Luke Skywalker Is Different Now, And He's Kinda Scary

Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi is still months away from hitting theaters, and we're getting hungry for glimpses of Luke Skywalker and the gang ahead of the premiere. A new photo that hit the newsstands (are newsstands still a thing?) in Hungary this week gives us what we're looking for in a new shot of Luke in his Last Jedi guise. And he's super intimidating.

Whoa, don't mess with Luke Skywalker.

Mark Hamill on Wednesday shared a new photo of his iconic Star Wars character appearing on the cover of the Hungarian magazine Mozimania — and it is pretty intense.

This is defiantly the most badass fans have ever seen the Jedi Knight.

On the cover, Luke is dressed in all black, with a black shawl and black glove on his right had. The look on his face is that of someone you do not want to try.

"Finally! In Hungary, I'm fedőfiú! #TheLastJedi #CantWaitForVIII #HungarianHamster," the actor tweeted with a photo of the cover.

Hamill recently granted an interview to the Associated Press and told them that, yes, Luke is different than the character fans left off with in Return of the Jedi. (Yes, he was in Force Awakens, but a few moments of standing still is hardly enough to know a character.)

"Luke changed, I think, more than the other characters in the original trilogy, from callow farm boy to a Jedi in training to finally a Jedi master," Hamill told the AP. "In this new one, I was saying to [director] Rian Johnson: I need to know my backstory. It was kind of unclear. You read where he is now and what he's doing now and sort of have to fill in the blanks for yourself. So I did do a backstory myself. It's not about Luke anymore, so it's not really important."
