“it’s time for the jedi to end” YOU TAKE THAT BACK RIGHT NOW LUKE

actually, luke saying this is a VERY GOOD THING. He doesn’t mean hes not going to train Rey, or that he wants to die or anything, but the Jedi, as an entire order and concept, need to end. The Jedi movie-canonically were VERY controlling, and their approach, which means taking children from parents at the age of infancy, to raise them to a state where ideally they have no emotional attatchments to the world, and shun their own needs as being disgraceful and shameful? The Jedi are the sole reason that Palpatine was able to get so tight a grip on Anakin– because he fell in love and acted on that love, which was the most disgraceful thing a Jedi could do, any not only woud he have probably been evicted from the Order had they found out, they probably would snatch up Luke and Leia the second they were born, or at least monitor the family extremely closely if Anakin and Padme refused. The Jedi try to force people into being blank slates that only do ‘good’ which includes never ever falling in love, never having ‘friends’ and only doing something for the Greater Good– think Dumbledor, but as a galaxy-spanning thing. Luke has obviously uncovered at least part of the Jedi’s true history, and realizes that the Jedi caused more problems than they solved, especially when used as enforcers for a single government, despite their original standing as a religious order
