He says it in the movie. He believed Kylo to be too weak minded to actually hunt down and bring Rey before him.

You have to be able to locate the person in the force to do that. They pointed out in Rey's first lesson that she couldn't detect Luke in the Force because he had closed himself off from it. If he had no connection - snoke couldn't reach into his mind. By the time he unlocked himself, Snoke had given up and was focused on Rey being in his custody.

Because she'll believe she can turn Ben. She went there not to face or defeat snoke, but to try and turn Ben. That was the plan to get her there. Make her think she can turn Ben, she'll come to them, and he can then make Ben bring her to him.
If snoke reached out and said 'come see me' - she'd tiell him to eff off

I've got a friend with 4 boys, ages 5-13. They read the Luke spoiler online and decided they didn't want to see it on Christmas Day, as per their tradition. I'm sure his kids aren't the only ones who feel that way. They like the OT the most, go figure.
It's not like it's going to hurt the box office, but it's still 6 people who won't be going at all, as well as no repeat viewings from me, to make sure I didn't like it.

Luke had removed himself from the force.
No, he wasn't. He was forging a bridge between the two with the Force. He wasn't controlling anyone's actions. The first thing Kylo did was try to force Rey to bring him Skywalker. Evidently, even his powers don't work like that.

That would have been a lot funnier if they left out the SJW comment. That sure as hell wasnt around in 1980. I wasnt around in 1980, what did you old timers think when it was released in 1980 vs how revered it is now? Empire Strikes Back I mean.
For me my initial reaction was that it was entertaining but flawed. Once the asteroid chase ends it starts dragging a bit. Luke makes mistake after mistake in regards to Yoda's lessons and advice (and he sounds a lot like Grover, which pretty much everyone said aloud when Yoda started talking) and the Vader as Luke's dad seemed waaaaay too unlikely and convenient, and ruined Ben's story to Luke about his father. Then you have a dreary cliffhanger regarding Han.
So, while there was some great action and effects, I felt Luke didn't grow as a potential Jedi and it didn't have anything close to the feeling that the first Star Wars had. And now I had to wait three years for a resolution.
I still saw it a half dozen times in the theater.
it got better as time went by, and slowly realized it was a better crafted movie than the original.
i thought it was a better made movie than anh and was instantly superior to it.
As dbuck posted though oz's voice choice for Yoda killed me though! :lol
Remember the Muppetts Show's skit 'Pigs In Space' with that film it was clear. Grover was in space to at least in voice! :lol

In '80 i was 9 and i recall vividly still being at the theatre that night - and the lobby was even packed. What i remember thinking afterwards as a 9 year old was that my hero's just their butts handed to them for 2 hours, then end
took me a long time to come around to it and like it. At least today the next one comes around 18 months down the road instead of 36.
