In the last of my looks at the Entertainment Weekly cover story on The Last Jedi as part of their 2017 Fall Movie Preview, I’m coming at you from sunny Southern California to talk about what we learned about Luke and why he’s isolated himself on Ahch-To.
The article interviews Rian Johnson, Daisy Ridley, and Mark Hamill, and they get deep into the motivations of the characters. And I’m going to draw up a theory or two about Luke’s presence on that island, at least one of which draws supporting information from the Aftermath Trilogy, from Star Wars: Bloodline, and the Shattered Empire comic book miniseries.
