In the most recent ‘Star Wars’ movie, Master Jedi Luke Skywalker is living in isolation, blaming himself for Kylo Ren’s rise to power. However, this version of Luke didn’t fly with Hamill, and he brought it up to the movie’s director Rian Johnson.
“I said to Rian, I said ‘Jedis don’t give up. I almost had to think of Luke as another character. Maybe he’s Jake Skywalker, he’s not my Luke Skywalker.”- Mark Hamill said in an interview posted to YouTube
