Sigh. Imo Lukes cameo was meta. It was meant to show Luke on the road to holding that saber over a sleeping Ben. Theres tons of evidence
BUT THEY MADE IT TOO "COOL". Certain fans just see their fellow gen x dudes joining them n
TLJ Luke. They undercut their own story. 1/9

Evidence.
A hallway massacre (the 3rd in 4 yrs. 2 n 2020 by Filoni) paralleling Vader/Maul...2 Dark siders. It wasn't heroic. It's ominous&foreboding.
Luke, n all blk, seen n blk/white on the screens. He's made NO progress twds Balance. It's all still blk&white to him.2/9

Luke's expressionless. No reaction to A BABY YODA ffs
(Possibly a function of the limits of the cgi but idk) Juxtaposed to R2's reaction which was so emotional. G's reluctant to join Luke until R2, a droid, out-emotes THE Luke Skywalker. A puppet also out-emoted him lol 3/9

There's an unnerving high dissonance n the beautiful music as Luke carries Grogu away. Dang, it helps create a pit in ur stomach.
No one asks who Luke is. He shows no empathy in separating parnt/child. It's all abt training. Hes perpetrating the OG sin of anakin/shmi. 4/9

Favs/Filoni r aware that separating parent/child is a huge prob. Ahsoka says it n The Jedi. Contrast her gentle kindness w robotic Luke.
Luke stares blankly fwd as a v aggressive elevator door severs the parent/child bond. Darrrrk. 5/9

A version of dies irae plays twice during Luke's actions. This is ODD if this sequence is meant to be taken as heroic badassery.
He walks in/out thru a coffin-shaped doorway. Coffin shapes line the hallway. This shape also surrounds kylo on his FO ship. 6/9

Luke's repeating the "join me" scenario a la Vader/tesb Luke, palps/rotj Luke, ani/padme, kylo/Rey. Eek.
Luke says he'll defend the Child w his life. We all know where hes headed w that lightsaber...standing over his own nephew, a fleeting thought to kill him.7/9

This whole thing's lost on fans that need to hear it most. The msg's too mixd. So, as is, imo idk if it's worth undermining what SHLD b the emotional climax...G leaving Din. I wish it'd bn made crystal clear if they were gonna make it. Hoping for a def statemnt n the bts doc8/9
Giving some "what they've always wanted to see" n order to send a meta msg abt the Jedi seems like a rly cool idea actually. But at what cost to the emotional crux of their Clan of 2 if it flies over the heads that need to hear that msg the most?9/9
