00:00I've had trouble accepting what he saw for Luke.
00:05But again, I mean, I have to say, having seen the movie, I was wrong.
00:13I've seen his raw strength only once before.
00:17It didn't scare me enough then.
00:21It does now.
00:23The biggest writing challenge for me was Luke Skywalker.
00:26You know, because he, as you can see from the poster, he looms large over this movie.
00:30I think the world of Rian Johnson, I said to him, I totally disagree with what you think about Luke.
00:37Figuring out where does it make sense for his head to be at, figuring out what part he was going
00:42to play in this film.
00:43That, for me, was kind of the big gorilla of this movie.
00:47Luke says, it's time for the Jedi to end. Huh?
00:50Once I cracked that, then I felt like, okay, I think now we have, now we can get into it
00:55and tell our story.
00:56How could this happen?
00:57What could have happened to this guy that he would wind up, the most hopeful, optimistic guy, now this bitter
01:03old cynic?
01:04This is the chapter where we're going to challenge all these characters.
01:07We have to really push them to extremes.
01:09And that means the actors are going to be asked quite a lot.
01:14I think being pushed out of your comfort zone is a good thing.
01:17Because if I were just another benevolent Jedi, chaining young Padawans, we've seen it.
01:24And nobody can do it better than Alec Guinness.
01:27And I shouldn't even try.
01:29It's not the Luke from the original trilogy.
01:31It's the Luke from the new generation.
01:33It's the Luke from the new generation.
