Mark Hamill Says the Force Killed Luke

CNet:

When a Jedi becomes one with the Force -- as Luke Skywalker did in Star Wars: The Last Jedi -- the theory is that a Jedi isn't dying but is actually starting a bigger spiritual journey.

However, what if becoming part of the Force really means a Jedi has overdosed on its power like it's a drug?

On Monday, Star Wars actor Mark Hamill tweeted images from The Last Jedi comic book adaptation of the film, commenting on that theory.

"The Force killed Luke," Hamill tweeted Monday. "You have to acknowledge the irony in his fate. Almost like an addict that kicked his habit cold-turkey, remained clean for decades, only to re-use just once and then, tragically, overdoses. #SadSkywalker #ForceFatality #JediJunkie."

Mystical energy to Midichlorians to Drug.

    Look, the Luke character was a good gig for you. Yeah, it's going to be the biggest part of your obituary, so you're never going to be completely free of being Luke.

    But it's over. They killed (or whatever) that character off. It doesn't matter what you think happened, because the Disney writers can pull whatever feces out of their anus and throw it on a page and screen, and that's what happened.

    The gig is over. Move on. Your voice work is excellent and very well respected, try concentrating on that.

    He issued a pretty sarcastic tweet about his character. Star Wars fans probably hound him every day with questions about stuff like this. Like many people, he didn't like the way his character was portrayed in the new movies, so he tweets about force overdoses to fuck with everyone.

    I douby Mr Hamill particularly loves Star Wars. It's an albatross around his neck that paid the bills. Like editing .xml is files for you. I'll enjoy reading your obituary: He was an average coder but never really grew beyond changing config files. His favored editor was notepad. He is survived by an AI that does his job faster and better. In fact, it replaced his whole department. May he rest in peace.
