That is why Luke's arc comes full circle, from the farmboy staring out at the horizon to arguably the greatest Jedi who ever lived, watching the sunset as he becomes one with the Force. There are all elements intrinsic both to The Last Jedi's story and Star Wars as envisioned by George Lucas back in the 1970s.
#STAR WARS THE LAST JEDI MOVIE#
While The Force Awakens truly felt like a Star Wars movie in spirit and tone, and The Rise of Skywalker heavily relied on nostalgia and iconography from the franchise, The Last Jedi is the sequel that best understands and uses the core themes of the franchise: failure, family, sacrifice, hope, love, and the attempts by good to triumph over evil. This approach to what came before is deeply embedded in Star Wars: The Last Jedi. As the former Jedi Grandmaster sagely advises, failure is "the greatest teacher," which, in essence, also means that the past is the greatest teacher too. It's a point Luke reaches by the end, taught by Yoda himself, no less, and by the burgeoning powers of Rey. The Last Jedi is a movie defined by failure - that of the Jedi, and of Luke himself - and coming to learn from that. It's an understandable takeaway, given all he had witnessed - he is completely right when looking at how the Jedi's dogma and hubris led to its downfall, and the mistake was trying to build the Order back in the same image of Yoda before him. But Luke wrongly believed this meant the Jedi Order needed to end, rather than to evolve.
It's true that he starts out the movie this way, seeing that the Jedi had failed, including himself.
