Like the part where he mind tricks everyone and walks out like a badass and then saves his sister and the Resistance. Then yes

He doesn't actually walk out anywhere (he never leaves his sofa on Ach-to.):lol

So that's hardly a badass - well, other than the Just-for-Men Chuck Norris beard.:monkey3
 
This is the Luke that I would like to have seen in the ST.

Is that the AchTo head on the Jedi body? What’s the formula. Looks really cool.
 

Luke dyes his beard, starts to put on his ST X-wing jumpsuit... then suddenly stops as he has a better idea....

Yes.... I get my revenge on that whiny barrel-chested poonce-wan, and get to save everyone like a boss... and I don't even need to leave the house to do it!

Hmm I’d say using the most powerful force move ever seen is pretty badass, but hey that’s just me. I like Star Wars for more than just flashy lightsaber duels

Maybe it's a generational thing. I like it when heroes actually show up.:dunno

And the only lightsaber duels I like are Ben vs Vader and Luke vs Vader - neither of which were "flashy." And... which all participants were actually in attendance for.:lecture

Maybe he didn’t wanna get vaporised by a bunch of first order ships. I honestly don’t get how transporting yourself through the force onto the otherwise of the galaxy isn’t cool. Nah just going there and getting murdered is way cooler. Instead of mind ****ing everyone, then looking off into the binary sunset just like his journey began. Yeah that’s totally lame.

But... so cool he ended up "murdered" anyway?

How is not going there and getting murdered way cooler if the result is exactly the same (saves the day but dies doing it) and if he's actually there he also takes on all that risk. That's inspiration for future rebels, whereas holo-phoning it in feels less so. Maybe it's clever what he does, but it really doesn't feel brave - and heroes certainly need both but bravery is the more valued attribute. And actually showing up to the fight also gets hero points.

I guess it hinges on this very unclear/poorly explained idea of "you can die doing the holo-prjection thing" - but it's pretty unclear and you don't really sense the risk of it before and during the process.

And even as a clever bit it just feels a bit virtual reality Madden NFL vs actually running that yard line if you know what I mean. Like it was a cool goal and all but he was never really even there to begin with, so where's the "aspirational" aspect for the kid watching it?
