Luke was the new hope, he was the future of the Jedi and he always felt there was hope. It’s time for the Jedi to end…’ I mean, that’s a pretty amazing statement for someone who was the symbol of hope and optimism in the original films,”- Mark Hamill via EW “The fact that Luke says, ‘I only know one truth. However there is one key quote from Mark shines some light on what he meant by disagreeing with Rian’s choices.
Its important remember that Mark once thought Luke would be decked out and aggressive looking for Return of the Jedi, he has ideas that don’t actually always work. This was made a bigger deal of than it really was because Mark IS Luke Skywalker. The first thing we have to address is Mark Hamill’s statement that he disagreed with Rian’s choices for Luke. This isn’t the first time we’ve taken on the Luke is dark crowd and nothing has changed. Today we’re going to explore why they are wrong and what Mark and the line really means. Each is just as powerful as the other, in its own ruthless way.Ever since Mark Hamill said he fundamentally disagreed with Rian Johnson’s choices for Luke and the “The Jedi must end” line in the teaser, people have speculated that Luke will go dark. And while the Empire seemed hindered by arrogance and archaic ideologies, it couldn’t have controlled the galaxy without a system of rules.
While it may seem that the First Order couldn’t exist without the Empire, it has improved on everything from its warships to its battle tactics. The First Order values loyalty over strength, and thus allows incompetence to permeate from its lowest soldier to its High Command. The Empire valued strength over loyalty, and thus had capable enforcers of its doctrine, from its officers to the Emperor and Darth Vader. Though some Star Wars fans will see many similarities between the two, there are enough differences to give insight into their supremacy. Where the Empire was a sprawling government body that controlled everything from taxes to education, the First Order is a small faction of fanatics intent on making an even better version of their dictatorial predecessor. The new trilogy of Star Wars films has introduced the First Order, a fascist regime that has risen from the ashes of the Empire’s defeat in Return of the Jedi. Over the course of three films, fans would see the extent of its war on freedom, and when George Lucas announced he was making prequels to the original trilogy, they saw the machinations that led to its rise. But in 1977, it was made clear in a dark theater that it was one of the most fearsome dictatorships in the galaxy. When the iconic yellow print crawled up the screen during the opening of Episode IV: A New Hope, no audience member had ever heard of the evil Empire.
