      That happens across several different scenes of the movie, so not an “isolated” sin, but a very thorough trashing. There’s the green milk, the total 180 in his personality for no reason, the attempt to kill his sleeping nephew and probably other things I’ve forgotten.

      While the scene where he fights Kylo looks cool, that happening because “it was a force ghost/projection all along” felt like a litmus test of how much bullshit people were willing to swallow. Sure, the force is basically space magic, but physically clashing sabers one minute and being completely holographic the next? Funnily enough, if the fight was entirely Luke dodging Kylo, that would’ve worked so much better.

        …it was Luke just dodging Kylo? Their lightsabers never make contact in that fight at any point. Kylo’s lightsaber sparks a bit, but it’s not from hitting Luke’s saber - at one point it sparks even when he’s like 20 meters away or something and he does a little twirl.
