Greater than 30 years after he’d final performed the position, Mark Hamill had a a lot darker thought for Luke Skywalker’s life in Star Wars: Episode VIII — The Final Jedi (2017).
The Emmy winner recalled his pitch for author/director Rian Johnson about the place Luke’s life had taken him within the years since Episode VI — Return of the Jedi (1983) that will make him flip his again on the Drive earlier than returning in Episode VII — The Drive Awakens (2015).
“I believed, what may make somebody hand over a devotion to what’s mainly a spiritual entity, to surrender being a Jedi,” he defined on the Bullseye podcast.
“Nicely, the love of a girl,” Hamill continued. “So, he falls in love with a girl. He provides up being a Jedi. They’ve a baby collectively. Sooner or later the kid, as a toddler, picks up an unattended lightsaber, pushes the button, and is killed immediately. The spouse is so stuffed with grief, she kills herself.”
Hamill’s newest interview comes after he shot down any hopes of Luke returning for one more installment within the Disney and Lucasfilm franchise, after the character died throughout a pivotal second in The Final Jedi, changing into one with the Drive.
“I’m so grateful to George [Lucas] for letting me be part of that again within the days, the common-or-garden days when George known as Star Wars ‘the costliest low-budget film ever made,’” he informed ComicBook.com. “We by no means anticipated it to grow to be a everlasting franchise and part of popular culture like that. However my view is, I had my time. I’m appreciative of that, however I actually assume they need to deal with the long run and all the brand new characters.”
Hamill jokingly added, “And by the best way, after I disappeared in [The Last Jedi], I left my robes behind. And there’s no manner I’m gonna seem as a unadorned Drive ghost. I’m simply letting you already know that proper now.”
