Was Matt Mercer The Best Luke Skywalker? #mattmercer #criticalrole

As Star Wars fans fight over what The Acolyte meant and how Star Wars is changing, can we all just take a moment and remember that Critical Role's Matt Mercer played one of the best versions of Luke Skywalker since Mark Hamill originated the role?

Matt was a great Luke Skywalker. At the very least he was the sort of Luke Skywalker I wanted Luke to be after Return of the Jedi. Compassionate, wise, and at peace with himself after having resolved his internal conflicts.

The best representation of Luke Skywalker in the modern Disney era, bar none. Mando Season 2 comes close but doesn't have a line like "Because you/I asked" that shows his compassion and growing wisdom as a Jedi.

Why did it take me this long to realize that was him

Luke in battlefront actually was perfect for how Luke should’ve been after the originals and I didn’t know Matt played him
