Greater than 30 years after he’d final performed the function, Mark Hamill had a a lot darker concept 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 may make him flip his again on the Power earlier than returning in Episode VII — The Power Awakens (2015).
“I believed, what may make somebody quit a devotion to what’s principally a non secular 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 offers up being a Jedi. They’ve a toddler 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 filled with grief, she kills herself.”
Hamill’s newest interview comes after he shot down any hopes of Luke returning for an additional installment within the Disney and Lucasfilm franchise, after the character died throughout a pivotal second in The Final Jedi, turning into one with the Power.
“I’m so grateful to George [Lucas] for letting me be part of that again within the days, the standard days when George known as Star Wars ‘the most costly low-budget film ever made,’” he informed ComicBook.com. “We by no means anticipated it to change into 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 suppose they need to deal with the long run and all the brand new characters.”
Hamill jokingly added, “And by the way in which, once I disappeared in [The Last Jedi], I left my robes behind. And there’s no approach I’m gonna seem as a unadorned Power ghost. I’m simply letting that proper now.”
