    is Luke repeating the mistakes of his mentors

    Hum… One of (if not the one) main threads of episode V is that the Jedi order was a mistake… Then there’s an entire trilogy to explore this one point… And then Luke goes and recreates it on episode VII.

    Repeating the mistakes of his mentors is not a problem from episode VIII.

      Luke is just gone in vii, it’s not until viii that the reason is revealed. He could have been fighting a super sith or uncovering some secret trove of knowledge or kyber crystal. It could have been a place to commute with past jedi to learn how to adapt the jedu way to a more stable approach. All of that would be better than I left to be alone and die.

        He’s gone because he recreated the Jedi Order, it blew on his face like every other time the order existed, and a wannabe Empire appeared because of it. It’s perfectly fine right then for he to be in crisis.

        What he was doing was a “commute with past Jedi to learn how to make the order non-poisonous” quest. But he couldn’t possibly complete this one.
