Star Wars: The Last Jedi opens in theaters on December 15.
I didn’t time it with a stopwatch, but if I had to guess, I’d estimate that Mark Hamill’s Luke Skywalker was onscreen in Star Wars: The Force Awakens for about 15 seconds.
I imagine this costume is meant to suggest the same; in the wake of all the death and trouble Luke has seen, he might be contemplating switching sides.
Or maybe he just recognizes that he looks really cool in black.
