But it was a deliberate ploy on Luke's behalf; he knew Kylo was immature and easily baited, which is why he knew his tactic would give the Resistance time to escape. I agree that makes him look less intimidating, but that's counterbalanced by his killing off of Snoke and whatever comes next; the point could be that Luke is his weak spot because of his obsession with killing off the past.
I think everyone has had their arc, some people are so bogged down in a hatred of TLJ that they won't recognise what was done. Poe went from hotheaded pilot to leader of the Resistance (effectively), Finn went from self-interested in TFA to caring just about him and Rey at the beginning of TLJ to being committed to the cause by the end, and Rey is in the middle of the journey from loner to hero, from nobody to powerful Force user in the galaxy.

The problem is Luke’s reademption isn’t earned it’s just given to him because his opponent can’t practice basic common sense.
Poe was never a hot headed pilot though. He made the right choices all throughout the film, it’s just him making a series of correct choices.
I’ll admit Finn’s arc was better handled in the TLJ then TFA, he’s character still felt the affects of being butchered by JJ though. Him going from self interested to fully invested to the cause was great. Too bad Rose ruined the climax of that.
Your right on Rey’s arc the problem is the finer details are poorly executed like how she gains her powers, the struggles or lack thereof she goes through and her connection to the rest of the cast.
