If Domhnall Gleeson returns for Star Wars: Episode IX, he hopes he gets to tackle even more comedic beats.
Gleeson’s sequel trilogy character, the First Order’s General Hux, went in a rather unexpected direction in The Last Jedi, as he was the subject of much of the film’s polarizing humor.
Nobody’s arguing his sole purpose should be telling jokes, but Star Wars has always had humor – even on the dark side.
Some felt Hux’s comedy undercut the character and made him more of a parody than intimidating threat.
