The defense of the last jedi is so stupid

TLJ, for me, has a terrible flaw. I can ignore most things, nitpicking is for assholes since it can be done to any piece of media.
But the whole "suicide maneuver" in the end, just by existing, invalidates the plot of episode 4, 6 and 7.
If you can destroy ships like that, then nothing prevents you from just loading a big ship, send it against the death star and bye bye.
And what it did to Luke, which was a very positive character, stripped of his most distinctive trait to create a "grey" character which doesn't serve any purpose.

what people wanted was a wise old mentor figure like how obi wan was to luke but for rey
like a elder experienced in life able to pass on lessons to the next generation
but instead we got a cynical hermit who gave up on life and just exists as some old geezer hobo.
drinking milk from the tit of a animal like some uncivilized caveman

There is a reason why that suicide tactic wasn't used commonly, but I don't remember it right now, so I won't discuss that.
We can blame JJ for that one, Rian stated his biggest challenge was actually writing a reason why Luke would abandon his friends for so long while they were struggling with the first order. The director before him for 7 didn't make that easy lol

Apparently TLJ wasn't the first time that was done, it happened before somewhere in the old EU before the disney wipe. They probably just borrowed it from that
They didn't, but Luke would not abandon his friends normally, so the way he did it was the logical reason. Mind you, in Episode 7, it was established that Luke cut off all contact and didn't share his coordinates after searching for the ancient jedi temple lol

Luke wouldn't have stayed in no Jedi temple just because of some secret evil. He left his training to save his friends in episode 5, he went out of his way to save Leia and Han in the beginning of 6, and in the end when Vader threatened to take Leia as his apprentice he lost his shit and lashed out in anger.
Luke is impulsive, always has been. The moment he found out that Leia was in danger or that Han was dead he would have left immediately. He was never going to kill Ben, he drew his saber on impulse. His vision showed him Kylo hurting his loved ones, based on his behaviour in the past movies, that wasn't a surprise. He's impulsive. I don't know how the old EU portrayed Luke, but I remember how he was portrayed in the OT lol
