Mark Hamill is a national treasure. He is the best Joker, he has lent his voice to so many other great characters, and of course, he’s Luke Skywalker. Over the past couple weeks, there has been quite the controversy revolving around Hamill though and some comments he made. It all started with an interview where Hamill mentioned that he didn’t care for Rian Johnson’s portrayal of Luke Skywalker in Star Wars: The Last Jedi. This was followed up by a tweet days later where he apologized for making his thoughts on the matter public which fans saw as Disney and Lucasfilm pressuring Hamill to back off. Well, Hamill has taken to Twitter again to clarify that he has not received any such pressure to back off and that it was of his own accord that he sent out the apology. I actually really liked the way Luke was handled in The Last Jedi. I felt like it worked very well with the messages of the movie. I know many of you don’t agree, but let us know your thoughts on Luke in this latest film.
