In 2015, you returned to play Luke Skywalker in the last of the Star Wars trilogies. You were only in the last few seconds of the first one, but you had quite a long story arc in the second one.

You know, this character you've been so associated with for so long, but now there were new people who were involved in creating the story of your character. First of all, did you have trepidations about doing it again? Or was it hard for you to accept sort of new people's ideas about what this character was that was really so close to you?

I'd like to just play a clip from The Last Jedi. This is near the end of the movie. Your character, Luke, had been a recluse for years, jaded about your experiences. And even when people came to plead you to help with the rebellion, you were refusing. You finally relent, and you... In this scene, the rebel forces are near complete loss, but you appear to speak with Leia, played by Carrie Fisher.

And in the solo, you say something like, I can't save him, and you're referring to Kylo Ren, who is the son of Han Solo, and Leia, who has gone over to the dark side. Okay.

So that's a poignant scene now, especially because Carrie Fisher died shortly after filming this movie. And you've said that sometimes when you were feeling ambivalent about being Luke Skywalker that she would give you some tough love and be like, hey, you're Luke Skywalker. Deal with it.

Except it's not, but in some ways.
