The Force Awakens Luke Skywalker - Mark Hamill

[Broseph44]

I dunno it honestly doesn't take away any part of the experience for me.

You don't gotta know :P, it's my own subjective taste/sentiment.. Just like you have yours. Spoilers are fun for me, but i can't deny that a part of me wishes I didn't spoil!

The Luke thing though, I mean if I could give someone the power to keep me away from spoilers I would lol

 

[Octoberist]

Yeah it depends on the person. For me, I know how Luke shows up but i wanna reserve seeing leaked footage...I wanna cry he is revealed.

 

[Herolee10]

If I'm not mistaken, isn't Mark Hamil currently in the process of filming his role as Luke for Episode 8?

 

[Octoberist]

He shot something back in September/October, but he's not doing anything until Jan.

It's a pretty cool reveal. It'll leave you longing for Episode VIII.

 

[Gianakin_]

So was it just a close up reveal of his face? How did he look?

Spoiler

No, it was a full scene, we see his body. Long grey hair and grey beard. He looks slim and he looks... he's just perfect. The long hair got me.

Did he LOOK like an aged Luke? Or an aged Mark Hamil dressed as Luke? Do you get why I'm trying to say? There was an essence to Luke's demeanor that Hamil brought to Star Wars, a certain essence I haven't seen in anything else he's been in. Does it FEEL like we are seeing an old Luke?

Dang I teared up listening to the force theme.

Spoiler

Is it true the force theme plays in that last scene?

It's 200% Luke. And yes, it's THAT theme.

Spoiler

same here. I did not expect that hair

Spoiler

The great thing about the reveal is that Luke isn't just showing his face and all but nods to Rey (and, consequently, to the audience) for TEH AWESUM factor. No, he's shocked, haunted, awed, even humbled. He reacts VERY specifically.

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

Seeing Luke was my favourite part of the movie. Loved it!

 

[Gianakin_]

I was shocked at how much better he looked even than in the leaked picture.

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

Agreed. I wonder what happens next!?

 

[Gianakin_]

Spoiler

Luke lives among the ruins of the First Jedi Temple. Force mythology galore ensues, and he gets to finally train someone onscreen based on his own views of the Force.

 

[matt47]

Agreed. I wonder what happens next!?

He slips and falls off the cliff.

 

[Loden Greatstorm]

He slips and falls off the cliff.

 

[Gianakin_]

Guess the name Sky...walker... was unfit.

Spoiler

Theme is classic Force Theme from Episode IV starting slowing and building up.

Rey, Chewbacca and R2-D2 travel to Luke's hideout, the first ever Jedi Temple or what is left of it.

Rey goes up the 'Jedi Steps' to find a hooded figure looking out over the vast oceans of the planet from the mountain edge. The figure, sensing her presence, turns and pulls down his hood to reveal his face, Luke Skywalker, aged with longer hair and beard. Rey pushes back her staff, reaches down and stretches out the Skywalker Lightsaber to the figure in an almost teary eyed emotional way as a cautious Luke, gazes upon her.

Credits.

Yes. So much win.

He slips and falls off the cliff.

As he's falling, we hear Darth Vader's ''Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo''.

Haha, same here. I expected him to look exactly the way he did at the GotG premiere in that regard. I love the look we got. So perfect.

Exactly, well said. It was actually shocking to me--

Spoiler

This whole time, I was expecting him standing with a small but warm smile toward Rey. She hands him the 'saber, he takes it and nods to her... They look out to crashing waves in the distance and we iris out.

What we actually got... The sheer looks of intensity-- without being overacted-- were really... He may have only had roughly thirty seconds of screen time, but dammit, he conveyed so much in those thirty seconds. The way his expression subtly changes when she holds out his old/his father's old Lightsaber... My god. Epic, truly.

YES! [BLACKOUT]That's why I was bracing myself for some kind of a letdown. I thought it would look too Easter Eggy. But no-hohohohohohooooooooooo. Even the final shot is first in the series (JJ couldn't resist and I'm ok) in how kinetic it was.[/BLACKOUT]

 

[chamber-music]

I was wondering

Spoiler

Is Luke going to be a reluctant mentor after his nephew went to the darkside and killed all his other students or if he will embrace Rey without hesitation. What happened to Luke may of crushed his spirit a little. We saw how Leia and Han processed it but it must of been a emotional blow to Luke as well.

Spoiler

Huh. That could explain why Luke has been AWOL for so long. I hadn't realized that he would have felt immense guilt at his nephew turning to the Dark Side while under his tutelage. The fact that Ren killed all his disciples must have been doubly crushing for him. So I guess that would explain his reluctance to train Rey when the next movie comes around.

Earlier I was a little peeved that Luke had gone into hiding while the galaxy was turing to **** and the First Order running amok with Kylo Ren leading the charge. It just seemed so unlike him to just abandon his friends and family in their hour of need while he went off sightseeing at old Jedi ruins. But thinking about it now, his history with Ren would have been the perfect reasoning to disappear like that.

I really hope that Rey isn't his daughter. Let's not beat that dead horse again.

So everyone be prepared for the:

Spoiler

Episode VIII is too dependent on ESB references cause Luke is training Rey like Yoda trained Luke. Rey may have to face off Kylo like Luke had to face Vader to become a Jedi.
