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 assumed, what may make somebody hand over a devotion to what’s principally a spiritual entity, to surrender being a Jedi,” he defined on the Bullseye podcast.
“Properly, 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. In some unspecified time in the future 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 common-or-garden days when George referred to as Star Wars ‘the costliest low-budget film ever made,’” he instructed ComicBook.com. “We by no means anticipated it to turn 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 assume they need to deal with the longer term and all the brand new characters.”
Hamill jokingly added, “And by the way in which, after I disappeared in [The Last Jedi], I left my robes behind. And there’s no manner I’m gonna seem as a unadorned Power ghost. I’m simply letting you already know that proper now.”
