Wow. About all I'd heard about these from Mark Hamill was that bit about his cameo in The Force Awakens. "I went through weeks of training" to turn around and remove my cowl. lol
I've since caught up with what he had to say about The Last Jedi for months and.... Man, he roasted that film. The "fundamental" disagreement he had with Johnson about Luke's character and story arc was a lot deeper than "fundamental." I didn't expect Luke to be the wide-eyed optimist he was in IV, but I also would never dream that Luke would wind up a "moping old hobo telling everyone to get off his lawn." <-- lol He's since said, of course, that he "regrets doubting Rian Johnson" and TLJ was an "all-time GREAT." Thing is: Hamill was right. I don't know of anyone who appreciated Luke's (or Han's or Leia's) treatment in these films. I suppose he's trying to quell the storm that flared up in the SW fan community as "the debates have become too contentious" (fancy that), but -- just between us -- Hamill doesn't have a thing to regret. He spoke up for the universe established in the original trilogy along with an equally established vision of Luke's character while Johnson insisted that these were irrelevant to the story he alone wanted to tell. Could "subverted expectations" be any worse? Although TFA was essentially a rehash of Episode IV, perhaps it would have been better had Abhrams seen the entire trilogy through from start to finish. I find it interesting that Disney's treatments have sparked a "new appreciation" for the prequels. That's quite an achievement. |
