    Wow. That's awesome...

    (instant work desktop)...thank you for posting.

    Update: okay I scrolled up...I was hoping it would not be from Heir to the Jedi but that makes perfect sense... (not a fan of the author.)

    Jason Reitman on Mark Hamill
    Mark Hamill as the Emperor, Boba Fett, and Obi-Wan Kenobi.
    And then two days before [the show], I was talking with my buddy Anthony Breznican, who writes over at EW. He talked about doing this Return of the Jediscreening at the Egyptian [Theatre] in L.A., and how Mark Hamill came. It just kind of hit me, and I said, “Do you think you could put me in touch?” It was like the longest of longshots.
    It was [Mark] and his wife’s anniversary. This is kind of a real tribute to his character: he just said, “Is this for charity?” I said, “Yeah,” and he goes, “All right, I’m in.” It was awesome. He was so sweet, and totally understood why it needed to be a surprise until the last second.
    Look, he is Luke. To watch someone else be Luke must be mind-blowing. And to play Obi-Wan and the Emperor! So, he is being his own mentor and his own enemy. [Laughs]
    StarWars.com: Did you assign those roles to him?
    Jason Reitman: Oh, yeah. I said, “Would you play Obi-Wan and the Emperor?” And he loved it.
    StarWars.com: There’s the irony factor of Mark playing these other roles, but also — and this is not hyperbole — he’s probably one of the best voice actors of all time. So, it’s exciting in that regard.
    Jason Reitman: No, you’re right. In voicing the Joker and voicing villains, it’s kind of interesting that you would use his voice today for the Emperor.
    StarWars.com: After the show, did Mark Hamill relay what his experience was like?
    Jason Reitman: Mark Hamill was really emotional. In talking to him, it sounded as though he had a profound experience. That was what I noted after, and that was a great surprise for me. I just presumed, okay, here’s a guy who’s living in the Star Wars universe every day of his life. He can’t escape that. And yet, this was a seemingly very emotional and powerful experience for him. I’m not sure if it has to do with the timing of The Force Awakens only being a year away, and coming to really embrace what a special thing it is to be part of this universe, or the perspective of just watching all these other actors read this movie that you know so well.
    I’ve had people come down before [for movies they were in]. Sam Elliott came down for Big Lebowski and read his role. Susan Sarandon took part in Bull Durham, and Cary Elwes and Rob Reiner came down for Princess Bride. So, I’ve had people there before [playing their roles], but never on a film — maybePrincess Bride withstanding — where the actor is so consumed in their life by the original film.
    StarWars.com: Was there a highlight of the evening for you?
    Jason Reitman: It was all really special. Introducing Mark was probably the highlight. Just saying there was one more [actor], feeling that anticipation, and knowing we’d kept that secret. Somehow, we held that secret — no one knew.

    sure and I waited for his return over 30 years. :)

    So now we only need to get rid of all the 'Luke has no kid/family' people and everything is perfect (only kidding) :p

    Nice to hear Reitman's thoughts on bringing Mark in. I'd already forgotten he played Obi-Wan.

    I hope they release that in some form.

    thanks for that, he looks like the killer from Scream, but I think we should call him "Ol Triangle eyes"

    Good call on the Givin.

    My first thought was a Muun.

    Good thought, though. The only thing that indicated Givin to me was this other image from the same issue; it made me figure there must be an important Givin. :p

    Also yes, that's the woman that Luke seems to be attracted to in HTTJ. :cool:

    Luke in old school Jedi robes is actually kind of inspired. I've seen so much EU with him in dark gear that seeing him dressed like Obi Wan is rather lovely.

    Love these drawings of Luke, especially the first one! I'm kinda obsessed with the arm guards he has on for some strange reason. I just really like them.

    I hope the costume design is similar in TFA. I don't mind different robes from the prequels, but I'd love to see Luke in the more 'traditional' Jedi garb at least some of the time.

    Yeah, the arm guards were what really drew me to the pic. The rest of it was awesome, no doubt, but something about the arm guards just really completes the costume! Kind of like Stephen Amell felt about the mask in Season 2 completing the Arrow costume, I guess. The Arrow has a mask, and Luke has some sweet brown arm guards. :p
