In the Las Jedi, Luke simply gets NO REDEMPTION, and people seem to miss it

In the Last Jedi Luke Skywalker "comes back" to save the resistance from the First Order's army. He's not really there because he just used force projection, but still, he can appear and buy some time for them.

This is the only time when he "reunites" with Kylo, the student he failed, the student he traumatized for life.

He challenges him, so the resistance might have a chance to escape. I thought that Luke will face his biggest mistake in this scene. That will try to apologize, to Kylo. Even if it would not work, at least he TRIED, after all, everything what has happened, happened because of him.

Did he try to explain himself? Did he try to apologize? Did try to at least comfort Kylo?

No.

Luke Skywalker, the hero, the mentor, the jedi master MAKES FUN of his student he pushed into the darkness.

For real. To buy time, he could still challenge him into a duel. But he actively mocked him, played with him, and after he used all his life force, he simply disappears. He NEVER EVEN ATTEMPTS to make up for his epic mistake.

He started a chain reaction - his temple is gone, the First Order got a new leader, his resistance, once again, is in ruins and dying. The single responsible person for all of this, was HIM.

At the very end of the movie he appears to save the day, but he never redeems himself.

This dude created a monster and now he's ragebaiting him, mocking him, and it seems like he's even having fun while doing this? XD

And I know, even if he tried his best, it would probably not work, but COME ON.

"I'm sorry Kylo, I've failed you"
"I was weak, and I gave in to my desperation"
"I've made a mistake, and I know I can't possible make up for it. But I have to tell you, I'm sorry for everything"

Any of these could have make a difference at least to the viewer.

I finished the anime right now!

I have to say, this one became one my favorite animes. The vibe, the art style, the music, the message - everything felt perfect.

And yes, it absolutely gave me a feeling that I just NEED a Super Cub, and if I'll be rich, I'll surely buy one. (right now I couldn't afford it, nor store it) Never thought such a short anime could make me love a motorcycle so much.

I love how slow, relatable and heartwarming this show was. Nothing "huge" happened, there was just one episode where you felt danger, and it quickly went away. It was all about the little things in life.

And about change, in small steps. As Koguma said, you don't have to do it fast or take big steps, a single everyday act is enough. Like taking a turn on a road you never took before. Going into a shop you never visited until that day. Anything could matter.

At the end, Shii got a Super Cub as well! Glad everything worked out for them.

This last thought isn't really related to the anime, but Rekio strongly reminded me to Shirase from The Place Further than the Universe anime. (it's not about motorcycles, but I can recommend it to anyone who wants to see a cute slife of life anime)

Wanted to talk about the comfy houses as well

I love the buildings in japan that use a lot of wood, or entirely built of wood. I don't know how warm they are, or how easy to maintain, but I the vibe they give is just great.

It feels like I'd love to stay in them. Reiko's house has the perfect feeling, the one you feel when you are on a trip in the wilderness or when you were a kid and went to your friend's house to spent the night there.

The super-internationally designed café looks epic as well :D I'd love to spend time at there, regardless of the season.
