The Last Jedicame out 4 months ago and fans are still baffled by some of the choices that Rian Johnson made. EvenMark Hamillhas gone back to his original feelings about the movie and the complete change of the Luke Skywalker character, which seemingly came out of nowhere. In a new interview, Hamill discusses the lack of emotion and the facade that Luke puts up to Chewie and Rey, while simultaneously dissing the infamous milking scene on Ahch-To.
ManyStar Warsfans were angry to see the way thatLuke Skywalker changedinThe Last Jedi, going from seeing the good in almost everybody, including Darth Vader, and then deciding that he has to take out his nephew one night. Now, these criticisms are of personal opinion for a certain subgroup of fans, not necessarily how allStar Warsfans feel. However, there were quite a few who were put off by Luke’s sudden change in the movie while interacting with Rey and his old pal, Chewbacca.
Mark Hamill discussed these emotional changes that Luke underwent forThe Last Jediin a new interview, even questioning the changes. Hamillknows the characterof Luke Skywalker better than anyone, except for George Lucas, and expected something else when he hopped on boardThe Last Jedi. The actor called out a specific scene that many wondered about when asking about the emotional changes of Luke. He had this to say.
“They had time for me tomilk that alienbut to show human emotion? Nah…”
The alien milking scene did kind of stick out like a sore thumb (or nipple) inThe Last Jedi, but just as manyStar Warsfans who have bashed the movie, have also praised it for the changes that Rian Johnson brought into the franchise. Yes, the milking scene was weird, but it’s pretty much a classicStar Warsscene. And to see a different side of Luke was refreshing to fans who were expecting the optimistic character to come back. It was an interesting story arc that Mark Hamill still seems to be conflicted about, after protesting the changes during production of the movie, cooling off during the initial promotional campaign and now, coming back to take slight jabs at some of the decisions.
Mark Hamill has also recently declared thathe doesn’t really care about returningto theStar Warsuniverse after the death of Carrie Fisher. Fans have been waiting to hear if he’ll come back forStar Wars 9as a Force Ghost or for possible flashbacks, but it seems that the actor really doesn’t have any interest in returning as the only original main character from the trilogy. Regardless, Hamill seems to be slowly coming out of his shell to criticize the parts ofThe Last Jedithat he did not agree with. You can check out the video of the interview below, thanks to the Jar Jar Abrams YouTube channel.
