    Seriously, maybe start a movement that teaches the Force belongs to all, whether as powerful as a Jedi or as simple and every-day as just using it to grab stuff.

      That was kind of a plot they had used in one of the Jedi Academy games that was effectively the explanation as to why you could use dark side and light side powers. Basically Luke thought that shielding from either side would obviously make the taboo subject way more enticing, so his whole concept was balance in all things, including knowledge of dark and light.

        His one mistake was that he didn’t realize that a weird clone of a guy that died years ago was going to manipulate the son of his sister and best friend into thinking Luke was going to kill him. What a fool!

          In the extended universe, a weird clone of the same guy who died years ago appeared and manipulated Luke into falling for the dark side and being his right hand man for a bit, so really, which is worse?

      Rian Johnson made a movie about that and people got really mad.

        I thought it was heading that direction, but at the end, Rian just separated them into Jedi/Sith again.

          I maintain that Disney coerced a status-quo ending after seeing the dailies and going “Oh SHIT.

          The whole movie is so thematically consistent and detailed that the sudden lurch backwards, right at the end, makes no goddamn sense otherwise. It’s a surprise fourth act of “whoops, nevermind.”
