This is the episode we can always point people to when the conversation turns to Luke in The Last Jedi.

We take the five most frequent criticisms of Luke Skywalker—green milk, his death, exile on Ahch-To, “the Jedi must end,” and the temple night with Ben—and treat them with the seriousness they deserve. No straw-manning, no “you just didn’t get it.” We try to understand why these moments felt like a betrayal after thirty-four years of waiting… and then we explain why, for us, the same moments still work.

It’s part empathy exercise, part defense of the character as written, and part invitation to watch the film one more time with a different set of eyes. Whether you love this Luke, hate him, or sit somewhere in the middle, this conversation is meant to be the reference point for the whole debate.
