It may seem miserable to say this, but according to it all clearly: George Lucas 1977 Blockbuster “Star Wars: Episode IV -New Hope”, which focused on Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill), dissatisfied young people who hate his life on the Tatooine’s desert planet. His humble existence is then interrupted by finding a secret holographic communication hidden inside the droid, which was recently bought by his uncle. Hologrami is Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher), a ruler of the planet’s aleran and the secret leader of the rebellion against the tyrant of the Galaxy. Before long, Luke will have to combine troops in the desert by living with his sage, which goes with Ben (Alec Guinness) and leaves his home world of a close -up, Harrison Ford), all in hope to save Leia and join the rebellion.
Luke, Leia and Han continued to form a core band of the original “Star Wars” movie trilogy. The Hamill, Fisher and Ford eventually raised their role in the sequel trilogy, which was wrapped in 2019. The generations of “Star Wars” fans were born before these characters died on the screen. Of course, in the original trilogy, all three were still breathing by the end. It cannot be said so much to old Ben (aka Obi-Wan Kenobi) or the thugs to Darth Vader (David ProWse) and Emperor Palpatin (Ian McDiarmid).
It is easy to see why Lucas wouldn’t want to kill anyone in a “new hope” that itself is a relatively lightweight collapse that is meant to resemble Lucas’s favorite low-budget 1930s sci-fi series and Akira Kurosawa Samurai Adventures (such as “hidden fortress”). In two films that followed stories that began to skew darker, and it felt like life was really at risk. Could Luke, Leia or Han Kill?
According to Hamill, it was never the opportunity to happen. It seems that Lucas told the actor that everyone would be safe because the “star war” is well for children.
George Lucas felt that the Star Wars were meant for children
Of course, readers should remember that Luke, Leia and Han did not die in the “Star Wars” films only after Lucas had sold Franchise to Disney in 2012 and handed over all creative controls to a new writer and producers team. Lucas’s idea was not to kill his protagonists (although it is still unclear whether he had considered doing it back to develop the sequel itself).
Talking TodayHowever, Hamill recalled that he was working in 1983 “Star Wars: Episode VI – Jed’s return” and the feeling that the arc of Luke’s personal character should lead to a more complicated moral battle. “Star Wars” franchise happens in the end of the universe tied together with a living cosmic force called well, forceto which individuals can use, allowing them to use forces that are burned by either righteousness (light side) or selfishness (dark side). As Hamill saw it, Luke should have been standing on the dark side of “Jedi’s return” when his own father was cut off, the man he had learned was Darth Vader. Hamill expressed his idea to Lucas, who fired him right away in the exchange that the actor told as follows:
“When I complain about things – in the third saying,” Luke has lost his hands, he has a black glove, shouldn’t it be Luke that struggles as he turns into the dark side? “George said,” Mark, it’s for children. “And that is why he never considers killing the protagonists.
Of course Lucas finally started killing the characters By the time he made the 2005 “Star Wars: Episode III – Sith revenge” who saw the heroic senator Padmé Amidala (Natalie Portman) – Luke and Leia’s mother – die in childbirth. But that movie, the pre -part, was from the original moral drop of the tragedy of Darth Vader and his evolution to Jalo Jedi Anak’s Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) for the wicked, murderous Sith warrior. In such a story, perhaps it was appropriate that one (newer) protagonists die.
