Star Wars: Mark Hamill reveals he originally wanted Luke to turn to the Dark Side in Return of the Jedi
Mark Hamill voiced his concer💫ns about S🍸kywalker's arc to Star Wars creator George Lucas

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Star Wars would have been very different – if Mark Hamill got his way. It's long been known that the Luke Skywalker actor was initially unimpressed by his character's arc in the sequel trilogy, though Hamill has since repented. "I regret voicin💖g my doubts and insecurities in public," he . "Creative differences are a common elem๊ent of any project but usually remain private."
Interestingly enough, Hamill has voiced a few more creative differences with the direction Luke Skywalker took, though this time not about the character's place in the sequel trilogy – but the original three movies. Speaking to SiriusXM's "EW Live" station (via ) while promoting his role on What We Do in the Shadows season 2, Hamill said he originally thought Luke should turn to the Dark Side in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Star Wars: Return of the Jedi.
"I remember complaining to George [Lucas] about something in Revenge🐟 of the Jedi, and I said, 'It's so predictable and pat,' and he said, 'Mark, don't forget. These things were made for children,'" Hamill said. "His original intention was to make movies for, you know, kids! Adolescents and younger."
Hamill added that Luke's darker costume had given him the wrong idea. “Because I was wearing all black, I thought I would go to the Dark Side in the last one," he continued. "And, of c🅠ourse, you have to redeem yourself… every actor wants to play their own evil twin.”
While Luke never truly turned to the Dark Side, we saw glimpses of the former moisture farmer's anger in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Last Jedi, when he thought about murdering Ben Solo. Looks like Hamill got to play thatಌ evil twinℱ after all, kind of?
Meanwhile, Hamill recently discussed how leaving the🦂 sci-fi saga behind was "bittersweet" and revealed his own excitement for 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Mandalorian season 2. For m🃏ore of you💖r Star Wars fix, check out our pieces on:
