Recently, Hamill shared a lot about his time working on The Last Jedi, especially in a conversation with Bullseye on YouTube. He addressed some rumors head-on, particularly the idea that he had issues with Rian Johnson or his take on Luke Skywalker. “Nothing could be further from the truth,” he said, adding that Johnson is “one of the most gifted directors” he’s ever worked with. Nice to hear!

Things get strange though when Mark Hamill shares a story he came up with internally to explain Luke's bitterness toward the Force and his role as a Jedi — hence the lightsaber toss at the beginning, his attitude during Rey’s training, and reluctance to jump back into galactic turmoil. Here’s the personal backstory he imagined for Luke:

“I thought, what could make someone give up a devotion to what is basically a religious entity... to give up being a Jedi? Well, the love of a woman. So he falls in love with a woman. He gives up being a Jedi. They have a child together. At some point the child, as a toddler, picks up an unattended lightsaber, pushes the button and is killed instantly... The wife is so full of grief, she kills herself."

Uh… okay. Hmm. I don’t even know what to say. Not sure it really holds water. You walk away from the Jedi because… you left your lightsaber lying around and your kid got hold of it? Also, this all happens after he already gave up being a Jedi for love? It’s your own theory, man, but that’s definitely odd.

This version has been floating around, and some people claim it's still better than the actual canon explanation — that Luke nearly killed his nephew after sensing his powerful connection to the dark side. That part might not be perfect either, but no way is it worse than a toddler getting impaled by a lightsaber. Just lock the thing up, Luke! Safety first!

The Last Jedi remains the most divisive Star Wars release to date. I guess the recent show The Acolyte came close, but it's not as high-profile as a new trilogy film. Overall sentiment has definitely soured on the sequel trilogy in general now.

Anyway, actors can come up with all the motivations they want for their characters, but this one definitely makes you scratch your head.
