The absence of Luke's introduction in ANewHope continues to be a real sticking point for Mark Hamill
scene, which showed Luke building his new lightsaber on Tatooine before he helped rescue Han Solo from Jabba the Hutt. But the absence of Luke's introduction in continues to be a real sticking point for Hamill, as he explained so much of the character's nuance and motivation, to a large degree, was lost.
The original introduction opens with Luke looking up from the moisture farm to see the battle going on as Darth Vader pursues Princess Leia to obtain the stolen Death Star plans. Luke then goes to Tosche Station. "There a couple of things that are good for the character," Hamill began. "No. 1, he is ridiculed roundly by his peers. So he's not particularly cool or popular. Koo Stark is the only other female actor in the movie ... and she calls me 'Wormie.' So I am not popular, and then I bump into Biggs Darklighter, played by Garrick Hagon, and I go 'Wow!' You can see we're good friends.
Hamill continued, "The only reason that is interesting to me is that Luke has no political persuasion. He thinks it's great he is in the Empire! Luke wants to be in the Empire if it will get him off the farm! So he is completely pure in that he is not politically motivated in any way, shape or form."
Hamill said he was so passionate about the introduction and the interaction with Biggs because that was Luke's primary reason for not using his targeting system on his run to destroy the Death Star. "In the final assault on the Death Star, we're getting picked off left and right ... but the thing that motivates me to turn off the targeting device, and rely completely on the Force, is the death of Biggs Darklighter," he said.
