Well he died so there's that, but he was probably as content as he had been in years in that moment.

Still, I understand that you can't have 60 year old Mark Hammill doing spins and flips like Yoda nor can he reasonably be the face of the franchise (he hasn't aged well) into the foreseeable future at his age and state.

He can be alive but not be the main focus of the story, but if you have to kill him, let him do what it is he set out to do instead of dieing a failure.

Did Luke ever teach Rey the 3rd lesson?

There was really no point of the Casino scene or Finn & Rose's mission.

The whole casino scene was pointless. They never actually met the master codebreaker and they just happen to get put into a cell with someone who is another codebreaker. Even then their plan fails and turns out to be pointless.

My guess is the force projection took so much out of him physically that it killed him.

The other theory is that he just said screwed it and died.

stop thinking. This is the new generation’s movie, they don’t like to think and may get offended if you use rationality

Correct.

Which is lazy and a slap in the face to a character like Luke Skywalker.

Yeah the biggest thing that came out of the casino scene was the little kid who is force sensitive.

unspoken lesson. It was a lesson on giving up and how to go out like a bitch

And it was just some nameless, faceless kid, had they not shown the ring at the end, nobody would've put two and two together.

BB-8 was used for humor maybe like 3 or 4 times in TFA. Here it's every god damn time he's on screen. It's just pathetic that the movie is constantly like "Hey look at me! Don't forget about me! See how crazy and funny I am?"

I wouldn't want him doing that shite. What I was wanting/expecting was for him to take all that fire power from the AT-ATs and redirect it at them using only the Force. That would have been fricking awesome.

The Yoda lightning scene was stupid as shite.

Where the FRICK was that when Luke needed it at the end of ROTJ or when Ben Solo was burning down the temple or when the star killer was about to fire or....never mind. You get the point. That was going full retard.

With the above precedent, Luke (now himself a force ghost) removes all tension from the rest of the movies because now there is an all-powerful force around them that can do pretty anything at anytime to get anyone out of any situation

are we going to ignore that Yoda's force ghost manifested a bolt of lightning and hit luke with a stick?

Can Anikan, Obi wan and Qui gon come back and force bolt shite now? Luke?
