@popdetective: Luke Skywalker was never a power fantasy in the original trilogy but there’s a concerted effort to rewrite his story and turn him into one. #lukeskywalker #starwars #themandalorian #thelastjedi #jedi
Luke WAS a badass jedi warrior... to everyone else. the reason he's a bumbling idiot in the og movies is because it's told from HIS PERSPECTIVE. by the time we see him being a badass is when it's told from another perspective

Top 1 worst take in history, not to mention that scene is 5 years after ROTJ

Walking into a room with Vader and Palpatine and being the only one to walk out alive kinda turns you into a badass in the eyes of the galaxy

Just because he isn’t portrayed as cool in the original trilogy doesn’t mean he doesn’t have the ability to be cool at all, wtf kinda take is this video?

Saying Luke wasn't a bad ass is the dumbest thing I've heard today

Thank you. How did he learn how to use a saber as masterfully as prequel jedi without any formal training

From a farmers boy to be a jedi knight is pretty badass!

Bad take. He was only bumbling before dagobah. He was still out classed by Vader until he got more training between empire and return of the Jedi, and of course he continued to train after, else he’d never have been able to train Ben Solo. Fact is he improves because of his connection to the force more than anything else.

Luke had several years to train and improve by the point of the scene. and in original Canon I gave you Legends, he becomes the most powerful Jedi to have ever exist by his time. so now Disney in is doing the same thing in their Canon, because they know that is what the fans know and want to see.

It's almost like the mandalorian is set after TESB where Luke has had more time to master the Force...

The best moment for Luke is when he throws his lightsaber away. That was the culmination of his character arc

This is my lukewarm take, it’s practically room temperature, just a basically reading of the text. And y’all are treating it like it’s the surface of the sun lol ☀️🌞

One could say that choosing love and family was pretty badass!!! He’s just not the typical “badass” that the patriarchy wants us to think of!

It’s called a character journey. He overcame all that in the OT to become a powerful Jedi

the entire point of his bad ass scene is to show he has grown as a Jedi since the original films. no one likes him in the new films not even mark hamil. this scene had me jumping in excitement to finally see him at his full potential
