I Just Watched The Book Of Boba Fett Finale And I'm Mad At Luke Skywalker

Major spoilers ahead for Chapter 7 of The Book of Boba Fett.

So the fact that Luke would send him out into space, where any number of credit-hungry bounty hunters could be flying around, without any protection? It just feels reckless, and kinda out of character.

If a bounty hunter, pirate, or some other space ne'er-do-well attacked, would
