Is that one of Bruce Timm's sketches on the right?

I don't think it was ever in question but:

Nah, that's just his cane.

The most epic thing Luke will do in TLJ is get out of bed.

 

[Sachiel]

So he turns on his daddy's lightsaber to see if it still works. Big whoop.

 

[DarkChocobi]

Luke's role in TLJ will be huge impact just like his... 30s appearance in TFA . Could clearly see Hamill's frustration in the video before Kathleen jumped in for damage control.

Damn, Mark is really trying to distance himself from is going to happen in this movie. I still don't know if that's good or bad but right now... I have a bad feeling about this.

 

[RIDDICK]

Wow, talkin' about what happened more than six months ago...
Oh well, it's never too late to take some red pills in between your regular doses of blue.

 

[EVILFACE]

Search your feelings you know it to be true.

 

[Sevreed]

Riddick, I had read about this before but I hadn't seen it. It's just really apparent he doesn't like what they have done. Listen, I really want this next movie to rule, I'm just saying I'm a little worried. But who knows? They might have really took some chances that might end up being great but don't really appeal to Mark's view of Luke.

I feel like people are reading into that panel a lot, to me it sounds like he's trying to support the new actors by taking himself out of a role of importance and emphasizing that it's about Rey and Finn and Poe etc. and that his inclusion is a necessary tie to events continuing from after JEDI but that he's not the focus of this trilogy like he was the OT, which is true, and I think Kennedy probably recognizes how much fans want Luke to be relevant in this film and wanted to make sure his downplaying of his relevance to the story didn't send the wrong message. Imagine Frank Oz describing the relevance of Yoda to the overall story in back in the days of Empire, he'd probably talk about it the same even though fandom would probably say otherwise.

I have a feeling this movie will be the same, it's not a Luke Skywalker trilogy so his character arc isn't as prominent as it was in the OT, but by no means will he just be there to be there.

Yup it’s already been clarified by Hamill that it’s exactly what you just said lol

 

[RIDDICK]

Obvious damage control is obvious.
He just wanted more money and that was his way of showin' it.

There's "reading too much into it" and then there's "unwillingness to see beyond what you want to see".

He got it and said ("clarified") what she wanted him to say. Business is business.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Not sure who thinks this movie is about Luke.

Luke has become 2nd tier. Deal with it.

 

[xipotec]

Yep, Luke is going to be like Obi - in ANH. Supporting role to the new story. Since we already have Luke's PT in the form of OT.

I think Hamill wanted this film series to focus on him. He was dead wrong in that assumption.

Thank you. IMO it's MH bein' classy and appropriate. Media trying to make something of this is just as stupid IMO as recent repetition of Josh Brolin's comments about a conversation with the Russos (the short BS version of that would be "THE RUSSOS ARE DONE WITH TEAM MCU MOVIES OMG SO MANY ACTORS OMG THEY ARE SO DONE OMG!!!!!" e.g. all out of context etc.)

IMO re IW and SW the media will scrape the bottom of the barrel tryin' to find something juicy.

Dunno about that. Waaaay back MH was making jokes about "having to be in this movie, because otherwise fans would be on his lawn with pitchforks" etc. Or something like that.

Back then I just got the impression of someone who was happy enough and wasn't sitting around wishing for the good ol' days when he was Luke. And have the impression he's content to be part of it but doesn't have a raging need to have the film all about him.

IMO folks should be happy the original actors showed up. Sean Connery was approached for roles after he retired and he said no. Which actors are entitled to do of course, but Harrison, Carrie, and Mark all could have said been there, done that.

They are NOT and NOWHERE near the caliber of talent and class Connery is.....c'mon MH ??????????? Only Ford might have said no but the money truck is too big for even him to ignore...

Hate Disney Wars all you want but seeing Luke holding an ignited lighsaber is really a big deal and they ruined that very special moment on a poster lol.


Rey looks exactly like Natalie Portman there.

 

[spindrift]

i do like this poster..............nice

 

[RIDDICK]

Why is the black guy bigger than the Asian chubby? Makes no sense...
