"Clever, Heartfelt and Naive": Star Wars' Most Insightful Critique of Luke Skywalker Explains Why He Chose Exile

Warning: Contains SPOILERS for Star Wars: Doctor Aphra #40! Luke Skywalker choosing to live in exile during the Star Wars sequel trilogy was met with immense criticism from the fandom, and while a number of the complaints were justified, one insightful critique of Luke’s character may have just helped clarify the situation. “Clever, heartfelt, and naive” is how Luke Skywalker was recently described, as well as being someone whose hope for a brighter future never allows him to truly live in the present. So, how does someone like that react when there is no more 'bright future' to hope for?
