![]() ![]() Perhaps someone on the art team wanted to indicate they weren’t being fooled, or it's a sly nod at the privileged secret some on staff were trusted with. I’m still angry about the way they treated Jake Lloyd. I mean really, beyond ‘I didn’t like it’, Hamill told Vulture. I couldn’t believe some of the things they wrote about the prequels, you know. Szostak pointed out that The Art of The Mandalorian (Season 2) doesn’t feature any clear depictions of Luke, though there is an image of Plo Koon wearing Luke’s Jedi robe. In 2017, Luke Skywalker actor Mark Hamill defended Lloyd saying he’d been unfairly treated by the media. Phil Szostak also revealed that a number of artists involved didn’t even know about Luke Skywalker’s cameo, as the script contained references to Jedi Plo Koon in his place. It’s that balance between remaining faithful yet bringing something new to it or just translating it into something that will work for the purposes of this particular show. But also updating it and bringing it to the modern age, and just making slight tweaks. So, you know, something that would be appropriate to who Luke was, and that’s recognizable and as iconic as his Jedi look in Return of the Jedi. You don’t want to just assume that Luke only has, like, one pair of clothes. ![]() With that said, going off memory and making a similar depiction can create a level of authenticity that better helps make Luke feel like a real living person. No wonder "grown men cried" over the character's return. Speaking as someone who isn't at all familiar or skilled in art, referencing a picture of Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker close to his appearance in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi just clicks. Phil Szostak really blew my mind with that description, even though it makes total sense. It’s almost like an elevation or a sketch of your memory versus being exactly, precisely one-to-one with the last time we saw him in the timeline, which would have been, you know, Return of the Jedi, and the supplemental narrative material that he was in for Battlefront II. But it’s more what you think you know versus what it actually is. Phil Szostak talked to in the promotion of his book The Art of The Mandalorian (Season 2) and explained how Luke’s look came together for the show.īut yeah, for Luke, especially the aesthetic of his look is just about being faithful to what you know. Surprisingly, the amount of thought that went into Luke Skywalker’s aesthetic in The Mandalorian Season 2 took more thinking than one may assume.
