Don't you just love it when you post any sort of "negative" comment on youtube/instagram/interwebs people either can't handle it or the comment just gets deleted.

That's literally all that would've been required, coz the background does make sense now that I've read up on it, it's just that the movie doesn't tell you.
So when I want to burn all the etiquette books in order to take down elitism I'll make sure I'll do it in my finest tuxedo. :lol
Jokes aside, I think the simplest way to sort this would have been simply saying that those were his clothes and that's it without trying to weave reason into it.
I'm even more frustrated by people complaining about complainers before anyone complains. "Incoming salty fanboys whinging in 3...2...1..." and co.
Isn’t that how it’s portrayed in the book? Luke was dressed because he was contemplating destroying the tree when Rey arrives?
What sux about being an adult is our ability and necessity to over analyze virtually... everything.
I remember watching Star Wars the VERY first time and watching Luke mourn the loss of Obi Wan. "I can't believe he's gone". I felt so bad for Luke. As I got older I realized... ummmm... Hey Luke, your Aunt and Uncle were just slaughtered and your mourning the death of someone you just met an hour ago?

This has actually bugged me since TPM. I had no problem subconsciously accepting Obi-Wan's and Yoda's Force ghosts as a sort of residual self-image. Anakin's ghostly image was a little difficult to nail down due to the "ghost" filter, but I could tell it wasn't the same as Obi-Wan's. Darker and grayer, except for the brown outer robe -- which Luke also had in that film.
The concept art being shown around while TPM was in development showed a lone Obi-Wan (no Qui-Gon yet) in the same black-with-dark-gray-over color scheme that Luke had in ROTJ, because the artists were going with what Lucas had said about Luke's costume in ROTJ being "more Jedi-like" than his Tatooine garb. Then Lucas directly intervened, was confused why Obi-Wan had been depicted that way, and steered them back to how he was dressed in ANH.
*sigh*
In passive protest, the fabrics I'm accumulating for my own Jedi getup are drawn from ROTJ Luke. So there, George.
DO EEET!
Ah. Have it. Haven't read it yet. Still slogging through a depressing reading backlog.

Except this was green, not blue, there are likely no pelagic sea creatures anywhere near the Lars homestead, and it seemed Bern was running veggies through an extractor of some kind to get said blue milk. Growing up in a quasi-hippy environment, I had long since subconsciously figured it was something like soymilk.

I'm just glad we finally found out where blue milk comes from, it's a burning question I've been trying to answer since 1977!
Oh god, the search goes on then!!! :lol
It was also clever subversion that it was green and not blue! :lol
I'm pretty sure there's a 3 page long wookiepedia article on blue milk.

Maybe they changed the color for the SE, but my OT has blue milk goodness!

Yes traditional SW milk is blue.....the milk that Luke expressed from that Sea creature in TLJ was green

Okay I've only seen TLJ once, now that I know it's not blue (like I thought it was) I feel even more cheated! LOL

I should have known something was wrong by the expressions on over half of the people's faces as they walked out of the theater.

I came out of the theater with a numb expression on my face, and said to my wife something to the effect of, "Either I'm coming down with something, or I am so insane with frustrated rage that I can't properly process it and it is manifesting as supreme and exhausting disappointment at the "film" we just watched."
Of course, that may not have been my response word-for-word, but you get the idea. And it was option 2, btw...I was fit as a fiddle.
And to add even more, just because it's finally taken this long to put into words the feelings I had walking out...
It's like when you see folks down the street fighting, and you're not sure if they're just friends rough-housing, or if a crime is taking place. When I walked out of the theater, I wasn't sure if Rian was just blatantly disrespectful to the character of Luke, and I should just walk away shaking my head...or if I should, maybe, call someone because I'd just seen a full-on, extreme, and inexcusable character assassination occur right before my eyes and some larger authority of justice needed to intervene. So confused...
It was like that feeling you get walking into the wrong theater and realizing, "Hey, this isn't the right movie," but with a delayed effect, the realization not fully sinking in until after you'd watched the movie and already left.
