I am a non-critic regular person who was around when the original trilogy was in theaters and who enjoyed TLJ. I remember young Luke Skywalker being extremely whiny, and it makes complete sense that he’d turn into a disgruntled old hermit. It confuses me that more people don’t see it that way.

I want you to understand that this man at the wheel is my attorney! ... He doesn’t look like you or me, right? ... I think he’s probably a wookie.
