Mark Hamill Recalls His Idea For Luke Skywalker's Tragic Backstory In ‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi'
More than 30 years after he'd last played the role, Mark Hamill had a much darker idea for Luke Skywalker's life in Star Wars: Episode VIII — The Last Jedi (2017). The Emmy winner recalled his pitch for writer/director Rian Johnson about where Luke's life had taken him in the years since Episode VI — Return of the Jedi (1983) that would make him turn his back on the Force before returning in Episode VII — The Force Awakens (2015). More from Deadline Mark Hamill On Why He Won't Return As Luke Skywalker In 'Star Wars' Franchise: 'I Had My Time' Rian Johnson Defends 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi's 'Slightly Goofy Humor' – Watch Allan Freeman Dies: Marketing Exec Who Worked On Campaigns For 'Star Wars', 'The Shining' & Three Best Picture Oscar Winners Was 88 'I thought, what could make someone give up a devotion to what is basically a religious entity, to give up being a Jedi,' he explained on the Bullseye podcast. 'Well, the love of a woman,' Hamill continued. 'So, he falls in love with a woman. He gives up being a Jedi. They have a child together. At some point the child, as a toddler, picks up an unattended lightsaber, pushes the button, and is killed instantly. The wife is so full of grief, she kills herself.' Hamill's latest interview comes after he shot down any hopes of Luke returning for another installment in the Disney and Lucasfilm franchise, after the character died during a pivotal moment in The Last Jedi, becoming one with the Force. 'I am so grateful to George [Lucas] for letting me be a part of that back in the days, the humble days when George called Star Wars 'the most expensive low-budget movie ever made,'' he told 'We never expected it to become a permanent franchise and a part of pop culture like that. But my view is, I had my time. I'm appreciative of that, but I really think they should focus on the future and all the new characters.' Hamill jokingly added, 'And by the way, when I disappeared in [The Last Jedi], I left my robes behind. And there's no way I'm gonna appear as a naked Force ghost. I'm just letting you know that right now.'

Lush Lips Earns Breakthrough Stakes Victory In Tepin
Lush Lips Earns Breakthrough Stakes Victory In Tepin originally appeared on Paulick Report. Lush Lips bolted clear of her competition in the $250,000 Tepin Stakes on a drizzly day at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Ky., on June 28. Lush Lips won the grass mile contest for 3-year-old fillies by 3 3/4 lengths in 1:35.98 on the firm turf under jockey Flavien Prat for owners Medallion Racing, Steve Weston, Stewart Hoffman, Mrs. Paul Shanahan and Mrs. M.V. Magnier. Sent off as the 8-5 post-time favorite, Lush Lips paid $5.24 for the win. Advertisement The Tepin Stakes was the first blacktype victory for the British-bred daughter of Ten Sovereigns. Earlier this spring, she was twice runner-up to the top 3-year-old turf filly in the country Nitrogen in the Grade 2 Edgewood Stakes and G3 Florida Oaks. After a slight bobble leaving the gate from post 5, Prat was content to rate Lush Lips in midpack. Lush Lips tracked Princess Attitude to her inside in fifth, while the leaders set fractions of :24.13 and 47.96. Prat kept a tight hold on Lush Lips on the far turn, before unleashing a devastating turn of foot entering the stretch. Longshot leader Ninth Island had opened up a clear lead, but was quickly caught by Lush Lips from the far outside, who drew off for the victory. Princess Attitude got up for second over Vixen in third. Ninth Island completed the superfecta. 'She has a big kick,' trainer Brendan Walsh told Churchill Downs' Kaitlin Free after the race. 'There was plenty of pace on today which made it a little easier, but [Prat] had a ton of horse turning for home. It was just a question of when he'd let her go.' The bay filly showed signs of versatility in the Tepin; in her prior two wins she raced on or near the lead. Lush Lips' career record now stands at three wins, three seconds in eight starts. 'Hopefully forward from here,' said Walsh. 'I think she can be a top, top filly moving on.' This story was originally reported by Paulick Report on Jun 28, 2025, where it first appeared.

Chelsea coach Maresca says US 'is not the right place' for Club World Cup after lightning delay
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Chelsea coach Enzo Maresca criticized FIFA for holding the Club World Cup in the United States after his club's match against Benfica on Saturday was delayed for two hours due to lightning and took nearly five hours to complete. Fans were told to vacate the seating bowl of Bank of America Stadium with four minutes left in regulation, although it never rained at the venue. Chelsea went on to beat Benfica 4-1 in extra time.
