BLIND SAMURAI?
Posted: 120417

There Was an Unused Idea Which Would Have Radically Changed Luke

In a recent Rolling Stone article on The Last Jedi, writer/director Rian Johnson revealed to actor Mark Hamill that an early idea for the direction he was considering (but rejected) taking Luke Skywalker: “Did I ever tell you that early on when I was trying to figure out the story for this,” he says, “I had a brief idea I was chasing where I was like, ‘What if Luke is blind? What if he’s, like, the blind samurai?’ But we didn’t do it”. It’s not entirely clear whether Johnson would have made Luke blind solely in The Last Jedi, or whether he ran the idea past J.J. Abrams to retroactively make that character blind during his appearance in The Force Awakens. If they had gone with the reclusive blind samurai that would have made for quite an ending to the Force Awakens as Rey holds out the light saber to a blind Luke.
