I agree 100% with your thoughts on Luke in TLJ--his reaction is completely out of character with ROTJ Luke. The amount of character assassination done to Luke Skywalker is IMO the biggest flaw of a film filled with them. Leia is critically under-used, and then without any setup, can space-Mary Poppins her way out of the cold vacuum of space? It's farcical. Otherwise, she does nothing but act as a figurehead for the Resistance who spends most of the movie sidelined except for stunning her best pilot.

IMO, all of the Big Three have been horrifically misused in DisneyWars. I agree that much of the old EU was cornball-insane (Yes, I too have read The Crystal Star.) I also still prefer it to everything Disney has done. At some point, I may be sufficiently annoyed to point out a number of physics and tactics-related screwups in DisneyWars, but honestly, I'm almost devoid of interest in the new trilogy to even devote vitriol towards its many, glaring errors. I personally do not plan on watching Episode IX, because the current state of the GFFA is nothing I care to support. I only saw TLJ because the tickets were offered to me by a friend and I left the theater appalled and angry.
