Having only had the briefest of cameos at the very end of Star Wars The Last Jedi, fans having been wondering what is in store for Luke.
Now living in exile on Ahch-To, The Last Jedi has changed and as we saw in the first trailer, he wants to the Jedi to end.
While the story remains a mystery, Hamill has revealed the plot pitch he made for Luke’s narrative.
Speaking with EMPIRE, the 65-year-old actor explained how he wanted to play the Jedi Master’s evil twin.
Hamill said: “Oh baby, would I love to play my own evil twin!
“It’d be great because you could maybe not reveal it’s Evil Luke until the real Luke shows up.
“We could watch this guy undermining the good guys secretly, maybe even killing a supporting character out of everyone’s sight so they all go, ‘What’s going on? He’s crazy!’ And then, of course, the good Luke shows up.”
The actor added: “When I suggested that storyline, they said, ‘Well, it’s been done.’
“Apparently, in one of the Star Wars novels they clone and evil Luke from the hand that get cut off.
“Over the years there have been so many permutations of these characters that there’s not much left. It’s really limiting!”
Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi is released in UK cinemas on December 14, 2017.
