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.

    All of your points are correct and I endorse win-win activities.
    I also believe that better stories can be made and we could have great instead of good, maybe that would cost more. But whatever i pointed it out as fodder to the complainers.
    As long as I'm seeming to contradict my self I also acknowledge that movie companies don't owe me anything and they are allowed to turn out crap or kill off character some people love.
    I don't watch movies much anyway so I guess I am an entertainment libertarian?
