Despite the overwhelmingly positive reviews021 Archives The Last Jediwas still a pretty divisive film.
The portrayal of Luke Skywalker's character, in particular, seems to have drummed fans into a kind of rage-fuelled frenzy of debate. Was it true to Luke's character to act the way he did? Was his role badly written?
Even Mark Hamill himself waded in.

And Joseph Gordon-Levitt is no exception.

Yep: Joseph Gordon-Levitt literally wrote a 2,000-word essay on his Medium page about the whole Luke Skywalker debate.
Gordon-Levitt starts the post by stating that, while he's good friends with director Rian Johnson, he's not writing the essay for him.
"I'm NOT speaking for him here," writes Gordon-Levitt. "He doesn't even know I'm writing this."
He then launches into a passionate discussion of Skywalker's character, in which he defends the portrayal that so many people have criticised.
"No one is a perfect hero or a perfect villain, we're more complicated than that, every one of us," he writes. "Flawless characters feel thin.
"And forgive me if I blaspheme, but the young Luke Skywalker always did feel just a little light to me, which is why it was so cool this time around to see him fill out into a more imperfect human being."
Agree or disagree, you can't fault his dedication.
