> The actor revealed, in an interview with Spanish website SensaCine, how this made him tell Johnson: “Jedis don’t give up. I mean, even if he had a problem, he would maybe take a year to try and regroup, but if he made a mistake he would try and right that wrong, so right there, we had a fundamental difference, but, it’s not my story anymore. It’s somebody else’s story, and Rian needed me to be a certain way to make the ending effective.”
>He added that he was forced to figure out “what could have happened that would make the most hopeful, optimistic character end up in this dark place. I almost had to think of Luke as another character. Maybe he’s Jake Skywalker – he’s not my Luke Skywalker.”
Ah, OK. It's JAKE Skywalker who wanted to murder his teenage nephew in his sleep because he thought the nephew might turn evil, even though Jake had already helped the most evil man in the galaxy, his own father, find redemption. Got it. That crazy, crazy Jake.
As much as it hurt me when I saw what they had done to Luke I don't think anyone on Earth could have been hurt more deeply by that bastardisation than poor Mark. He truly loved Star Wars and his character. I hope he declines to even return as a force ghost although I doubt those Disney contracts would let him.

Oh fuck off. The Last Jedi is the first good Star Wars movie in 30 years.
Lots of pacing issues and plot holes, plus character inconsistencies between various points in their character arcs, keep it from being great. I'm pretty sure you can cut the entire Canto Bight arc from the film and it'd be not only better, but no more confusing for the omission.
But it's still a really good film. The music and visuals are great, probably because this is the first Star Wars by an actually skilled director since George replaced all the talented people who worked on the OT. The core emotional arc between Rey, Kylo, and Luke works really well and everyone involved gives great performances. The action is really fun when it counts, like the opening with Poe or Luke's short but sweet duel with Kylo, despite the pacing dragging a lot during the second act.
Overall, I rate 86/100 - better than anything *since* the OT, but weighed down by too many plot and pacing problems to be on the level of the originals.

thats so weird the only reason I wasn't called luke is because starwars came out, now its being destroyed and he's referring to lukes character as Jake my actual name, woah. life is a simulation.
Austin Rodriguez
Dude, come on man Mark was roped into this shit and you can't blame him for the shitty writing. If anything Hamill had one of the few redeeming performances in an otherwise shitty movie.
The fact that he was completely not Luke Skywalker and that his decline into grouchyness wasn't explained by the script is not his fault. Blame Johnson and Kennedy.

Actually Luke disarmed Rey but then the dumb cunt prepared to cut down an unarmed old man because she's a gigantic cunt.
Jaxon Cox
Yes.... thus she beat him. A guy who was literally supposed to reach space jesus levels according to George and the EU. The fact that he needed to hold a lightsaber at all is retarded
Owen Clark
he shut himself off to the force, she was using the force and he wasn't
Lucas Davis
>uses the force to pull a lightsaber towards him to fight >instead of also using the force to just incapacitate her instantly makes me think
Luis Perry
how hard would it have been to just have Luke trapped on the planet or there is some other reason for him to be there. Like the planet always had a jedi guardian or whatever.(and if there was no jedi guardian an Evil Sith might take it over)
Connor Kelly
This idiotic Disney shill says the same thing every thread
>hurr durr shut off frum de forps

He's not my Luke either. I honestly cannot take a look at Mark Hamil and say "that's Luke Skywalker." The same with Harrion Ford. Just don't even bother with those characters. Their stories have been told. Next generation, please.

Spotted the shill. The next generation of characters are awful. They are bland, shapeless, corporate propaganda with no real arcs and NO CONNECTION to the core audience.
Nobody gives a fuck about Rey.
Noah Rodriguez
To be honest, I think all of this is just him being tired. He's an old man and these press tours are exhausting Not to say I disagree with him about the movie though
Dylan Green
Good for Mark. They tried to destroy a hero with that fucktarded bullshit movie.
Ryan Collins

That site is run by serial rapist and professional liar Devin Faraci. He is the lowest form of life on this planet

he uses the force to not fall, though.
Also, that he got hit unaware is aware a big loss.
Ethan White
Is this not a violation of his contract? You almost never get this kind of honesty from actors, or really anyone.
Noah Gonzalez
Has there ever been a movie this bad with an actor that cared this much?
Oliver Smith
It's not when he adds "oh, but later I was ok with it. *wink* *wink*"
Mason Green
Disney would just create another cgi golem to take his role.
Nathaniel Hernandez
This.
The fans all over the world love Mark and love Luke Skywalker. What Kathleen Kennedy and Rian Johnson did to him was unforgivable.
Millions of Star Wars fans now have trained their searing hatred on those two corporate hacks for destroying the most beloved character in cinema history in a fruitless quest to get over a bland affirmative action stand in (Rey).
Brody Myers
Did Bill Murray care about Ghost Busters? Because he's completely cucked now.
Tyler Jenkins
This. Let this sink in, Luke Skywalker >felt the Dark Side in his nephew >thinks he's going to have to kill him >instead of, ya know, Luke being Luke and trying to bring him back >he thinks about this and plans it out enough to the point of sneaking into his nephew's bedroom >in the middle of the night >while he was sleeping >and only changed his mind after igniting his lightsaber
>Ben sees the ignited saber >thinks his Uncle has come to kill him SPOILER:he has >begins to believe Snorks lies >brings the roof down on Luke >recruits 6 other students Knights of Ren >and destroys everyone and everything at Luke's academy
The entire reason the galaxy is in its current state in Star Wars is because Luke Skywalker. The man who stopped at nothing to redeem his father. Decided he was going to have to kill his nephew and didn't change his mind until after he was readying a strike.
Michael Harris
You can almost see Disney in the corner holding the gun to his head.

Yes! The guy who felt a LITTLE bit of light in Vader and flew to meet him to change him.
Yet he feels some darkness in his sister's and best friend's kid almost attempts to murder him in his sleep
I literally almost walked out of the theater during that scene

Bbbbut it's an Evolution of the character!
James Brown

He literally used the force to pull the metal antenna to him to fight Rey and used the force to break his fall when she beat him

No.
It's attempt to humiliate and embarrass Luke by (Kennedy & Johnson) because he overshadows their bland unpopular new characters. Only it has completely fucking backfired.
The box office and toy sales are collapsing.
Star Wars as a cultural event is DEAD.

I know. This is how I felt when Stannis Baratheon was ruined and killed off screen by two idiot writers who never got his character and people defended them and its only now people care the writing took a nose dive.
Christian Hall

Ayden Young
the only reason they did that, as well as why luke is not in the first movie, was to solve the biggest problem in this new trilogy: >why doesn't luke just come and kick kylo ren and snook asses? having kylo killing luke would make him nonredeemable, having snook do it would piss off old fans saying ''luke is the best jedi ever''. This way they did the easiest thing to solve it.
movie is still shit and you are deluded if you think any movie other than A new hope is a decent stand alone experience.

I don't understand why the Disney writers think it was okay for all the old main characters to have not progressed at all, if anything regressing. Han just smuggled shit again, Luke regressed to being a repeat Yoda hermit, Leia is still a princess in all but title. How disappointing for all that built up anticipation, the poor fans that looked forward to this shit for decades.

Wyatt Baker
Star Wars Prequels, I'm very sorry. That is to say I still think you're overblown and lacked the direction to pull of some of the more...shall we say touching and emotional moments. At least you had character consistency...consistently annoying but consistent none the less. At least you had an end goal, even if that goal was kinda pointless and - wait wait. God dammit I am sorry. I don't want this to sound back handed. I want to really, sincerely apologize. I was to mean in my criticisms and that amount of bombastic negativity was unfounded and only served to make me seem ignorant.
Basically what I am trying to say is; At least YOU WEREN'T THE NEW TRILOGY!
Joshua Ortiz
I actually enjoyed the prequels.
Jayden Carter
The prequels wouldn't have been so bad if someone agreed to work with George. He just wanted to make the rest of the movies but couldn't find anyone who would direct his movies. He's a shitty director but he's a great idea guy, created Star Wars and endorsed the expanded universe. GEORGE DID ALMOST NOTHING WRONG
Chase Cox
luke is a liberal faggot and he got what he deserved his character ruined by SJW's & jews, for the benefit of the third world
Go shittalk Trump some more retard Mark Hammilly
You picked the side that says THERE IS NO ROOM FOR WHITE MEN
Chase Johnson
he beat her, then after he disarmed her she got a light saber and he tripped, they then did a closeup on his hand that implied he was going to fuck her up with the force, so she just stood there and shit herself and froze in fear
only in the minds of the delusional schizophrenic manbabies on Sup Forums did Rey "beat" Luke
William Ross
Rey didn't beat him in a staff fight. He was in control the whole time even though he was being defensive. It was when she force grabbed the lightsaber that she pinned him down.
Samuel Davis
George can never be forgiven for making Greedo shoot first, everything else is just an add-on
Benjamin White
I still haven't accepted the fact that Luke doesn't FUCKING FIGHT AT ALL AND DIES DOING NOTHING . I seriously would eat the shitty writting if they could at least give fans some actual combat of a 30 years trained Jedi Master Luke. Seriously what the fuck. Just pull a BvS Batman and make him a badass in action scenes if you are going to rape his character.
Chase Lopez
SFDebris is doing a good series on the Star Wars movies as a whole, mainly following the background stuff and yeah, he gives a similar and fair point that George has always been the idea guy, and that certain actors had issues with him directing as he was never good at giving direction.
Ian Fisher
This desu. Hamill being an old fuck isn't even an excuse nowadays, they could just have a stunt do the fighting and put Luke's face using CGI, camera tricks or some shit.
Leo Gray
long live Jake!
Jayden King
will you stop it. we're trying to enjoy ourselves here and all you can do is copy a bs mini-essay from reddit
Landon Garcia
Yeah, it's pretty dumb, considering his father was Darth Vader (e.g. youngling killer, sandpeople are animals... etc.). You think that a dark side jedi would be pretty easy for him to get along with. It's like the writers had never seen or heard of star wars before....
Adrian Nguyen
Psychiatrists report their patients to police when they know they have intent to commit some crime. That's exactly what Luke did when he looked into Kylos intentions and saw what Snoke had convinced him to do. Its not immoral, it's not evil to stop crime before it happens.
One murder to stop many others is the only good choice and therefore fits with Luke's character
