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."

STFU. Mark Hamill is the best actor who ever lived and played the best character of all time in the best movie of all time.

The counterpoint to that is Harrison Ford who also played a character in the exact same movies.
Though I will give that Mark Hamill did a pretty good job or portraying Luke as a whiny teenager in the original film.

Yeah, and that is supported by the long string of successful movies and parts, as well as awards he earned as an accomplished veteran actor of stage and screen. His best and most realized talent was voice acting in animation.

I loved Star Wars as a youth, the revamped 'New Hope' BS made sort of a mockery of that and the 2nd group of film releases were definitely sub-par. The last group recovered and were better but sequels almost always result in an inferior product.
