    What potential answer to the mystery box of “Luke has hidden himself and completely cut himself off from the force” is there other than self exile?

      I would ask you to consider why Yoda did the same? beyond the obvious of Palatine trying to kill him? Wasn’t Kylo/Snoke trying to do the same to Luke? Yoda was camped on a dark side nexus or something IIRC from the various sources.

      but self exile doesn’t need to mean surly and in video game media we have seen Luke running around doing a bunch of stuff outside of the eyes of the new republic. What reason could obi-wan have for letting vader kill him? fans ask in the 70s after leaving the theater.

      It’s not about it being a self exile. It’s about the portrayal of his personality and beliefs in that exile.
