The crazy thing for me is how Hamill was able to put in a rock-solid performance like that in a role he seems to largely disagree with on a personal level. Talk about getting out of your own way.
Damn mark layed it out. Wow
HE'S NOT MY LUKE SKYWALKER! Make it a hashtag. Put it on a billboard. Some jackass director ruined the character and Mark himself calls it like it is.
i haven't seen the film yet but I can always count on the freaks to spoil it. lol
No matter what happens, my luke will always be the green lightsaber wielding, man in black, chopping a speeder bike in half, saluting r2 before kicking some @ss JEDI!
This is where those who hate TLJ Luke would say: "Would you settle for a non-lightsaber-wielding, man in hobo clothes, spearing a fish, winking at C-3PO before pretending to kick some @ss JEDI (sort of)?"
For the record, I'm a big fan of TLJ Luke, but I couldn't resist. Sorry for stealing some of the thunder, guys.
It's called acting.

Well Mark could have always quit if he felt so passionately about what they were doing to his Luke.....
I love Mark, but like he says ....it’s only a movie...

I guess he did quit we who saw it knows how the ending turned out.
Gosh why would you guys drag that TLJ ** into this thread, there is a whole TLJ Luke outside.
Yeah, I saw that video. Check the related vids with him at Celebration and at the premieres... he keeps it aboveboard, but still, you see the disappointment.
This one especially:

It’s the “highlights” of his appearance with the cast and director in the UK.
He straight up dissed one person’s question and is asleep for a lot of it. If you’re up for the full panel, look at his body language... that’s the glaring piece missing from the clipped videos:

I have to disagree with the sentiment that if Mark Hamill thinks there's something wrong with the character, then that means there is demonstrably something wrong with the character.
Mark Hamill is simply an actor who portrays the character based on how he's directed/told to portray him, and does a good job at it. Just because he portrays the character doesn't necessarily mean his views and his opinion on the character inherently mean it's the right or wrong thing.
Same principle as movie critics. Just because they're movie critics, doesn't mean that their opinion on a film is somehow more "right" than yours. You both watched the same film. They have an opinion on it, you have an opinion on it.
Hamill himself at the end of many of his interviews, said that he personally disagrees with the direction of the character, but that he hopes that there are people who do like it. I think he's in the camp where it's just simply a shock to see Luke go from RotJ (the last time we saw him on screen), to how he is in TFA and TLJ. Once the shock kind of wears off and what happened starts settling in, I think there are some people (perhaps even Hamill himself) who will come to terms with how Luke was portrayed and realize that how he ended up being later in life, isn't all that shocking after all.
Luke must not have been taught by a Jedi then since Jedi don't give up, and that's precisely what Yoda did.
