"You know you that bitch when you cause all this conversation."
1) It takes more than a few hours to travel from one part of the galaxy to another. So you have to adjust your time frame assumptions from the movie to understand how much time Luke and Ben spent together. Also explains why Luke is so tore up about his death, versus Ben being someone he knew for a few hours.
2) Luke was training with Yoda for a minimum of months, but more likely years. He was training there the entire time the Falcon was flying from the Hoth Solar System to the Bespin Solar System as sub-light speed.
3) No one cares that Rey is female. Using that argument to defend Rey would make it seem you can think of no logical arguments to explain why she can do what she did.
"Take the time to sit down and talk with your adversaries. You will learn something, and they will learn something from you. When two enemies are talking, they are not fighting. It's when the talking ceases that the ground becomes fertile for violence. So keep the conversation going."
~ Daryl Davis
This keeps getting brought up because nearly every single complaint about Rey applies equally to prior main characters in the films, and yet there wasn't any complaint about this stuff before.
So we look at what's changed, and there's really one obvious difference, and that's why it keeps coming up.
She has unwarranted talent with the Force, seemingly by birth? So did Anakin.
She has strength seemingly gifted straight by the Force itself? Ditto Anakin.
She's a fairly boring character, without much nuance? So was Luke.
She never fails? This one's just obviously untrue, and thus ignored.
She has combat skills? Luke did too, and Luke didn't have any training or experience. Neither Obi-Wan nor Yoda taught lightsaber combat, that we see. Rey, on the other hand, was fighting on a fairly regular basis just to survive. Which we are shown.

After being shot by a bowcaster by Chewie and after killing his father, which he was clearly in emotional distress over.

These leaks are so bad that they can't possibly be true. Which is why I've dismissed them for when the movie is actually out.
He decided to try and turn Vader. He didn't try his hardest, though. In fact, he almost outright murdered him at the end of RotJ, and only was stopped by seeing Vader's severed, robotic arm, and relating it to himself and his own hand that he lost.
Luke had already almost killed Vader before that, when he threatened to turn Leia to the Dark Side.
Luke barely managed to do anything in that fight.
Also, he didn't know Vader killed children. He just knew that Vader metaphorically killed his father, AKA killed himself.
Luke is the reason kylo turned to the dark side it’s his failure that drove kylo away from him and to snoke that compounded with the knowledge that the Jedi tend to screw things up and make the galaxy worse caused Luke to think the galaxy would be better off without them mucking things up.
Luke doesn’t give up on kylo Luke gives up on him self.
I really would love to find someone who is nearly 60 or even over that the same as someone who is barely in their 20s (rotj luke was 22). Most people in those 40 years become angry, cynical and just tired of shit.

It's almost as if they had the "Truths become true depending on point of view." Obi wan talked about.
Like others said, Luke does his absolute best to try and kill Vader twice in the final battle, almost losing himself to his anger. The Emperor taunts him about it, each time. You really can't watch that final battle and miss this stuff.
There's Mr. Light Side smashing his saber at his injured father on the floor before him, trying his absolute damndest to kill his dad, in a rage. There's no control, no technique, he's just smashing away like his saber's a paper and his dad's the biggest spider he's ever seen.
It would really help if people watched the damn movies and payed attention.
SPOILERS if you haven't read the books.
In the Aftermath trilogy of books that are canon, the machination that was buried deep within Jakku that was supposed to be used to destroy the planet was described as octagonal computer banks that were from an ancient civilization. The computers displayed 3-D star maps.
Based off geometric shaped rooms and computers, ancient civilization and star maps it sounds like it's plausible it's Rakatan.
They are making the KOTOR movies however, so this is all kinda irrelevant as that means Star Forge, that means Rakatan will be canon. Surely?
I didn't mind episode 7 that much. I know it felt like an Episode 4 tribute film but it actually was "Star Warsy" unlike the prequels which I disliked extremely. The Last Jedi was awful. I'd rate it on the same level as Phantom Menace for how half-cocked and lore-fucking it was. With Phantom the excuse was nobody told Lucas "NO!" they were all terrified to speak up and say something when he butchered his own lore. TLJ took a legendary character and absolutely butchered him. It was a complete tragedy and that director should be covered in honey and tied down next to a fire ant mound.

I agree. The Force Awakens was an ok movie aside from Rey having the saber fly into her hands it should've flew into the hands of Luke OR to make it even more shocking? It flies into the hand of FINN and gives the message: "You knock me down, I'll get right back up to save the day." like an actual Jedi.
"You know you that bitch when you cause all this conversation."
I think they made a mistake with this trilogy. I would have preferred either Rey be the force-sensitive but Finn be the primary protagonist or swap it and have him be the force sensitive and keep her as the protagonist. I think having the jedi be a side character would have made this trilogy more enjoyable.

All right, gentleperchildren, let's review. The year is 2024 - that's two-zero-two-four, as in the 21st Century's perfect vision - and I am sorry to say the world has become a pussy-whipped, Brady Bunch version of itself, run by a bunch of still-masked clots ridden infertile senile sissies who want the Last Ukrainian to die so they can get on with the War on China, with some middle-eastern genocide on the side
