Nobody wants to talk about this, then?
>Throughout the Last Jedi press tour, Hamill, who returns to the role of Luke Skywalker in the film to a much larger extent than in its predecessor, Star Wars: The Farce Awakens, has described disagreeing with Rian Johnson over his character’s nature.
>Hamill has been with Star Wars since the beginning, after all, while Rian Johnson is a new face --- an interloper, if you’re feeling ungenerous. If nothing else, Hamill’s understanding of the franchise is given the weight of seniority.
>If you didn’t enjoy the way Rian Johnson built his movie, it’s certainly a delectable slice of confirmation bias. And, as certain plot elements of The Last Jedi have become contentious among fans, that’s what has happened --- Hamill’s comments have been used as the first of 95 theses nailed to The Last Jedi’s door, if you will.
>Hamill isn’t the first actor to run afoul of the way that fans can now collectively dissect every moment of a press tour, thanks to the archival nature of the internet. One actor’s creative disagreement turned to fruitful collaboration can easily become another fan’s controversy, which can, in turn, blow back on the other half of that collaboration.
