Exactly-I finally came to the conclusion that, much like Luke eventually acts selflessly & does the right thing for the greater good of the Rebel Alliance, I should learn from him, follow his example & do the same for the greater good of the movie.#Agonizing https://t.co/cpG97ePTq7

FUN FACT- The name change to Skywalker came late enough in production that we had to re-shoot the scene where I liberated the Princess from her cell. We had already shot it using the original line: “I’m Luke Starkiller, I’m here to rescue you!” pic.twitter.com/VRaoJhGt2n

As previously tweeted, just because something appears in concept art doesn’t mean it was “almost in the film”. The purpose of this #TheLastJedi piece was to design the look of this moment, not Luke’s costume. A photo/model of TFA Luke was likely all the artist had to work with. pic.twitter.com/8SOAcoTp3X
