of my SNES games to my uncle's girlfriend, and no one stopped me and I thought that was really annoying that I don't have them any more. I had some great ones, and some of the dumb ones (like that unicycle racing game).
I'm not gay! I have relationships with women and sex with men!
There were people asking how the husky got into a crib. It jumped, husky is a big dog. Big dogs other than pit bulls often get a reputation of gentle giants and the owners dont perceive the threat.
If this was a pit...
No one here would be doubting this story of the dog was a pitt bull. They would instead be calling for pitts to be banned.
Just saying.
Same but I dig your humor, FWIW.
I agree with that, but not the score. Agree on the detente scene, also the ill buy you an ice cream
People here complain about Mississippi and Alabama and Arkansas but personally they're all the damn same to me. Terrible places to live but they're cheap and I wouldn't be able to afford a move. Terrible people overall. Southern kindness is shallow at best. People make it sound like we're the nicest people in the world but wait until you're out of view and they're going to talk shit.
Its fine. The score is grating. You could argue Moores best. Im taking at least half Connerys, both Daltons a Brosnan or two and a few of the Craigs over it. oHMSS too.
I know another person here who lives in Louisiana. was that you or someone else? I remembered there was south in their username. I think they lived near or in New Orleans.
