A few months back, it was revealed that actor Mark Hamill had an interesting initial reaction to Luke Skywalker and Star Wars: The Last Jedi in general.

If you don’t recall his specific wording, here’s what he had to say in his interview with Vanity Fair at the time:

“I at one point had to say to [director Rian Johnson], ‘I pretty much fundamentally disagree with every choice you’ve made for this character. Now, having said that, I have gotten it off my chest, and my job now is to take what you’ve created and do my best to realize your vision.’”

But what was it about the character that he so disagreed with? Speaking with CinemaBlend in a recent interview, Hamill embellished on what he meant.

“Well, without giving anything away, ‘It’s time for the Jedi to end?’ Are you kidding me? I was the most optimistic, hopeful character in all the movies. How could he arrive at a place where he’s a cynical hermit. It’s beyond comprehension.”

Or is it?

Of course, none of us have a full grasp of what Luke has gone through, and this response from Hamill was just his initial one. After going through that necessary emotional arc, let’s hope that Luke will arrive at a better place. If not, we can at least hope that this shift in character is something that is believable.
