It may seem crazy to tell this, but to say it all clear: George Lucas blockbuster in 1977 "Starwalks War: Episode IV - New Hope" in downtown Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamil), dissatisfied youth that hates his life on the planet. His existence of Humdrome is then interrupted by the discovery of secret holographic communication hidden in the name recently bought by his uncle. The hologram is by Princess Leia (Kerry Fisher), the ruler of the planet Alderaan and the secret leader of the rebellion against the Galaxy Tyrannical Empire. For a long time, Luke has found himself to join forces with a desert sage, who goes by Ben (Alec Guinness) and leaves his home world on a spacecraft on a funny smuggler named Jan Solo (Harrison Ford), all in the hope of saving Leia and joining the rebellion.

Luke, Leia and Jan continued to form the basic ensemble of the original trilogy of the film "War of the Starvers", with Hamil, Fisher and Ford eventually play their roles in the 2019 sequel trilogy. Generations of fans of "Starwalks War" would appear in front of one of these characters. In the original trilogy, of course, all three still breathed to the end. It cannot be said so much about the old Ben (aka Obi-Wan Kenobi) or the villains Darth Wyder (David Pros) and Emperor Palpatin (Ian McDiarmide).

It is easy to see why Lucas would not want to kill anyone in "New Hope", which is just a relatively light heart, which should be reminiscent of the favorite series of low-budget science in the 1930s in the 1930s and Akira Kurosawa Samurai Adventures (like the "hidden fortress"). In the two films that followed, on the other hand, the stories began to darken, and felt like their lives were in danger. Can Luke, Leia or Jan be killed?

According to Hamil, there was never a chance to happen. It seems that Lucas once told the actor that everyone would be safe because, well, the "war of the Starvers" is for children.

Readers should be reminded, of course, that Luke, Leja and Jan did not die in the films "War of Starvali", as long as Lucas sold Disney franchise in 2012 and handed over the whole creative control to a new team of writers and producers. It was not the idea of ​​Lucas to kill his leading characters (although it remains unclear whether he was thinking of doing it back when he developed the trilogy of the sequel).

Talking to TodayHowever, Hamil remembers working on "Starwells War: Episode VI: Returning to Edie" and feeling that Luke's personal character should lead to a more complex moral struggle. After all, the franchise "Starwell War" takes place in a universe that is tied together with a living cosmic force called, well, forceIn which individuals they can enter, allowing them to have powers prompted by righteousness (light side) or selfishness (dark side). As Hamil saw, Luke was supposed to stand on the edge of the dark side in "Return to Edness", after his hand cut off his father, the man who only learned is Darth Wader. Hamil expressed his ideas for Lucas, who immediately shot him in an exchange the actor told as follows:

"If he complained about things - in the third, I said," Luke lost his hand, he has the black glove, shouldn't it be Luke to fight the dark side? "George said," Mark, it's for kids. " And that's why he never thought about killing any of the main characters.

Of course, Lucas eventually started killing characters By the time he did the "war on the Starwives: Episode III" in 2005 - revenge of SIT "," Showing heroic Senator Padme Amidala (Natalie Portman) - Luke and Leia's mother - dying in childbirth. But that film, a predictor, was a tragedy for the initial moral decline of Darth Veder and his evolution from the noble Edic Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) to a wicked, murderous warrior of Sitt. In such a story, it may have been appropriate to die one of the (newer) main characters.
