Before Luke Skywalker followed Obi-Wan Kenobi on some damned-fool idealistic crusade, he was a simple teenager working on his uncle's moisture farm on Tatooine; In fact, Luke's biggest problem was that he was forced to clean his uncle's new droids when all he really wanted to do was to head to the Tosche Station and pick up some power converters. Sadly, Luke never made it to the Tosche Station as his simple life was interrupted when R2-D2 escaped, setting in motion events that led to him meeting Obi-Wan Kenobi and the murder of his aunt and uncle. You know how the rest goes.
Decades later, Luke Skywalker has finally made it to the Tosche Station to pick up those power converters in a new image shared by Mark Hamill. Hey, the year is almost over; who says that we can't have a little fun?
I hope he finished his chores first. While speaking with Entertainment Weekly in 2018, Mark Hamill explained the origin of that particular whiny piece of dialogue. "I thought we might only be able to make the first film, because the second and third parts were predicated on how well the first one did," Hamill explained. "So I said, I'm going to have to make this as juvenile as I can so there's room for growth. And I sort of wanted to make it sound like I had four sisters and two bothers when you'd be in the car and they'd say things like, ‘You said we could go to the mallllllllll.' So I wanted to give that flavor. It was cringe-inducing even at the time, but I explained to George [Lucas] what I just said to you, and he said, ‘Yeah, okay, do it.' Little did I know that it would haunt me for decades."
