Ah, ha! Now there Starfury I think you nailed it! Yes, he might have become a little unhinged if he lived in isolation for so long. But as you suggested, he simply became a quiet, contemplative old man who was content to let the Jedi die out.
As we discussed in previous posts, I don't think either of us is all that impressed with the basic Jedi philosophy. Yes, it had some good points, but flawed overall. Otherwise, why did they get their asses kicked by the Sith?
I think it would be better if Luke had come to a similar conclusion. The Jedi and The Old Republic were flawed, or they wouldn't have fallen. Best to let people create a new form of government where they live their own life, by their own lights, make their own mistakes and enjoy their own triumphs without some 'overlord' caste of Jedi deciding things for them. So, he simply decides to leave people alone to do just that and live his remaining life alone as a hermit scholar. Where he perhaps writes his memoirs and philosophic works.
Better than a first trilogy remake with Luke as Vader! How lame can you get!
