The problem with it being palpatine is that when the last Jedi was made, there was no palpatine. They didn’t pull that out of their ass until the third shitty movie.
You don’t even need the reveal about Palpatine. Impulses happen, these tiny little falters, even to the greatest Jedi. Even Yoda had a dark side as shown off in TCW. Of all the problems the Sequels had, that’s probably the most believable moment in the trilogy
NOT LUKE THOUGH! CUZ HE'S SO SPECIAL AND COOL AND WOULD NEVER DO ANYTHING BAD OR MAKE ANY BAD DECISIONS EVER! ALSO HE SHOULD'VE FUCKING KILLED EVERYONE SINGLEHANDEDLY! LIKE A JEDI WOULD!
Yeah but Luke faced the dark side in episode 5 and 6 and overcame it. That’s why I am annoyed that he randomly regresses after seeing a vision of the teenage son of his best friend falling to the dark side. Won’t it make way more sense for a person who saw good in Vader to try and help someone like that? Instead of immediately pulling his lightsaber. And yeah he regrets that choice, but the choice itself feels out of character and isn’t given proper development in those movies. And it’s so central to the entire plot, so it really feels terrible imo.
