Summary

Star Wars legend Mark Hamill had to come up with the darkest backstory imaginable to get himself to a dark enough place for Luke in The Last Jedi. We discuss his recent interview and look back at those tough scenes in The Last Jedi knowing what was going through his mind. We know George Lucas had plans to exile Luke as well, but the “why” was probably much different. That plus tough questions in our segment WILL OF THE FORCE and we feature your submitted ideas for what side-jobs Grogu is taking to the pay the bills before The Mandalorian and Grogu comes out! If you like having a great time talking Star Wars, you’ve found your home, because if you’re listening to this broadcast, you are part of The Resistance!
