Was that Luke saying the Jedi must end?
I suspect this ties in to what Rey was saying about balance.
I’ve felt for a while that the Star Wars “big lesson” was going to end up being that extremes are ultimately doomed to fail, whether the Jedi who end up lost in endless debate and paralysis or the Sith with who recklessly pursue power until they are destroyed by their own ambition. My guess is that Luke will end up fulfilling Vader’s legacy by “bringing balance to the Force” and eliminating both the Sith and Jedi orders which he sees as the source of much of history’s conflict.
For what it’s worth I hope I’m wrong, because that means PC wins, and moral equivalence is the cultural phenomenon’s legacy.
still have a Han Solo stand alone origin movie coming as well, they better not ruin that one..
“For what it’s worth I hope I’m wrong, because that means PC wins, and moral equivalence is the cultural phenomenon’s legacy.”
Unfortunately, PC and moral equivalence was already Star Wars’ legacy since Obi-Wan told Vader “Only a Sith deals in Absolutes” in Revenge of the Sith. Heck, it was that legacy since Obi-Wan told Luke “Many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our point of view” after Luke confronted him about lying to him about Vader killing his father when, in reality, Vader IS his father, or at least was his dad, in Return of the Jedi.
