- Mark Hamill explains how he views the Sequel Trilogy!
After Han Solo was killed off in The Force Awakens and he was killed off in The Last Jedi, Mark Hamill was not very happy about Luke's character development from the sequels!
BUT do you agree with Mark?

The fact that Han, Leia, and Luke were never together in the sequels is heartbreaking. Hell, the fact that Han and Luke never even interacted at all is wild. I understand wanting to phase out the original cast to focus on the new cast, but they did it without actually respecting the original cast imo.
Exactly!
I100% agree with you.
Could not agree more
Agreed, with one addition. They wanted to focus on the new cast for all the sequels they could create around them to generate the $$$.
@stevet7487 they were amateurs, they could have done the same thing without destroying the legacy characters.
🙄 You don't need to kill old characters to make a new gang special.
well I guess they did with leia
@@Goldstandard_1?
@@deborahminter6231 leias actor passed away, so they had to remove her character
@Goldstandard_1 she was one out of three. They were already planning to push the old characters to the side from the first installment.
Hamil & the rest are freakin' old. We were lucky to see them back at all. There really isn't much else to do with them(besides Luke being a Force Ghost), when the actors wont be with us for much longer.
Seriously, the R2 actor, Chewie & Leia are gone. The og Obi-Wan, Vader(the tall guy in the suit that originally did the lines) died long before them. All thats left is Luke, Han & Lando. And Palpatine kinda, that man protrayed him in the re-released OT, Prequels AND Ep 9, plus all these shows in between in PT & OT.
And dont even mention recasts. Granted, that will certainly be the plan for Heir To The Empire. A plan AND a test to see if prime recasts of the OGs dont get alot of complaints. But people WILL complain, its inevitable.
He also said at one point that he considered this an entirely different character that he was playing
He pestered Lucas to turn Luke to the dark side in the OT, and called Return of the Jedi "Predictable and pat" shortly after release. He says a lot of stuff, and he's never happy.
“jake skywalker”
@@ZeroFilmClips, Return of the Jedi was disappointing, though. I only really love Star Wars and Empire Stikes Back.
@@warpartyattheoutpost4987 TLJ critics claim Luke’s epic storyline “disrespects the character”, but they don’t mind Han Solo spending the first half of Return of the Jedi getting his ass rescued, then having the falcon taken away so he can spend the second half of the film trying to open a door.
@@ZeroFilmClips Sorry, but this isn't an apt comparison. Yeah, Han Solo spent the first half of RotJ either frozen or helpless, but for the second half of the movie he grows (at least a little bit) beyond just being the scoundrel smuggler; assuming a leadership-role within the Rebel's mission on Endor. And in the end he makes it possible for the shields of the second Death Star to come down. Yeah he spent the first half of the movie being useless, but it wasn't exactly his choice... He was frozen in carbonite because Lando betrayed him, and once freed and rescued, he didn't slink away to become some recluse. Hell, I'd go so far to say that what they did to Han Solo in TFA was almost as bad as what was done to Luke in TLJ.
In TLJ, Luke's character was just treated with nothing but disrespect and contempt. The young Jedi who once put his own life on the line to redeem one of the most infamous Sith to ever live goes from that to drawing a lightsaber on his own nephew over a vision, then goes on to become a broken hermit living on some backwater planet... One that has given up on everything he once held dear. And when he actually DOES something, it's just a force-illusion that ends up killing him.
You can tell what he's really thinking and how much he hates what Disney did to his character.
Karen Traviss, Troy Denning, and George Lucas collectively botched the prequel and sequel Expanded Universe, starting with Star by Star, The Dark Nest Crisis, and Republic Commando. Disney picked up the franchise as it was gasping its last on death sticks, and then repeated the same mistakes with different artists.
He helped it along, he could've said no.
It's a common delusion you have. We tend to see what we want to see.
RoaryUK : Luke Skywalker Was Not Disappointed With Disney He Got The $$$$ From Disney
Not just his character, if you watch more of his interviews about it, he seems to hate literally everything they did to some extent lol
The "new gang" no one wanted
You wanted them to make 3 more movies with the old cast? They couldn’t.
@@aperson325 no I wanted them to make 3 "GOOD" movies with the original cast atleast some of them
Well the prequels have a “new gang” but the characters were just developed better
@@aperson325I have nothing against the characters themselves, but they should have been well written and they weren't.
@@aperson325 They should have made the Thrawn Trilogy with the original cast back in the 90s. They waited too long to make these sequel films which had no central story, no real direction, that are just bad copies of the original Trilogy.
I have never been able to cope with how Luke Skywalker was treated in those infernal movies.
Bad script writing that’s all it is. Awful to watch once and will never watch again.
yes I agree
What movies, they don't exist in my reality. It goes episodes 1-6 then I stick with the old EU on what happens after that.
No one has. When he chucked the lightsaber over his shoulder like it was trash, I knew that Star Wars was on life support. Buy when we saw him milking that alien sea cow... I lowered my head in dread and shame
@@MrSaints74 ...but you don't mind admitting episodes 1-3 exist?
Bungled by Disney. Such a missed opportunity is a crime against entertainment culture.
*As well as the fact that Mark Hamill hated how his character was treated in the sequels even more than he lets on - he is contractually-obligated to not critisize Disney a lot, or he would get in trouble, so he has to downplay his disappointment.*
Luke Skywalkers character was MURDERED by BAD WRITERS & made into a ducking JOKE!! A hermit that drinks green milk & doesn’t speak & is grumpy as F!? And when MARK H says this isn’t the LUKE I KNOW!! Who the F!! Doesn’t listen to that!?? I could really pull out all my hair in pure frustration over this shitshow!!
Hear hear
He should’ve used the force and influenced the writers
@@dullaf4099 Well then I would say he should have used the force to SIMPLY REMOVE the writers! Totally! And make Disney go back & beg George Lucas to give them the next 3 movies that he had written! Cos That would really have been a MUCH BETTER USE of the FORCE 😊😂
@@margrete8639 When Star Wars was sold to Disney, the widespread feeling was thank god Lucas wouldn't be involved after those terrible prequels.
@@ZeroFilmClips that might be correct, I dont rememver it that way, but I remember being torn between two feelings, both exited & scared Disney could ruin Star Wars but when I heard George Lucas would be involved I believed it would be good for Star Wars. But I also like those 3 movies incl JarJar 😊
They killed off Han and Luke ( the two characters everyone wanted to be growing up). I have a feeling that if Carrie Fisher didn’t pass away, they would have killed off Leia (the character everyone loved). In 2072ish, Star Wars will be public domain, so have at it and fix Disney’s idiotic mistakes.
There are AI and CGI artists that are already doing exactly that, far ahead of the Public Domain timestamp…
Luke isn’t self-exiled to some distant, lost “Ireland planet,” subsisting on a steady diet of blue milk and fire-roasted porgs…
Han & Leia’s kid isn’t some emotionally scarred, psychiatrically damaged, patricidal monster…
The New Order isn’t just some tired old rehash of the former Empire, bent on intergalactic dominance and Kyber crystal strip-mining…
There’s an actual COHESIVE REUNION of the Original Trilogy actors, with a workable storyline that honors and pays tribute deference to that which we LOVED about Star Wars in the first damn place!
I f_cking HATE what George Lucas allowed - and Kathleen Kennedy directly did to Star Wars!
it'll be way after 2072 bro .. the stipulations of copyrights are for AFTER then original author's death . lucas hasn't even died yet so when ever he dies plus 75 years or so.
I know Harrison didn't want to come back and only did so if they killed Hsn Solo off. But there was no need to kill off Luke.
@42x3 *You are really missing the Agenda of Disney.*
*Disney was never going to kill off Leia, because she is female.*
*Han, and especially Luke, got killed off because they are part of The Patriarchy - they ruined Luke's character on purpose.*
*They called their third film "Rise Of The Skywalker" because Leia was going to rise up and be the great Jedi Knight that defeats Palpatine with Rey's help - but since Carrie passes away in real life, they replaced her with Rey as "the Skywalker" and had her defeat Palpatine instead.*
I don't think I will care in 48 years. I would be 102 years old if I make it that long and will not give a damn, because the IP will be all but forgotten. Besides, we might have a nuclear war in a few months. More important things to worry about!
Proof Mark Hamill is actually a Jedi: He saw those two horrendous movies and *didn't* embrace anger, fear, and aggression by burning the place down.
Agreed
Disney destroyed the most popular brand with nerds of all generations and that’s why that company will never recover.
Aside from company greed, one of the most destructive factions of a franchise is the fan base itself. We love Star Wars so much that we can be hyper critical of another person's approach to the series, director or otherwise, hurting people in the process. Example: Episode I Anakin got death threats for his performance as kid anakin, leaving him in therapy and growing up with trauma.
@@solaropposite5920 just stfu with this bullshit, social media wasn't even a thing during the time of episode 1, Jake got shit from adults in the media, not the fanbase. He was a kid anyway, who the fuck goes about blaming a kid for a movie being weak? Stop regurgitating this same weak ass deflection everywhere.
Recover from what? Disney is the biggest media company in the world
@@solaropposite5920 *Nah - Jake Loyd didn't know about the fanbase's reaction.*
*Jake did however get bullied, because Lucas decided to make Episode I The Phantom Menace such a childish kids movie.*
*If The Phantom Menace had been a more serious film like Revenge Of The Sith, then all the kids would have thought Star Wars was cool and he would have been praised instead of being bullied.*
*George surrounding himself with Yes-Men and making The Phantom Menace so childish, is what caused Jake's bullying and thusly that is what caused his psychological trauma.*
*The fanbase's negative reaction to The Phantom Menace forced George Lucas to make the sequels to be better and higher-quality than they were before.*
*It's natural for a bitter George Lucas and Hollywood to want to shift the blame onto the fans - but the fan base made things better, not worse.*
*Jake's didn't know any "death threats" (if there were even any) but he did know that the kids in his school thought The Phantom Menace was a kids movie and they bullied him relentlessly for it.*
*Also if the fanbase hadn't objected to George Lucas's handling of The Phantom Menace - then Attack Of The Clones and Revenge Of The Sith would have ended up as childish kids movies too.*
@@muchanadziko6378 *Disney still hasn't made back the 4 billion Dollars it took to purchase the IP from George Lucas - and they never will.*
*Disney essentially lost a Billion Dollars in this venture.*
If “they” respected the OG characters and gave them a respectful send off, the new baby characters might be respected as well. However Disney seems hell bent on destroying the great American icon of pop culture that is Star Wars. Like someone hired them to actually do that.
Even then they shouldn’t have been the focus, that is if they have no real relation to Luke and his friends and family
This is supposed to be the conclusion of the SKYWALKER Saga but the movie and so many fans don’t seem to understand the basis
I think they lost a big and the last opportunity to reunite the original gang in one scene at least. That should obviously would have happened in vii.
yeah disney litterally rubbed oil all over and screwed the pooch on that one.
It Sad that Luke. Han & Liea never came together.
I believe The 3 of them should had The respect that they deserved.
U mean like, came together in a 3 sum?
@MrAlexdimm yeah.
We see Han Liea in Esp 9 . Then Esp 8 we See Luke and Liea.
No Luke & Han or The 3 of Them together. Lando only saw Chewbacca in
9.
Disney should make the sequels not canon anymore and then make a new sequel trilogy which is rhe sequel trilogy all the fans wanted
Naw it's too late
Ford will be way too old/retired
Fisher is gone
Disney blew their last and only shot at it
Lucasfilms' Kathleen Kennedy wanted from the start to reboot the franchise to mold it according to her personal beliefs and ideologies. Early during the process she was referring to Rey as "strong female lead'. For the next years there are already three movies in development, including the ep. X featuring Rey doing what we were all expecting Luke to do.
Mark had said in other interviews that he completely hated what they did with the character and he thought it should have gone in a completely different way that made more sense.
I think they should give Luke more scenes, especially him fighting not being killed off
Whoever made 7, 8 and 9 should be fired and banned from filming.
I agree. They need to be banished from ever making movies or TV shows again. I hate how they killed my favorite characters in that garbage trilogy.
Disney killed Star Wars for me... after beeing +25 years a fan
The only good things to come out of Disney's Star Wars is Andor and Rouge One. I wish they were the *only* things to come out of Disney's Star Wars...
Disney nailed the coffin shut, but 20th CF had to take the biggest share of the blame. After the success of 4,5, & 6, they should have made 1,2 & 3 then. It would not have required the original cast, which would have allowed Harrison Ford to do the Indy films he had been offered & by the time he was finished that contract 7,8, and 9 would have been ready to make and Lucas' original script would not have had to be changed to advance it 30 years to use the original cast, and we would have had the best film franchise in cinema history by a mile
@@RobloxianX no, you just are a little kid that likes roblox so you dont know what is and isnt good.
@@Swivel360 Yeah, now its Hellraiser that has that title, or is it the Exorcist. No Halloween, no Nightmare on Elm Street, I mean Friday the 13th, wait no it Texas Chainsaw Massacre, no I mean all the Tremors movies...Actually no Superman, I mean Batmans, no the Star trek movies - All of them. Ok you got me, its The Land Before Time.
@@MrAlexdimm Just because I play Roblox doesn't mean I don't have an opinion. I've been loving star wars for over 10 years now, ever since I was 5. Sure I'm 15. But that doesn't make me a bumbling idiot. For shame man, do better next time.
Nah. That's not how he really feels. Mark Hamill was talking about the fact that he hated that how Disney made Luke a hermit who ran away "to die". Hamill made a reference to Return of the Jedi where Luke still had hope and essentially believed that Vader will turn back and serve the light as a Jedi.
Disney probably told Mark Hamill to keep his mouth shut about his true feelings and just praise Disney Star Wars.
We all know he should've been treated differently. As in, they shouldn't have ruined his character or starwars as a whole.
Luke Skywalker, and by extension Mark Hamill, should have been treated with the proper respect. They shouldn't have been treated like forty year old leftovers found wrapped in aluminum foil at the back of the deep freeze, buried under several inches of frost. They should have been treated like the icons that they were.
Without respect . . . . We reject.
They should have kept the old cast and added some new characters.
They should have treated Luke much better.
Luke shoulda been treated better, Mark Hamill deserves much worse.
The writers did a complete character assignation of Luke Sykwalker. The movie 7 setup possibilities, 8 was just a steaming pile which didn't make any sense and 9 spent the whole time trying to fix all the bad writing of 8 and trying to salvage a unbelievably poorly done continuation of this story. They completely forgot and/or ignored why so many people love Star Wars.
@@Truth8Hurts the "setup" that 7 did in terms of luke was asserting that luke was hiding out on a random planet without a quick and direct line of communication with people who need him while a new empire stand-in was building new apocalypse weapons and gathering armies, even disregarding whatever happened in 9 which I sure will. what was done with luke's character in the start of 8 made sense for how they reintroduced him in 7, as an old man who hid away from the action while his failure as a teacher was running amok, and by the end of 8, as mark hamill himself said in this clip, the exit was decent enough, if a bit cheeky - he had a moment of rediscovery, he found again some softness and adventuring spirit that we know him for from the original trilogy, yknow, he brought a change, made a difference. probably didn't help that jja never had a plan for a next movie for every movie he ever did, just cool setups.
if we compare the state of luke at the end of 7 and obi wan at the entirety of 4 and really it's almost interchangeable with the end of 3 because that's what happens when you know what the story you're writing leads towards (yeah it's easy to write lead ins for a movie that's already filmed, but you know what else is easier than what jja began sequels with? writing lead ins for a movie that you already know that you want to write later instead of just throwing everything together if it just sounds cool and implies something more and hoping that it will just roll), it becomes immediately obvious how shallow or constricting this cool setup is. kenobi lost a war, so instead of fighting armies he was watching over a person of great importance to the entire galaxy to tutor him when the time comes. he had basically nobody to turn to to do this job, whatever rebels existed at the start of 4 have only just gathered enough strength to resist openly (and if you go by rogue-one, only just found a reason to asap jump to action or face extinction) and some actors such as Leia tried their best to pretend-play along in public until after emperor disbanded the council, and also paid a heavy toll immediately with Alderaan before any big battles even occurred. that leaves kenobi at the start of 4 as a man who has decent reasons to hide himself - for his own safety, for safety of his effective assignment, and to keep the enemy guessing about what happened with him. in 7, jja tries to convince us very much that the first order is just like the empire and the resistance is just like rebel alliance and luke is kinda like kenobi and yoda in one man you guys, ignoring that the new republic must have been established prior, so whatever political and military power the first order gained by force or not would have been done so in luke's lifetime, meaning he had no threat to hide from and also nothing **to** hide, and he just didn't do anything to stop it or stopped trying to. for some at the time of 7 yet unexplained reason, he went fishing and never came back. this is 7. it was a fun movie to watch, and seeing luke again if only for one scene was cool, and i could live without han solo dying so stupidly though it was cool to see him too while it lasted, and kylo was a bit of an edgelord but also uh, he's a sith, so good for him, and finn and rey had neat backstories that i enjoyed in 2015, but thinking about this movie and what its setups imply is just a fruitless effort if you don't want to be disappointed.
imagine if 8 started by luke going "oh really? there are imperial-esque forces led to battle by my nephew that definitely should have been my apprentice regardless of whether that was established yet? oh shucks, why did nobody tell me, let's start grinding levels immediately :D" like it's either that, he's unaware and incompetent, or it's what we've got, because in no world luke that we knew, who defied his teacher in 5 by throwing himself in front of vader to save his friends and took initiative in 6 to redeem his father at the risk of his own life, would stay exiled voluntarily while there's, you know, his-lifelong-friends-dying and entire-planetary-systems-exploding going on outside. that's about what mark hamill said his thoughts were upon reading the script of 8, i wonder with hindsight 20/20 why wasn't that the thoughts of everybody when they saw the end of 7.
I read that in George Lucas's original script Luke was depicted as an old grumpy man but not someone who turned his back to the Jedi, Luke would never do that
@@some-maggot The only thing that comes to mind is Disney management put more faith in who they hired to direct/write/produce the new films than they did the original story. Unfortunately it was a steaming pile 💩
I think it would have been interesting if they had a character who tried a balanced use of the force like the Revan character in the books.
Greatest actor for the character, who was the greatest and most powerful Jedi of all time deserved so much more respect than either got
he hates the sequels. he’s trying to be nice
He said in another interviev that he had to accept that this new luke wasn't his luke but disneys
They had 900 books they could have used to tell a good story. They chose to tell their own. George Lucas obviously knew this was going to happen
They didn't even do that. The sequels are rip offs of the EU. Seeing as they didn't have planned her to be a Palpatine, Rey is Jaina and Ben was Jacen initially clearly. Then TLJ and RoS are basically riffing on Dark Empire.
what's ironic is now with the next trilogy they are going to have Rey start another Jedi Academy
It's not about 'agreeing' with him. He's just being very diplomatic about something he didn't like.
I can’t get over that Disney had the new chapters 7-9 written by George Lucas & they choose to TRASH that & go with Kathleen Kennedy’s choice & Rian Johnson & JJ Abrams writing “new” Star Wars episodes that KILLS OFF the MAIN IMPORTANT Characters & choosing to WRECK GEORGE LUCAS for that CRAP!!?
And WHY!?? Didn’t they think that George Lucas episodes would do WORSE than what 7-9 did with those “creators” & let Kathleen Kennedy KEEPING GEORGE LUCAS OUT of those episodes!? And not following what they promised GEORGE LUCAS when they bought Star Wars!! I will never ever understand why Kathleen Kennedy has been allowed to FUCK UP SO MUCH!! I will never understand why she was allowed to FIRE Gina Carano and destroying the “GIRL POWER” that Kathleen Kennedy said she wanted with “the force is female” BS cos GINA IS GIRL POWER in ONE STRONG character in Mandalorian!! Again more insanity!! I hope KK will EXIT Star Wars world SOON so she can’t destroy anything more!!
She has singlehandedly made havoc in Star Wars, Boba Fett & the Mandalorian!!
Doesn’t anyone in Disney see & realise this!?? It’s F-Ing insanity!! Disney should really FIRE KATHLEEN KENNEDYNOW & FAST or at least REMOVE HER FROM STAR WARS decisions now before she FUCKS UP ANY MORE good stories from the STAR WARS WORLD!! IM so FRUSTRATED as F!!
Oh boy. You're going to hate what Georgie did recently. Assuming you haven't already seen it.
@@solaropposite5920 Im almost scared to Ask.. but What has he Done?
@@margrete8639 he praised Kathy for her "directorial prowess" and said he loves what she's done with the IP. He then later proceeded to sell out the fans and acquire a nice kickback for doing so. He's a Disney stan now.
@@solaropposite5920 When he praises KK, I would think that it’s either cos KK or Disney have demanded it from him or that he is afraid of his Disney shares stocks are valued with the rest of Disney! Cos she has REALLY done a whack job of some of the HIREING & manuscripts written! In my eyes she has never ever understood what’s so magical with Star Wars, she hires people that never has seen Star Wars & I wonder if she also hired some people that never even liked Star Wars?! The result seemed to be made by one that really didn’t like Star Wars in my eyes! I’m going to give the woman making Accolyte a chance cos I’ve heard she said that every time she wondered about somethings in SW, she called or checked with George Lucas so she would get the right & a good result.. So I’m going to give it an honest chance! But Rian!? I’m really Not a fan of his storylines, but maybe someone can make a better 3 parts ending & the 7-9 thats not great, so maybe it can be called just an alternative (& say that happened just in the world between worlds) & make a new one with sending Han Solo, Luke & Leia can get a better chapter cos they have gone thru the world between worlds!) 😂😂 cos the 7-9 that exists now, I think is truly badly done! A hackjob by KK & her “team” I’ve always wondered if she HATES Star Wars & George Lucas since they let this bs continue!!
Ya well what’s he supposed to say? He’s the one who sold it! Imagine if he went around trash talking the company he started.
It was wrong the way they got rid of Han Solo - it destroyed any chance of this series being good anymore ☀️ they should bring back George and reset the last trilogy to bring it back the way it should be ☀️
He should had a different ending.., having him was the only familiar character left, the movie felt disjointed.
Yeah I agree he probably should have been there from the start
Star Wars is not the same without Carrie Fisher.
I rhink they should have let luke live instead of killing him never let the past die
Mark should have had the right to act alongside Harrison again. That was disappointing. 😞
Mark is 100% correct and why a huge amount of the original fan base didn't enjoy the movie. That also had a lot to do with why many didn't go to see Solo. Had 7 been good, they would have gone to see Solo in droves. Numbers have been declining, and Disney hasn't got it's money back yest from buying Lucasfilm.
Mark is ZERO percent correct and Mark is a Biden stooge who should really be forced into exile on a little island where no one has to think about him.
His face while saying "I couldn't ask for anything more" says otherwise
They screwed the original cast who made Star Wars, without them Star Wars doesn't exist, luke was the most powerful jedi more powerful than the sith so how could rey defeat the emperor
You understand it is not real right? Star wars, doesn't exist, it is a movie, Luke is only as powerful as the writers make him, Siths are not real, and the emporer being alive is so stupid who cares. By the way, wtf is going on with him shooting lightening into the sky and where did his fleet come from?
Lucas era Luke: Gigachad
Disney era Luke: Leaves without comment
To answer the question : Disney (KK) did Luke dirty; for the sake of establishing "the new gang"... which truthfully nobody cares for... expect maybe Kylo Ren... (which should have been JACEN SOLO)... and still not even because his character too was poorly handled.
Darth JJ and Ruin Johnson most definitely performed a character assassination on Luke Skywalker. Not to say that a character cannot go from a pillar of hope that looks for the good in the most corrupted family member to someone that considers putting an end to another family member that shows signs of becoming corrupted, but *if* you're going to make that kind of dramatic change of character traits, you have to show the audience how it happened instead of hand-waving away as something that must have happened off screen. This is something the prequel trilogy did rather well. The audience got to see how a well-meaning Anakin was slowly corrupted into a villain feared across the galaxy. The Luke we saw at the end of Ep 6 would never have behaved the way he did in Ep 7 & 8. It boils down to this. What was the reason that Luke was at least considering murdering Ben Solo? Because the writers wanted him to.
Indeed
That last bit has a totally different meaning when you think of it from the perspective that he's glad he got killed off early to further revenge himself from suffering from the trilogy.
I think Mark would never bite the hand that feeds him. At the end of the day he still accepted the roll.
I don’t think I’ll ever forgive Disney for what they did to Luke. Legends is my timeline. Not Disney Canon.
He was treated so badly. The hero for literally millions...😢
Have you read the novels and comics, D+ killed starwars.
A lot of the novels were great. Hate how the movies didn't follow the storyline especially for Ben
Straight up making shit up so that their stupid original plan for the sequels can make sense, get that force dyad shit outta here.
Disneys treatment of Luke Skywalker is completely prison worthy and should all be locked up
"This isn't Luke Skywalker, this is Jake Skywalker"
- Mark Hamill
Seems like he is simply saying he at least got to work with Carrie before his character died. The one bright spot in his experience.
I think George lucas should have made the sequels not Disney
Like he made the prequels and got a shitstorm for them?
George asked her to make them. And recently sold us out to Disney for money. Again. And what's worst of all, he stated he likes Kathy's films.
F Disney stay with cannon
George doesn't care about canon anymore. He sold us out. Again.
In other interviews, he said Luke Skywalker would not have given up and hidden away. 1, 2,and 3 were bad and 7, 8, and 9 were bad. There was so much that could have been done with Luke Skywalker and Han Solo and they blew it.
stars wars could have been called the adventures of luke skywalker that’s how important he was and is
Bro what they don’t know is that the old foggies are the most powerful Jedi the more older a Jedi gets the more knowledge and wisdom of the force they get look at Yoda and countdoku even palpatine there was no excuse for them to have killed Luke like that those movies where like children where playing with a lightsaber for the first time
"My childhood became a lie the day the Luke Skywalker died from being tired
How the f@ck do Jedi die from being tired?
My childhood became a lie the day that Han Solo just died and I didn’t cry
I should have cried, I should have cried when Han died"
... words couldn't have been more accurate when I saw Episode 7
They should’ve plunged a little deeper into his backstory after the whole temple destruction, but I ultimately can’t complain.
I was really sad when I figured out we were never going to see the original trio together again after Han died
This is different than the last interview o saw with mark. Apparently he walked right up to rian johnson and said “I want you to know I disagree with everything you’ve written about me. But I’ll still do it”
And the he walked away
The fans expected a HECK of a lot more.
Disney f’kd up SW franchise. So disrespectful how they treated Luke and all the original characters
Explains why he was chugging that blue milk 😂
"Name something that isnt a crime but should be"
Me: Disney not having a scene with Luke, Han and Leia together in the sequels
The narrated is acting as if Mark is using code. He is straight up saying he hated the sequels and in order to get through it, he needed to not care.
The narrator’s question here doesn’t seem quite right. Do we agree with Hamill, or think ‘LUKE’ should’ve been treated differently? I believe Hamill expressed his disappointment with Luke’s treatment, very clearly - he wishes he’d been treated differently.
To hell with Hamill. He had no problem cashing those Checks.
What ya expecting from a company that brings out the line "somehow, Palpatine returned" 🤷🏻♂️
Mr. Hamill was being a professional. That's why we call it coping.
He’s just being polite. Fans disconnected too.
The sequels ruined our childhood hero
It would be nice that Mark had a character involvement in the sequel trilogy-- in a very different way-- there should have been more Luke- Han and Leia--
Not sure where the clip is from but I've seen tons of footage of him saying how unhappy he was with the handling of Luke in the sequels
"A Jedi doesnt give up..he regroups...i don't know...maybe hes Jake Skywalker". That tells you what he REALLY thinks of the Disney SW before they gagged him with a threat.
As Harrison Ford once said...." it's just a movie!"
At this point it doesn't matter there is no undoing what is done
Sadly, I’ve emotionally disconnected from that IP.
This was his vehicle, and the fact that it was taken away so unceremoniously. Makes it an anticlimactic ending.
Luke Skywalker definitely should’ve been treated in a different way lmao
The fact that Billy Dee Williams was only brought back in episode 9 and was only seen interacting with Chewy all while the rest of the characters are dead adds more insult to the legacy of the originals.
He also said that he didn't understand how luke was written in between those scene. That he would end the jedi, cut himself from the force etc... The problem with these sequels is that it invalid all that happened before. Like f those old movies and lets tickle the cash machine!
Yeah, he got screwed. The first movie should’ve had the main characters together for the duration of the film, at the very least one or two scenes. Luke should’ve had an epic light saber fight with Snoke in Episode 9 and Han Solo should’ve had an epic blaster fight with the Storm Troopers in the end of episode 7 and Carrie Fisher should’ve been a senator, not a general(that part made absolutely no sense to me).
Trust me, Mark isn't the only one disconnecting with Disney Star Wars.
He’s just staying optimistic about the outcome since there’s nothing he can do to change it. Everyone knows Mark is very disappointed with the direction Star Wars has gone in
Very ageist of Hollywood writers to assume that as soon as one “gets old” one must be bitter, disillusioned, and yelling at kids to get off of the lawn. This happened to Indiana Jones too.
he said on the red carpet, he didnt like the new movies
The Luke in the sequels was an entirely different character from the Luke in the originals. It’s like the writers didn’t know who he was.
The truth is Disney messed up. Firstly it took months to script and cast it - with constant rewrites and changes. The original heroes trio weren’t confirmed for over a year into production. The fact that they didn’t bring them all together in at least one scene for the first movie, was a huge mistake. Plus the idea to kill off Han, Luke and Leia in each consecutive film will forever ‘haunt’ this trilogy. The main reason being that the new characters don’t have a tenth of the charm and charisma of Ford, Hamill and Fisher. Their casting back in the 70’s was lightning in a bottle.
I wish they had made movies from the Heir to the Empire trilogy of books when they were released in the early 90s.
Funny how he does this since he supports everything the creators of the Sequel Trilogy stands for.
Luke giving in to fear and trying to kill leas son... They lost me at that and the fact they made rey and the stormtrooper Mary sues who could do anything without training.
Iger has single handedly destroyed nearly all of Disney's IPs.
As a matter of fact, it’s the whole sequel pack that should have been completely different.
Luke should've given more heroic end like joining Ray to face of Palpatine. Getting fatal wound against him, but not dying before clearing things with Kylo so both can join force together.
Als Fan hätte man sich mehr gewünscht von der ganzen Trilogie. Aber sind wir froh, dass wir überhaupt noch was bekommen haben. Was super wäre, wäre eine Luke Skywalker Serie mit Hamill.
They disrespected the entire old cast, the fact that all 3 of them were never together and the way they made Luke out to be a coward was an absolute travesty and Disney have sickened me to the core!! Mark Hammill was being polite in this interview but I bet he was seething at what Disney had done to his most beloved character
he cant be too harsh, as money is involved and will be involved in his relationship with StarWars until the day he dies
Lucas shouldn't have sold star wars in the beginning.
FYI: Mark never wanted to reprise the role of Luke in any meaningful way after the original trilogy. In a way, hes been running from the role ever since. He adores his fans but he felt Luke's story was finished.
He entered like a brooding, intense staring old geezer who's annoyed with people and he exited like a fart in the wind.
No respect whatsoever was paid to one of the most wholesome and hopefull characters in cinema history, shame on Ryan Johnson and that raging radical manhater Kathleen Kennedy.
The old crew deserved A LOT BETTER
He deserved better.
Star Wars fans deserved better.
