Why should we question our values and mentors? Is failure the greatest lesson?

Licensed therapist Jonathan Decker and filmmaker Alan Seawright are diving into their childhood hero, Luke Skywalker. He is the epitome of the hero’s journey, and they take a look at Luke’s heroic and humbling character arc. They discuss Luke’s growth from naive kid to Jedi to jaded cynic, and where he lands at the end of his story. Jonathan explains why Luke’s mentality in The Last Jedi is so true to the original character and the human experience. Luke endures failure, learns hard lessons about his mentors and belief system, and he comes out the other side all the better for it. Alan praises Rian Johnson’s storytelling on The Last Jedi and rants about why he got Luke so right. And they both get nerdy about the lessons and failures of the Jedi. Happy Star Wars Day! May the 4th Be With You!
