Star Wars: 20 Things You Didn't Know About The Last Jedi
20. Mark Hamill HATED Luke's Characterisation
Perhaps the single most divisive aspect of The Last Jedi was Luke Skywalker's (Mark Hamill) characterisation, reinventing him as a more world-weary, beaten down exiled Jedi, and one who even considered killing Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) years prior.

Fans weren't the only ones upset by this, as even Mark Hamill himself wasn't best pleased with how Luke was written, enough that he made as much clear to Rian Johnson himself.
In an interview during the movie's press tour, Hamill said that he told Johnson:
"I pretty much fundamentally disagree with every choice you've made for this character. Now, having said that, I have gotten it off my chest, and my job now is to take what you've created and do my best to realise your vision."
Hamill did however later apologise for "voicing [his] doubts and insecurities in public," and added that despite his creative misgivings, Johnson made an "all-time great" movie.
