    Hey TLJ was good. RoS…yeah I definitely try to forget that exists. Palpatine flying around on the weird tentacle arm thing made me audibly groan and roll my eyes so hard they nearly fell out.

      I still hold out that Rey and Ben should have switched sides in that movie (at least temporarily), because it really would have let us explore some cool ideas that hadn’t been done before.

      But I do agree that the “letting go of the past” thing was a really great theme to have as the core of the movie, because it shows that Luke was falling right into the same mindset that the Jedi order had and was their downfall. But this time, he didn’t let the “old ways” become his downfall.

        That definitely would have been interesting and there were a lot of scenes in TLJ that hinted Rey was exploring some dark thoughts. Too risky for the mouse I guess.

        As much as I think it would have been really cool to explore that as well. Here’s just a little friendly reminder that “let the past die” is coming from the villain of the movie
