Mark Hamill Complains About THE LAST JEDI Again; This Time it's About Milking The Alien Creature

Mark Hamill is now talking about another thing that he didn't like about Star Wars: The Last Jedi. He's already voiced several complaints about how he didn't necessarily like how Luke Skywalker was handled. His latest complaint deals with the scene where we see Luke milk an alien creature for blue milk to drink, and this is actually valid. 

While the scene did offer a laugh, the time wasted on it would have been better served with seeing Luke mourning the loss of his friend Han Solo, which is a scene that was cut. While talking to IGN about the deleted scenes of the film Hamill had this to say:

"Yes, of course because it shows Luke was putting on a facade in front of Rey and even Chewie, that he was embittered and sort of a broken man. And I think the fact that he could let his emotions out when he was by himself would have made an impact on the audience because it allowed them to grieve the loss of Han Solo just the way Luke felt it.

"But that always happens in films. You say, 'Oh, what about this scene where this happens or that happens?' because you want to give the fullest experience that you can. And like you say, it was brief enough that I was -- [chuckles] They had time for me to milk that big alien but to show any human emotion? Nah, we don't have time for that. But again it's not my call."

And there it is! He makes a great point here. This kind of shows you where the priorities of the creative team were at. If they had to get rid of a scene, it would have been better to ditch the blue milk scene in favor of the scene where Luke is mourning Han. What do you think about what Hamill had to say here?
