Was this the movie that Star Wars: The Last Jedi should've been like?

In the film, we see a champion of the people soundly defeated by his worst enemy; his wife is killed before his eyes, his daughter is kidnapped to be raised by his mortal foe, and he’s locked into a rathole prison for 20 years.

This completely justifies an older, bitter version of the character.

But, through the training of a new protege he rebuilds himself and his identity as a father, a protector, and a hero.

We learn to care about the new protege through their effort, work, and character, and get over the heartbreak of seeing the classic hero defeated by seeing him get rebuilt as he helps another to take his old place.

And all the while, the film doesn’t lose the spirit of adventure and fun, even when going through dark moments.
