So annoyed as this is what the film episodes 7,8 and 9 could and should have been. This is the first time I have seen Luke Skywalker as an absolute supreme bad ass Jedi (even more so than Ashoka!) this what he was always supposed to have been- the one who brings balance to the force etc. as powerful as his father- Anakin. In these Luke moments he resembles the hooded figure of Anakin and I wonder if this was on purpose?
I have watched the final scenes 3 times now and it is done to perfection. Through the CC tv cameras we see Luke truly doing his stuff, and the big reveal comes when you see the gloved prosthetic hand and green saber, while the others look on in astonishment close to annihilation from the Cylon esque 'Dark troopers' and the comment 'it's a Jedi' - there was something almost mysterious and magical. I suppose this is why the scene is perfect as the Jedi is kind of considered a mystical being in this era of Star Wars expanded universe as opposed to the disappointment of the grumpy old tramp Luke was portrayed as in the new films. Well done again Disney team on this 👍
