LootHunter: Ok, even if it is an inconsistency, it still doesn't change much. Unlike Snoke corrupting Kylo without Luke's knowledge or Snoke period for that matter.
Breja: Without Luke's knowledge? Luke knew. He literally says so.
No, he didn't knew that Snoke was corrupting Kylo,
until Kylo was already corrupted. That's what Luke says. How could an accomplished Jedi Master not see the process from the beginning, especially since his padawan is always under his supervision?
Breja: Snoke and Kylo have nothing to do with previous movies.
They do. The ending of Return of the Jedi is Empire fall and rise of the New Republic. Where did Snoke come from? Even if he was some powerful sith hermit (which is already nonsense) how he could assemble such a big army for The First Order?
Breja: not following canon and not fitting with something established in previous movies, while annoying and should be avoided if possible, is by far not the biggest problem of the prequels, nor of the new trilogy. That's stuff that would be easily excused if the movies were really good. After all, it's not like the original trilogy is all that consistent. A lot of what is now "established lore" was not even dreamed of by Lucas when the first movie happened.
Listen, it's not about the "lore", though for me fitting with established facts is obviously more important than for you. The main thing that new trilogy should be consistent with originals is
the premise.
In original trilogy The Force was literally a force that has it's way and one can tap into it with sufficient training. Some have more talent with it, yes, but ultiamtely it was the Force user's training, that would define how it is used. And the whole Dark and Ligh sides was about a personal choice, which would be a result of a long road of deeds and, again, training.
In sequels Force is pretty much a gift. If you just have in, like Rey, you simply use it without any preparations required. In which case the whole Jedi Order is indeed worthless (as Luke states). Who needs organisation for training in the ways of the force if no one needs training? "You are what you are" - that's the message of the sequel take on the Force users. It's very lukrative for those, who think that just for "who they are" they entitled to be always on the right side (politics again, I guess), but it is definitely not the message about agency, about achievements through overcoming obstacles (with a little help from The Force) that original trilogy captured so many people back in the day.
