A Jedi Order with no oversight and a Jedi Order that rides bitch to the government: both resulted in horror. Pick your poison.

Long story short, the Expanded Universe, (very) flawed though it could be at times, was vastly superior to Disney's bullshit. The EU at least got the themes (mostly) right and didn't completely  butcher the heart of its best characters. I could turn this into a kriffing book, but, sticking with the topic:

Expanded Universe: Luke sees potential in a flawed man who got corrupted by one of the most powerful Sith Lords in galactic history, and a world pays the price for his mistake. Luke, being the de facto scion of the Light, chooses mercy. One can and should question his judgment all day long, but he remains consistent though flawed himself.  His idealism is simultaneously his greatest strength and his greatest weakness. This makes him a compelling character.

Disney Canon: Luke has nightmares about Ben turning to the Dark Side, but, instead of going after the source (Snoke) or peacefully confronting Ben, Luke decides to merc his nephew in his sleep, and five worlds paid the price. Yeah, he ultimately backs down, but the thought never should have crossed his mind to begin with. This is a man who put his very soul (and arguably the Rebellion) on the line to redeem his father. Years later, he has a few bad dreams and decided cold blooded murder is the best option? Disney's desire to subvert (government name: shit all over) everything that had been established up to that point completely butchered one of modern fiction's greatest heroes. And then the Kennedy regime had to twist the knife even more by turning him into a clumsy, reclusive hermit who turned his back on his sister, his brother-in-law, and his friends (nevermind turning Han into a deadbeat dad and Leia into the den mother for La Resistance (government name: the dime-store Rebellion).

Oh, and Luke's crystal was a green synthetic created from notes he found in Obi-Wan's home on Tatooine. Kriff this stupid kyber crystal horse shit. //endrant

This is Disney mythology; not Lucas mythology.

Quick question which cannon was the green crystal from qi-gons old light saber being what Luke used or was that just a fan idea? I do know at 1 point he made it using reverse sith techniques for making a synthetic crystal.

The Emperor did not die on the moon he died on the death star orbiting Endor

Yeah this skips over multiple issues and dramatises the understated counter points acting as if they don't exist for click bait...
1. There are 2 higher powers above Luke. The 3 trained Jedi 2 of which are counsel members. Who can be contacted at will providing a direct line to the force itself the biggest power above Luke. This has never occured in the entire cannon history. To say this isn't a power above him would be to say the force didn't put in any intervention to save the Jedi from comple extinction/eradication. Which is blatantly false.

2. Luke serves the forces will. That is a Jedi's role. You are speaking as if he is Sith.

3. You do remember what happens to planets with strong darkside nexes's don't you? They become warped, deranged and broken infecting all life. Luke's actions for his father could be seen as a way to save that planet from that fate and prevent the planet's force from becoming scared with an extreme darkside presence. How many life forms would be corrupted by that on Endor and the ewoks moon? Yeah better to put that dog down early.

4. He was recreating something he knew only part of that took thousands of years to build with thousands of mistakes and self correction. It is an endemic issue within the universe created by George Lucus you have no other option than to "have a go" and "figure it out along the way" or are you just going to go kill every force sensitive that you find of which you have NO way to do as they don't even know where Yoda's species comes from they just appear and that is just one example as their galaxy is only a third or so explored right? So you want no ability to fight fire with fire? You just going to trust the Mandalorians to beat Darkside users when they failed to beat Jedi? Interesting way to choose your military failure... but you do you...

I was going to say that this is Disney crap as well
