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.

    More like they were written by gender studies majors over a weekend or two, while stoned, shortly after coming back from a #resist march.

    I am as progressive as they come, but man that was awful. Everyone involved with the new Star Wars movies should be thrown into the belly of the sarlacc to find a new definition of pain and suffering as they are slowly digested over a thousand years.
