Assuming she only knows what she knew before the beginning of TFA also ignores everything she learns both on and off screen over the course of the next two films.

I don't think it contradicts TLJ at ALL in that way; he obviously didn't start his academy immediately. Kylo was part of the first class and he was still in training five years before TFA
-
And Luke was, what, 23 when he killed the Emperor? He's middle aged in the Jedi temple flashbacks we see. He had a LONG time in between.

Same, it really lines up with what I’d always imagined Luke to be doing: wandering the galaxy trying to live up to his mantle as last of the Jedi, an order he wasn’t alive to even see and make sense of their legacy for a new generation.

How else would he even know where Ahch-To is, when no one else does

Feverishly digging up every scrap of lore he could about the old Jedi and Sith, to try to find some kind of guidance, some explanation for how destiny works and why people fall to the Dark Side
-
At one point really believing Ben's fall was all due to Palpatine's machinations and thinking he could somehow fix it if he just dug up the very last bits of Palpatine's legacy and neutralize them (The real failing of TRoS was portraying this mad obsession as correct and valid)

I think people got WAY too in love with a scorched earth interpretation of TLJ.
-
Which is so weird because it’s emphatically *not* what the end of the movie is saying. You’d have to straight up ignore the last twenty minutes and Luke’s last speech.

Is that a headcanon? I thought TFA and TLJ were pretty clear that Luke did the whole "Jedi master training a bunch of padawans" thing fairly successfully until Ben happened. He had a great big temple/monastery thing and was already Old Man Luke when Ben turned, after all.
