If you believe that Luke, as we know him, should be a perfect paragon, a legend who never makes mistakes nor falters, and that one moment of weakness (which he overcomes) makes you \"violent, stupid, gullible, impulsive, paranoid, and a reckless failure\"... Then you\'re missing the entire message the film sends: deifying your heroes only leads to disappointment and failure. You don\'t have to like the message (again, YMMV), but that\'s what it is.
The Jedi were also very, VERY flawed and wrong in that belief, because that didn\'t just say \"don\'t let it cloud your judgement\", they said \"there is no emotion\". And Luke \'\'didn\'t\'\' let his emotions cloud his judgement. He faltered, yes. Then he overcame it and was filled with shame. A disciplined person can be tempted, but still make the right decision.
Luke\'s characterization will probably end up under BrokenBase when March comes, and that I agree with, because there is a definite split in the fanbase. But there are enough points people can argue on for it to not be ShockingSwerve.
