Look. Hear me out.
It could be insane for Lucasfilm to make Luke Skywalker the antagonist of a movie. Not to mention, as soon as once more, the primary Star Wars theatrical launch since 2019. Insane! Ballsy, which might be a pleasant change of tempo for the risk-averse studio, however nonetheless, insane! And but, expensive reader. And but.
Luke Skywalker is the right steadiness of every thing we’ve talked about in an antagonist to this point. He’d be an enormous, surprising identify, massively vital to Star Wars and worthy of the dimensions of a film, but in addition one with a deeply private relationship to Din and Grogu already: Luke tried to make Grogu the primary pupil of his new Jedi Academy, and he failed. Now, the New Republic he and his mates helped forge faces a disaster that might undo it. What if Luke will get determined to recruit allies to his trigger? What if he simply wants Grogu to know coaching with him is critical, that attachment to his father determine is holding him again, blind in his desperation to how attachment made Luke the unbelievable Jedi he’s within the first place?
What if we did his atrocious Book of Boba Fett look over and really spent the time and understanding essential to do the concept justice, not simply as an exploration of Luke’s personal internal conflicts and turmoils that will go on to outline the remainder of his life after Return of the Jedi, however as an precise exploration and take a look at of the bond between Din and Grogu, the battle for the destiny of a kid’s livelihood? Like I stated, an antagonist doesn’t have to be evil to be in opposition to our heroes. They simply should need one thing completely different to them.
Or fuck it, make him really Luuke, the mad clone from The Final Command made by the darkish Jedi Joruus C’Baoth and that’s a plot twist. Play with the uncanny valleyness of all of it with the the inevitably CG-de-aged and re-voiced Mark Hamill and make that offness intentional! We wanna carry Star Wars again to the massive display? Let’s get nuts.
