Mark Hamill Discusses Star Wars Behind the Scenes & Luke Skywalker at Length

I do not want to offer any spoilers or anything, and will not do so until I release my review of the latest Star Wars movie that will be filled with spoilers.

That said, it seems that everywhere I turn, there is some new story or video revealing something about how Mark Hamill is really not thrilled with the new version of Luke Skywalker that we see in "The Last Jedi."

Frankly, after having seen the movie last weekend after such a long wait, I can understand and sympathize. Like he said, this is not his Luke Skywalker, and it most certainly is not the Luke Skywalker that older fans like me grew up with. Truth be told, I was not partial to this version of Luke, and wished that Rian Johnson had kept more of that older version of Luke Skywalker that we saw in the original trilogy. I watched "Return of the Jedi" this past weekend, and tried not to think about the newer version of this Luke character that was revealed in this last movie. They were like two entirely different people altogether.

So, I thought it would be best to add a couple of articles (although be warned - both do have spoilers of the new movie) where Mark Hamill, who of course plays Luke Skywalker in both the old movies and the new ones, discusses things at length. 

The first article is the most extensive one, from Rolling Stone magazine. The second one is more specific, as Hamill addresses the differences that he had with director Rian Johnson regarding the Luke Skywalker character, and how Hamill had a difficult time believing what Johnson apparently thought of this particular character, and the direction that he took him in, which is one of the major complaints that I keep hearing from people who have seen the movie.
