Longread If I could just have a moment of your time, I'd like to let my geek flag fly. I'm a huge Star Wars fan (well anything space related really) and I, like so many others, left the latest installment in the franchise feeling a little unsure. Spoiler alert: Do not read this if you haven't seen Star Wars: The Last Jedi yet. You've been warned. If you saw The Last Jedi and thought, what the heck happened to Luke Skywalker, you'll be happy to hear you weren't alone. Actor Joseph Gordon Levitt left asking himself the same thing, and he took the time to break it down for the rest of us. Medium: A New Old Skywalker
