Mark Hamill is an absolute treasure and sincere man this heartwarming to watch

Has anybody seen him comment on TRoS at all? After TFA and TLJ he was everywhere, barely a peep this time, it seems.

I doubt Disney wanted him saying anything after he spent several years moaning about no role in 7 and not liking his role in 8. I'm not sure I'd go so far to say they put a gag order on him, honestly it seems like most of the cast were pretty checked out by the time this film released. Nobody wants to talk about it anymore.

Can you blame them.

Can you blame them.

Yes

 

[The Caped Knight]

Even Daisy was relieved to have Luke back.

 

[Sian]

I think Mark was sensational in TLJ, along with Adam Driver he deserved an Oscar nomination.

 

[GREEN =w= DAY]

Despite how bad they messed up Luke in TLJ, Mark still delivered an excellent performance and was one of the few highlights of that movie

Can you blame them.

I cant. The Star Wars fanbase is the worst fansbase I've ever seen in my entire life and i don't blame any of them for wanting to put it behind them.

Even Daisy was relieved to have Luke back.

Amazing the way Hamill describes Luke as a symbol of optimism in that video. Wish they would have told Rian Johnson that.

Here's a new set of prints featuring Luke Skywalker from the Original trilogy from the Farmboy to Jedi Knight!

Limited edition prints, posters, gig-prints and original art

With great sadness I have to agree with you. Stupidly, as I didn't get onto social media until years past the PT, I didn't realize how toxic the fan base has become.
We all have different opinions, but some people get slaughtered online simply because their tastes are different. It doesn't help that on some forums even the mods can be unpleasant. I won't apologize for what I like and dislike, but I have chosen not to engage the more 'intense' posters. I've learned from my mistakes.

Today is Mark Hamill's 69th Birthday let's hear it for the Legendary Hero Luke Skywalker

 

[MadVillainy]

69?

Nice

 

[henzINNIT]

Remains a legend. Hope he's happy and healthy, especially in these times.

 

[GREEN =w= DAY]

Those Uber Eats commercials Mark stars in alongside Patrick Stewart are enjoyably funny

I love how they're both up for anything.

George Lucas's Star Wars Sequel Trilogy Treatments Also Had Luke Skywalker Dying in Episode VIII - Star Wars News Net



Seems like Johnson’s controversial depiction of Luke is actually in line with the original creator’s vision.

Did that Luke consider killing his nephew in his sleep and then reject helping, after his sister asked for his help and his friend had been killed?

This, Luke dying in and of itself isn't the problem. How he was depicted leading up to that death is what I hate with an absolute passion.

 

[henzINNIT]

Considering the Colonel Kurtz reference, Lucas probably would have hurt some feelings too.

 

[Spider-Fan]

Given the inspiration for his arc was Colonel Kurtz from Apocalypse Now, I am betting it was very similar. If not the same.

 

[Brother Jack]

Colonel Kurtz would imply he was going to make Luke a full-on villain. Johnson did not do that, but it was something that was heavily theorized in the lead-up to VII and after. Luke's absence in TFA needed to be answered and Luke going dark was a popular idea.

 

[herolee10]

If anything, I would have just introduced Mara Jade as a canon character and establish that Luke had married her in the interim years between the two trilogies.

It would have been later revealed that Ben was responsible for her death during his descent to the dark side, hence why Luke felt nearly motivated to kill him in revenge during a moment of weakness.
