co-wrote, started this trend with a ragtag group of scientists, defectors, convicts, and mercenaries who came together to steal Death Star schematics. Their actions unfurl in an existing franchise framework: Darth Vader operates at Emperor Palpatine’s behest, the Death Star will be a world-destroyer, and the Force endures as a philosophy — nearly a religion — that provides guidance to believers.
Gilroy and his collaborators crafted a kaleidoscope of moral gray and put Luthen at its center: mentor and benefactor to some on his side, antagonist and rival to others.
There’s a purposeful malleability to Skarsgård’s performance given that he’s playing two men: the real Luthen Rael, who coolly assesses every relationship and situation based on whether it can provide resources to the Rebellion, and his front, Luthen of Coruscant, a rakish antiquities dealer to the wealthiest citizens of the Imperial capital. The former is rigid, brusque, and evasive; the latter loose-limbed, foppish, and artificially candid.
