"Audience is tired of Luke Skywalker" said one of the Disney heads...but The Mandalorian shows that the only thing we are tired of is Disney's approach to Star Wars. Thanks, Mark, for my happy childhood!

[@c.t.1893]

To be fair, there's a lot Disney could do outside of the Skywalker Saga, but we aren't necessarily bored with Luke. There's interesting comics, books etc of his time after the Empire falls that are equally as interesting in my opinion. Disney are mostly just milking it to make money.

The only thing missing in this behind the scenes special is I wish they would have chatted with Max Lloyd Jones. I would have loved to hear how the experience was for him.

I think his resemblance to Mark is close enough that they could make that work. Sebastian Stan is a closer match, but Max would do fine. One thing that could mess it up would be if his voice pitch was significantly off from Mark's.

[@BTSandra]

2:52-2:57 Look at Grogu! The puppeteer keeps moving him and it's both hilarious and adorable. Aside that, I have to say that Max Lloyd-Jones gives me more Luke vibes than Sebastian Stan. There's something about his stance, his stillness, the way he moves. It's as if he'd internalized Luke's goodness, his patience, his spirit. And let's not talk about Luke's fighting style. Totally him! Calm, thorough, lethal. But even in lethal mode, there's peace within. I don't know if it's all in my mind, but that's what I'm feeling. The embodiment of a Jedi. And at 0:28-0:30, when he's passing his lightsaber to the other hand, look at his face under the hood. I swear he looks like Hayden Christensen.

[@altairdance0284]

i agree and tbh whether they get max lloyd-jones or someone else to play live action luke in the future, physical resemblance isn't the only thing that matters (even though they don't have to look exactly alike). it's also the way the actor carries himself when portraying the character. it makes sense for luke after rotj to have a more calm demeanor because he has matured and been through experiences that have taught him more patience as a jedi knight, and eventually jedi master. not only that, but the actor should also bring a certain warmth and kindness to the role because that's who luke is. having a new actor to play younger, post rotj luke is the way to go instead of cgi. the popular sebastian stan fancast doesn't work for me and i prefer the new actor for luke to not be heavily involved the mcu.

[@InjusticeJosh]

@@altairdance0284 Yeah it’s like what they did with Solo where Alden didn’t look exactly like young Harrison Ford.

[@Jason75913]

@@altairdance0284 speaking of warmth of character, Max lacked that in his interaction with Mando a bit, I think, despite the situation being Luke facing armed strangers

[@altairdance0284]

@@Jason75913 idk about that, since they plastered that cgi face over max and the script only called for him to interact a few minutes at most with the characters. so I wouldn't write say that performance itself was really lacking in warmth. there was a lot going on and the stand in actor could only model himself mostly off of what the directors told hamill to do. i did like seeing that gentle side of him more during the bts footage (like when he was soft with grogu, already way better than the deepfake puppet's stilted interactions in bobf) and the more calm way he carried himself during the fight scenes so it really comes down to the combination of acting, direction, writing. we won't know unless disney stops trying to resort to cgi/deepfake uncanny valley and takes a chance on new actors.

I was in denial. Star Wars had gone so far south I didn’t believe they could get this right. The rescue indeed. The gloved hand clinched it so I was just screaming by the time the hood came down. But dang. He LOOKS like Luke. I’d love this actor to take over as Luke if the story calls for it.

[@moonie9000]

I would be more than okay with this guy becoming just straight up the new Luke Skywalker in his own Star Wars TV show. That's all I want from Star Wars these days. That, and for them NOT to butcher KOTOR.

[@JM-ji9kx]

You just don't get it...If Luke isn't played by Mark Hamill or without Mark Hamill's voice and likeness then it just isn't Luke, it's Luke Skywalker in name only. You might as well create a different character at that point. Very few people would be able to buy into it mentally, because once you associate a face with a character it's very hard to separate the two. There's a reason they went through the trouble of making it look like Mark Hamill instead of just using the actor on set. Can you imagine if at the end of that epic scene he lifted his hood and it was just some dude who almost, sorta kinda resembles young Mark Hamill? The moment would have lost 99% of it's luster. Everybody knew it was Luke while he was fighting through the hallways, but what made the moment, and what made everybody gasp in excitement was when the hood came off and it was Mark Hamill's Luke. The technology will only get better and I believe they'll keep using it. In fact I wouldn't be surprised to see a de-aged Harrison Ford show up as Han Solo in either Mando Season 3 or Book of Boba Fett

Moving forward, I would be okay with Max Lloyd-Jones helping to portray Luke in this time period. Max was involved in redeeming Luke from Kathleen and Co, so Max has my blessings as Luke. It's too bad that Mark is 70 now, but like the analogy Mark made wrt James Bond, sometimes you need to have several actors involved in order to fulfill the greater mission of keeping the character of Luke Skywalker going.

Disney really messed up by not basing the sequels on Luke's journey's after Episode 6. If they had they would have made an enormous fortune off the ticket sales alone, and then the merchandise sales would have been astronomical. They could have introduced their next generation of heroes as pupils of Luke and other acquaintances during that time frame who later have their own separate adventures of importance. They forgot the core way that in Star Wars characters are always introduced via an already known and established character, Right from the first moments aboard the Tantive IV , every single character is introduced via someone we already know and have seen before. Its like a baton race that makes everything easy to understand and relate to, because each new character relates to someone we already know. They also kept the number of key characters being introduced relatively small and easy to follow.
