The turmoil within Luke regarding the temple/tree was throwing the force out of balance so Yoda acted as the force as a whole and restored balance. He did not utilize his own force powers to summon lightning, he acted as more of a messenger of the force. While I have a good deal of issues with the movie and with Rian Johnson's handling of logic (which was also an issue in Looper), this isn't really one of them. |
Please explain to me how Luke's feelings about the temple effect the balance of the force in any way, shape, or form. He's just an old fart sitting around. Has been apparently for some time. If his conflicting emotions (about anything for that matter) is such an issue for the force (which he also apparently cut himself off from a while ago), why didn't it just send Yoda to smack some sense into him via lightning bolt or whatever right fucking then when it became an issue? Because Luke's whole conflicting emotions, and disappearing act is basically what threw the force all out of whack the second he decided he should sneak into Ben's room and contemplate turning him into swiss cheese for thinking naughty thoughts. The force was plenty content enough with Luke's absence, conflicting emotions, and general lack of caring, when it was just pumping all it's good guy juice into Rey, ignoring literally every other force sensitive person in the whole wide galaxy.
Also, the force sure lets one side (usually the evil one) do a whole lot of curb stomping before it decides it's time to send a message and get back to "balancing" shit.
