Lucasfilm has done an admirable chore keep Luke ’s post - recurrence of the Jediactivities under wraps , reveal only the most basic clues over the last twosome of old age . All of this has been building toEpisode VIII , where viewers will finally find out what materialize and why Skywalker ran away . We ’ve already learned that his reason for exileinforms his integral relationship with Rey , and now theLast Jedicreative team is elaborating on that dynamic .
As part ofEW ’s massive coverage on the film , writer / conductor Rian Johnson talked about Luke ’s ego - bring down expatriate and how it serves the main narrative of the movie :
" The very first footfall in the written material of this was figuring out why he ’s on that island . We jazz that he is not a coward . He ’s not just blot out because he ’s scared . But we also know that he must know his friends are in peril . He must know the wandflower need him . And he ’s pose on this island in the center of nowhere . There had to be an answer . It had to be something where Luke Skywalker believes he ’s doing the right thing – and the process of figuring out what that is and unpacking it is the journey for Rey . "
From the speech sound of things , Rey ’s relationship with Luke is going to be the polar opposite of the one she had with Han Solo . Whereas the smuggler instantly took her under his offstage , the old Jedi Master is much more standoffish , rejecting Rey ’s presence and being almost annoyed with her . Daisy Ridley enjoin the outlet,“She ’s so hopeful to everything , and obviously there ’s a hint of , ‘ What the hell?’”when it total to Rey and Luke . Remember , inThe Force Awakens , Rey was infatuated by Skywalker , hear legends of his great adventures . Now , she ’s number face to front with her hero , and he ’s a"grumpy erstwhile human race on an island who does n’t require me here . “Despite all this , it ’s up to Rey to advance Luke to rejoin the conflict , so it ’ll be interesting to see how that occur . Whatever cause Luke has for running aside , the Resistance ( led by his duplicate sister ) take him more than ever .
The large interrogative at the forefront ofThe Last Jediis if Luke and Rey have a chronicle together . Hamill in particular has had playfulness with the theory , even taunt Ridley in theEWarticle by asking,“But does he not know her?“Regardless of whether or not Rey is the estranged girl of Luke , Johnson seems to have set the stage for a truly absorbing conflict between two Heron and worked up bow for both . Fans have look a very long time to see Hamill as Luke again ( wordless cameo notwithstanding ) , andEpisode VIIIcould be a challenging , but rewarding , experience .
