Mark Hamill, the legendary Luke Skywalker, opened up about a scene fromThe Force Awakensthat has sparked a lot of fan debate. Known for his sharp humor and deep connection to theStar Warsuniverse, he didn’t hold back when expressing his thoughts on Rey’s sudden mastery of the Force.
This particular moment has left many fans puzzled over the years, and Hamill’s take provides a fresh, witty perspective on what many consider a questionable part of the film. His comments are sure to resonate with fans who’ve long questioned the scene.
Why does Mark Hamill think Rey’s training inThe Force Awakensdoesn’t make sense?
Mark Hamill, the iconic actor whobrought Luke Skywalkerto life, has been very open about his thoughts onThe Force Awakens. Not only that but he’s also not afraid to speak his mind, even when it comes to one of the most debated scenes in the movie. During a past interview viaYouTube,he humorously pointed out what many fans have found puzzling.
In it, he questioned how Rey, a scavenger with no formal training, suddenly becomes a master with the lightsaber in the blink of an eye. He said:
When I came to the scene in the forest where the lightsaber flew, I thought, “What a great entrance.” But then, Rey caught it, and I thought, “She hasn’t even finished her training yet.” Everyone said that I didn’t get much training either, so I had no room to talk.
Hamill said, poking fun at the fact that Rey, played by Daisy Ridley, quickly becomes skilled in the ways of the Force without the same lengthy training that Luke had to undergo. InThe Empire Strikes Back,for example, Luke spent time under Yoda’s mentorship, honing his abilities before facing off with Darth Vader.
But inThe Force Awakens,Rey is already wielding a lightsaber like a pro, and that left many fans scratching their heads. His comment comes as a relief to manyStar Warsfans who have criticized this plot point for making Rey’s abilities seem unrealistic. While Luke had to go through a rigorous training process, Rey seems to pick up Jedi skills without any explanation.
Even though Rey’s journey is crucial to the sequel trilogy, the speed at which she develops her skills feels like a missed opportunity to explore her character in a more grounded way. Mark Hamill’s honest (and funny) take on Rey’s sudden transformation into a skilled Jedi is something many fans can relate to.
