The deconstruction of The Legend of Luke Skywalker in The Last Jedi should’ve been something like:

“The galaxy thinks I’m a flawless hero who defeated evil all by myself with the power of the Force, but in actuality I failed a lot and learned a lot, and relied on my friends to help me in all of my legendary feats. And in the end, it was simple human compassion that defeated the Emperor. Not legendary fighting skills.”

And not:

“The galaxy thinks I’m a brave, morally upright hero but in reality I’m a coward and a quitter and contemplated murdering my own nephew.”
