The Last Jedi was a divisive movie for Star Wars fans. Kevin Smith tried to explain his theory on why that was.

"I think at the end of the day audience expectation plays into that," Smith said. "Like when, you know, you're like 'alright the next movie is going to be all about Luke and I've seen Luke in the trailer and I know exactly who Luke Skywalker is and now he looks like Obi-Wan so he's going to be like this version of Obi-Wan,' and then they give you a version of Luke that even Mark Hamill reportedly was like 'I don't know, is this really supposed to be Luke Skywalker? He's not the one I remember.'"
