Rian Johnson's Luke Skywalker sounds a lot like George Lucas' Luke Skywalker. We've known for a few years now that George Lucas imagined a sequel trilogy Luke Skywalker to be like Colonel Kurtz from 'Apocalypse Now', and the Luke Skywalker we get in 'The Last Jedi' seems pretty similar to his vision. Let's discuss that. "So, the late-2012 idea of a Luke Skywalker haunted by the betrayal of one of his students, in self-imposed exile & spiritually in “a dark place”, not only precedes Rian Johnson’s involvement in Star Wars but J.J. Abrams’, as well." Phil Szostak, The Art of The Last Jedi (2017) |   / 943965533623304194   "George also conceived of Luke Skywalker as hiding from the world in a cave after something traumatic. He likened the hero to Colonel Kurtz from Apocalypse Now." - Pablo Hidaldo, Star Wars: Fascinating Facts (2020) id passion's The Art of The Last Jedi video:    • Video   I wrote a book!
