Luke’s constant reluctance to train Rey and insistence that the Jedi must be lost has practically aligned him with the bad guys like Kylo and Snoke. Finding that balance gives some of the best conflict these characters have in the three movies. There must be a balance between old and new in order to have a balance in the Force, and neither Luke or Kylo understands this. He wants to let all things of the past die while asking Rey to join him. This, in fact, is why Kylo Ren is the villain of the trilogy. The older ideas must be abandoned at some point and cannot stay forever, but simply burning everything will result in good things being lost. First of all, we have destruction versus preservation. There are the general themes that I explained before, but then there’s the deeper ones with the most impact. This is where themes become most important in the film. In this movie, he’s attempting to end this cycle by finishing off the Jedi, which is both right and wrong, as I discussed previously. Remember in part one when I discussed this cycle of light and dark? Well due to that, it was bound to happen again, meaning Luke’s temporary peace and happiness was still going to end up ruined. So many have argued that Luke in The Last Jedi obliterated his happy ending in Return of the Jedi, and that simply isn’t true. I finished off part one by covering Luke’s character, and to start things here by continuing just that, except through different aspects.
