Mark Hamill:
“Luke would never say that, I’m talking about the George Lucas Star Wars. This is the next generation of Star Wars. I almost had to think of Luke as another character. Maybe he’s Jake Skywalker, he’s not my Luke Skywalker”.

Well it’s not my Luke Skywalker either, but I guess I’m one of the older generation too.
Doesn’t sound like Mark is at all happy with how RJ portrayed his character. I agree with him wholeheartedly. I don’t think this has ever happened before. A Star Wars actor blasting the way his character was handled at the time of the movie’s release.
Anyway, I think it’s official. That was Luke’s grumpy twin brother in TLJ: Jake Skywalker. Obi-Wan and Yoda never liked that guy, and so they forgot to mention him to Luke, hoping he would take a hint and go away.
