    Which would make sense if he considers lightsabers irrelevant to the new teachings of the Jedi, except he still uses that very lightsaber when going against Kylo

    Nah, he views lightsabers as irrelevant, and he doesn’t use a lightsaber against Kylo. He uses an illusion of a lightsaber, and he doesn’t even attack with it. He just dodges and distracts. The lightsaber is nothing more than a symbol to distract Kylo. It’s serving the same function as a set of jangling keys.

    And he had to have that pacifistic viewpoint, that anti-lightsaber viewpoint, because Abrams put him on an island during a war. The best answer RJ could come up with to that is that he’s become a pacifist.

      Would a pacifist pick up a weapon to defend themselves and even hit back? Because that’s exactly what he did when Rey attacked him.

      I don’t get your need to defend Rian Johnson. I have nothing against him. I loved Looper and I enjoyed Knives out movies. I’m simply calling out a stinker for what it is, a stinker. And the last Jedi is a godtier stinker.

        Yes, a pacifist would.

        I get that the movie has flaws, but it also has more vision and philosophy than any other Star Wars movie, and I prefer a movie with vision. The Canto Bight stuff was weak. They did a terrible job with Finn. Rose is unlikable. But the Rey and Luke stuff is peak Star Wars.
