Star Wars lead Mark Hamill says there are “massive amounts” of Luke Skywalker’s backstory after Return of the Jedi that didn’t make it into Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
No matter what happens, it’s exciting to learn that the potential exists for some dramatic character turns in The Last Jedi, especially following criticisms that The Force Awakens was too similar to the original Star Wars.
Believe me, you’re going to see a lot of conflict in The Last Jedi.
Without question, Luke is one of the largest fictional characters to emerge in pop culture in the past 40 years, following the farm boy-turned-Death Star destroyer’s introduction in the first chapter of the Star Wars saga, A New Hope.
