2 minutes ago It's been nearly a year since Star Wars: The Last Jedi came out and Rian Johnson is still fielding critical responses to the way the movie handled Luke Skywalker. A recent conversation among both sides of the Last Jed debate on Twitter tagged the director at one point in the conversation, which is likely why he decided to put his own two cents in response to the idea that Johnson's script marked a serious change in the character of Luke Skywalker. Johnson said... Hot take: Luke is in fact 100% consistent with his character (not the way he's described in marketing blurbs, but his actual, based-on-his-words-and-actions character) from the OT. I'll be at the bar if you need me. Rian Johnson clearly feels that he didn't do anything particularly radical with Luke Skywalker's character in Star Wars: The Last Jedi. While Luke Skywalker may be portrayed in very simple terms as a perfectly noble hero sometimes, Johnson sees Luke as much more nuanced than that, and he … [Read more...] about Rian Johnson Is Still Defending Luke Skywalker In The Last Jedi

‘Star Wars’: Mark Hamill Has A Controversial Take On Luke Skywalker’s Death
Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Luke Skywalker’s death in The Last Jedi came after the Jedi Master tapped back into the force and projected himself across the galaxy to become the legend the Resistance, inspiring hope in others to rise up against the domination of the First Order. While the amount of time Luke had disconnected himself from the force remains a mystery, there’s no question Luke’s act of heroism led him to make the ultimate sacrifice and become one with the force itself.

Mark Hamill Compares Luke Skywalker To A Recovering Addict, Isn’t Wrong
42 minutes ago Luke Skywalker's story in Star Wars: The Last Jedi is one of the most talked about things in the entire franchise now. However, the way Mark Hamill talks about it is completely unique. The Luke Skywalker actor recently posted the panels from the recent Star Wars: The Last Jedi comic book which show Luke's final moments, and the man behind the Jedi compares Luke's (apparent) death to that of an addict who dies at the hands of a drug. Give it a look. At this point, even if you somehow haven't actually seen Star Wars: The Last Jedi, you likely know how it ends for Luke Skywalker. Luke appears to face down Kylo Ren only for it to be discovered that Luke is only projecting an image of himself from across the stars. The effort is extreme, however, and Luke is wiped out when it's done. Luke takes his place watching a binary sun as he fades away. While the comparison to a drug addict is certainly an extreme one, it's difficult to argue that it's not apt.
