While I don’t agree with everything they did with Luke, I really disagree with his assessment of Luke.

Having Luke go into exile based on the story they used with Kylo was not unreasonable. Nor was their portrayal of Luke being suspicious of Kylo given what happened with Luke’s father.

I think maybe he’s a little bitter that he wasn’t given star billing and a main role as the hero. I can understand how Lucas’ original vision of having all nine parts be about the Skywalkers as a bit of a letdown for Mark when Disney decided to go a different direction for these three sequels.

Unlike Ford, who wanted to have as little involvement as possible, I totally expect Hamill probably wanted to be the main character again.
