? i mean, we've seen him go from farm boy to hero of the Rebellion in like 2 seconds, that's already a wild ride, don't need him struggling with identity issues too lol. and what if it's just gonna be more of the same old "Luke struggles" story? where's the originality, man?! i'm all for a Luke spinoff but can we make it more interesting than just "Luke is having a midlife crisis"?
mark hamill is like the ultimate guy to get behind on this project - he knows his stuff and would bring such depth to a luke solo series. but at the same time, i'm also super nervous about how they're gonna pull it off... can they really do justice to the character after all these years? 
and that idea of an older luke grappling with his identity is giving me ALL THE FEELS 
i mean, we've seen him go from a farm boy to a hero of the rebel alliance, but what happens when he's faced with the weight of his own legacy? it's like, what would you do if you were in his shoes?! 
i'm so down for this and can't wait to see what they come up with!
. The idea of him facing a personal crisis after Return of the Jedi is super interesting - I mean who wouldn't struggle with living up to their legend? 
It'd be great if they stuck to the original trilogy's spirit, but at the same time, it's Star Wars, so there's gotta be some unexpected twists and turns 
. Can you imagine Mark Hamill reprising his role as Luke in a new film? The man still has that iconic swag 
!
it makes sense though, he did play the role for like 40 years now, i think it would be awesome to see a more mature luke deal with his own identity and legacy 
, but can we please just leave well enough alone? the original trilogy is perfect just the way it is - no need to mess with perfection 
. what would be the point of revisiting an older luke grappling with his identity and legacy? wouldn't that just be retreading old ground? 
i'm all for exploring new stories within the star wars universe, but let's not forget why we loved luke in the first place - his heroism and selflessness 
I feel like it would be so cool to see an older Luke dealing with his own identity crisis after all he went through as a hero of the Rebel Alliance. it's not just about saving the galaxy, but also about who he is and what kind of impact he has on others... maybe we'd even get to see some flashbacks to his time with Yoda on Dagobah 
? the possibilities are endless! 
. I mean, Mark Hamill is awesome and all, but a solo Luke Skywalker series? It feels like we're already over there 
. But, let's not get too ahead of ourselves – I need more info before I start hyping it up 
You know how hard it is to top the OG trilogy? Mark Hamill's comments about being open to reprising his role are pretty cool tho 
It'd be awesome to see an older Luke dealing with his own identity and legacy issues - that could be some deep stuff to explore 
The possibilities for a solo series are endless, but I hope they stick to the spirit of what made the original trilogy so iconic
