Since its inception, Star Wars has been a science fiction myth.
In this myth, the enemy and the enemy camp are clearly divided: the Jedi warriors representing justice lead the rebel army in pursuit of freedom, creating a situation in which evil incarnates the Sith Lord and the galactic Empire tyranny.
In this myth, the revolutionary situation is a great good, not a small good. Although the righteous forces that have been enlightened by the "Force" cannot avoid setbacks, they do not prevent them from marching from victory to victory, and after the three major battles of Yawen, Endor and Jaku, decisive victories have been achieved. In this myth, the protagonist is famous and has been enlightened by a famous teacher into an extraordinary body. Breaking the pole and cutting the wood is bound to be a hundred responses, and going deep into the tiger's den can always turn the danger into a disaster.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi goes even more extreme. The film breaks the previous Force setting and tells the audience through Luke's mouth that the Force does not rely on blood, but is a force that anyone can have, and can even be seen as a belief.
Although the official explanation that the Force comes from the labyrinth of all things, the powerful Owners of the Force in the previous series of movies are all genetically inherited) The old Star Wars Six-Parts view of the Force is like Hinayana Buddhism, requiring one to become a monk and rely on a master to become enlightened, and even then one can only cultivate to the Arhat; this film becomes Mahayana Buddhism, emphasizing that everyone can practice on their own and have Buddha-nature in their hearts.
In addition, the subversion of the character of Luke Skywalker in "Star Wars 8" is also the most unacceptable to many Star Wars fans. In this film, Luke is depressed and reclusive, and in order to avoid Kylo Ren falling into the dark side, he almost kills his sleeping nephew. This setting does have a abrupt and sloppy side, and the consideration behind it is to cancel the concept of "chosen one" from the bloodline myth in Star Wars! Luke is no longer the "only hope" who can save the universe, nor does he want the Jedi Order to continue in this form of powerful and corrupted form.
A similar attitude has been taken in the past Episode of Revenge of the Sith. Obi-Wan said to Anakin, "You are the Chosen Son, and the prophecy says you should destroy the Sith, not join them!" Anakin believed that the Jedi Order had decayed. Seniority and conformism prevented Anakin from fulfilling his ambitions and dreams. You'll find that as long as the concept of Chosen Sons exists, Star Wars is still a game of natural heroes.
From this point of view, the "Force Awakening" is actually the awakening of the civilian epic era, and the "Last Jedi Knight" is the last look back of the old heroes.
