By what measure?

By it being a demonstration of Luke's development with the force, by the measure of how grand the cinematography was, by how it shows how Legendary Luke has become, by demonstration is skill, by saving the protagonists in a way that makes sense to the context of the story and gives Grogu a beautiful ending to his character arc to allow Mando to develop and experience character growth with new characters to add to the roster now that they have freed up the time spent on Grogu's arc.

It shows us the true Luke Skywalker, not some old has-been, self-loathing hermit that tried to kill his defenceless and innocent young nephew in his sleep.

Remind me, what was Crylo Ben's reason for being in the dark side of the force again? Cause Lucasfilm doesn't even know either.

I didn't see that at all. Check this out:

This is an auditorily edited rendition of the scene. I use this video for reference of time stamps:

It's already funny enough with the dreaded Dark Troopers, far more lethal than any assassin, especially in numbers, miss over 10 shots that weren't even deflected or juked. I started noting the timeslots in which there should have been better choreography. After I was finished, the scene felt more like a combat scene for the elderly. (Sorry Mark Hamill, love you bro.) But, if you go over the video and look at each of the points I highlight, you'll see what I mean.

Two shots at 1:22

Could have pulled the trigger twice at 1:31, but just kept walking into a sword.

Missed a shot at 1:44 at point blank Then another droid, even closer at 1:45

2:11 Droid waits for 3 seconds before firing at point blank, but misses, shoots again at the same spot, gets deflected.

3:11 The droids are shooting at the lightsaber OVER HIS HEAD.

3:12 Droid on the right when the camera is behind Luke, shoots at him twice and misses, point blank.

3:16 a shot whizzes past his head, perceivably no where near him.

3:19 two more shots missed.

3:21 Two more shots missed... at point blank.

3:22 shot whizzes over his left side, lightsaber no where to be seen.

3:22 (Camera facing luke, lightsaber behind his head) Droid on the right has a free shot for 3 seconds. Waits to fire.

3:32 A Dark Trooper gets taken out of commission after Luke throws the head of another droid at another droids head.... That's all it takes? You don't need a lightsaber Luke, just a baseball bat. Good old Oak Baseball bat will absorb those blaster shots and all you gotta do is bash in some tinfoil apparently.

3:34 Shot goes over Luke's shoulder. Even with his dodge, it still would have missed.

This did Luke no service. This was actually embarrassing. They dumbed down the droids for him. As they used droids for comic relief in episodes two and three. I loved the droids in episode one.

I was stunned, actually. How come the same extremely critical fandom who was so critical of the KK sequels, overlook this comedy of events? Then it became clear to me. It's not that Luke was better than Rey. It was just Luke Fanboism. Of course, that isn't to say there's other reasons for it, but I would point out that it's either that or a mix of fanboism and an anti-KK Disposition.

It’s not like a being as powerful as Luke can manipulate the blasters and their aim with the force now that would just be crazy.

Yeah, it’s a fantasy series and stopping blasters from operating doesn’t break established rules and lore.

One: If he could manipulate blasters with the force, why would he need to dodge/reflect bolts?

Two: If this was a force power he was using, the Director/Producer would have made sure to show the use of such power.

Conclusion: You're being forgiving of bad script writing/choreography.

Lore reason: He can conserve force-energy by resorting to physical attacks.

The real reason: It adds variety to the combat that the audience can enjoy.

And since you are so concerned with fight scene choreography here’s a little video deconstruction the lore-breaking and awfully paced, choreographed and filmed fight scene with Snoke’s Praetorian Guards from The Last Jedi

I never said it wasn't, that was your assumption.

What I am saying is that you have double standards. Thanks for proving it.

*Mando doesn’t break the lore or the flow of the fight
*TLJ does

What double standards, chump?

Wow, then you should work on that as you started with:
==============================
--- "Oh I'm sorry I thought I made myself quite clear when I requested you to state your argument. It was bold of me to assume you (A prequel fanboi) had the mental capacity to make logical and appropriate decisions based on the present situation. Kinda like the dogshit, cynical, postmodern drivel 'sequel' films you whiteknight for."

--- "*Mando doesn’t break the lore or the flow of the fight
*TLJ does

What double standards, chump?"

---"It’s 2 paragraphs, nubnuts."
===============================
What points? You haven't made any yet.

I've done no mudslinging.

Far left-extremist? I'm centrist. So, if I'm far left to you, then that puts you far right extremist of center. Yeah?

"You missed the point of the hope Luke Skywalker brings to millions of people all over the world (Including me)

Death troopers are no match for a being as powerful and well trained up as Luke. Had rey defeated the death troopers like Luke you would be praising how wonderful the scene was."

You're not listening. I am a fan of Luke. Love the guy. I loved this scene, actually. But, when I saw all the same people praising this scene like it was gold. I had to take the role they dropped just to see if their critique is legitimate.

You've proven it isn't. Double standards.

Ah, more insecurity projections. Classic.

I see I have a mountain of bias to climb over.

If you were an actual fan of the franchise you would know that Death Troopers are nothing to sneeze at, even for a Jedi. Throughout the entire episode, "Mando" fights just one.. and this thing takes a royal beating.

Yet they take turns to shoot Luke, miss at point blank when he's not even looking at them, and can get knocked out by having a head thrown at them. Flow of the fight was horrifically broken every time these slips happened. You simply can't unsee that.

Well that wraps up that discussion. *dusts hands*

I'd say as an intimidation tactic. He probably didn't want to have to fight (kill) Moff Gideon, being the peaceful warrior he is.

Intimidate
1 : to make timid or fearful especially : to compel or deter by or as if by threats — see also coercion. 2 : to engage in the crime of intimidating (as a witness, juror, public officer in the performance of his or her duty, or victim of a robbery or other crime) Other Words from intimidate.

Doesn't hold up.

Yeah because we've never seen a Jedi try to intimidate someone

"Yeah because we've never seen a Jedi try to intimidate someone"

*We've never seen Luke try to intimidate someone.

Jedi try to dissuade you from what you're doing. They don't typically intimidate (not everyone is perfect.) Dissuasion is different from intimidate as one invokes the fight or flight response and the other does not.

Suggesting that what Luke was doing was dissuasion is completely wrong as the argument is presented that he was doing this for flourish to point to intimidation; to show off.

It's a best scene on no merits to any creative writing. They used an iconic character and that alone made fans go wild. Literally all they had to do was have Luke show up and swing his saber. Does he even speak at all? Don't remember.

Look up on youtube: corridor crew. they are VFX artists that do reviews on all sorts of videos, including bollywood. They invite on their show some pretty big people, such as stuntmen and actors who are in some massive movies.
