"I love to tease the fans online," he continued. "It drives them crazy. I'm sure Disney is not happy about it, but what are they gonna do, fire me? It's too late."
"How can you not have fun with it though? People say what was it like doing those movies, and we just laughed all day long," he recounted of his work on the space saga. He said that castmate Harrison Ford "was too cool for school" and Hamill joked that Ford would make an excellent director "if he wasn't so lazy." As the audience howled with laughter, Hamill suggested that part could be edited out later.
In all seriousness, he recounted the awe he remembers feeling at being on set of the first Star Wars movies. "I'd have this moment of self awareness: To my right is one of the most venerated actors of the 20th century, Sir Alec Guinness [who played Obi-Wan Kenobi in the original trilogy], to my left is an 8-foot guy in a dog costume wearing headphones," he said, laughing.
Of the enduring legacy of the films, he said when he read the script for the first film "it just hit me." "This is more like Wizard of Oz than traditional sci-fi, because 2001 is a stone-cold classic, but a laugh riot it ain't. And this one was so funny, it was on a human level," he explained, although he jokingly lamented "leave it to George Lucas to write a script where the robots get better lines than me."
Also, has anyone else noticed just how much more educated Mark Hamill is compared to most modern actors, or really most people in general these days?
I was watching some interview he did with his ST castmates and he said something like "How many Frenchmen can be wrong?" and they all just seemed to completely blank and start laughing awkwardly like he was speaking gibberish to them. And it's not just because he's old, he was like this even in his younger days too. Smarter than the average bear.
Cameron Russell
That's because Mark Hamill has SOUL
They did Luke so fucking dirty. I wanted to some him come do some prequel shit. Fuck all you faggots that didn't
The sequels feel so inconsistent with the OT and the PT. Every single line in those movies manages to have this magic that makes it memorable years later, even inconsequential stuff like "power converters" or "fly casual." Yet despite being far more recent only a couple lines from the ST stick out, and they only stick out because they're so bad. They just feel so safe and manufactured, like they could come from any average blockbuster. They don't have that Star Wars feel to them.

>especially when your opinions fall in line with the rest of the public. Apparently not considering how badly you're reacting to them. What's with you guys? When it's convenient for you to be the majority, you're the powerful ones and everyone agrees with you and you're winning and so on, but when it's not convenient, you're oppressed and everyone is against you and everyone is a zombie agreeing with the popular opinion.

Jeremiah Davis

But I suppose a bunch of retards are going to call you "based" because you arbitrarily got some numbers and your post happens to agree with their idiotic beliefs.
>Also, has anyone else noticed just how much more educated Mark Hamill is compared to most modern actors, or really most people in general these days? That's because Mark Hamill was educated during a period when the education system in the Anglosphere wasn't cucked and turned into this clownworld retardation it is today. The list of the world's top universities and institutions needs to be burned, it ain't worth a shit anymore. You have institutions in that list banning sarcasm because hurtie feelies for Christ's sake.
Another user in a different thread out it perfectly. Big movies like this aren't just aimed at Americans and native English speakers. They're premiering and touring all over Asia and SA. Lines are written with translation in mind, that kills any hope for depth

Jonathan Kelly
We, us, them?
Don't be a stupid bitch that dismisses valid points. Hamill is not actually doing anything that goes against the Company line. Some individuals here are just pointing that out. I mean you can google the articles to see he's got media support on whatever he's doing.
Let me know when he snaps and does something like say Disney uses toxic media tactics. Something that's true but he wouldn't have the balls to say.
Carson Anderson
This unfortunately isn't a new thing and even white guy actors get the blame foisted on them. It's ALWAYS the actor that receives the blame, never the director. Even though it's usually the director's fault.
Charles Morales
So basically, he lived in a society?

mark got redpilled after hollywood stopped casting him because all people would see is luke skywalker. his most important role, one of the most important roles in cinema history....and now it's all trashed thanks to sequel trilogy.
Eli Richardson
hamill is a piece of shit. a basic bitch boomer that wanted "women in power" and now acts like a little bitch because his only memorable and relevant role was treated like garbage by the women and liberal men he love so much.
Holy hell. Shut your fucking mouth /pol/tard, or I'll shut it for you.

the voice of chuck on the remake of some stupid horror movie, wow, the guy is really back.

Asher Lewis
I don't think people think his voice acting compares to Harrison Ford's overall acting.
Robert Anderson
mark was referencing the orson welles commercial. the champagne one
Benjamin Gutierrez
Mark got a sweetheart deal with the first Star Wars film and made so much he never had to work again, he chose to move into voice acting because it's easier.
Ian Myers
did you stop watching the new star wars trailer on a loop and finally enjoy the vacations, user?
doing voices on cartoons is better than being an a list hollywood legend, thats why he wasnt excited at all to come back to star wars, imagining that he would be an important character.
Guy starred in 3 of the biggest movies ever. Just decided to do voice acting from then on. Logical conclusion.
Xavier Green
The only reason to watch the trailer on a loop is the track, the rest is dogshit. John Williams' work is wasted and tarnished by the nu-Wars dogshit. The man deserves better.
Ian Ward
>Us Fuckin kek go back to r/thedonald
Connor Rodriguez
John Williams' sequel trilogy music isn't even that good. Don't get me wrong, the OT and PT music is good, but the ST music is completely phoned in.
This song by some dude I've never heard of was better than anything Williams composed for the ST.
Hunter Rivera
Dunno about that. This take on Leia's theme is pretty damn patrician. I know that composers usually have to be given inspiration by the screenwriters and writing itself projected via the Director to compose anything worth a shit, so i guess the big staff shifts following TLJ have reflected positively on his work. I think John just watched the incompetent shitshow during the past two movies and decided it wasn't worth it giving it his all. That's what happens when you demoralize everyone working on a project.
Juan Robinson
>tfw Mark Hamill never stuck around as voice of Wolverine He was fucking great in Wolverine's Revenge
The idea for the book came from the couple’s two-year stay in Paris from 1999 to 2001. In 1999, Jean-Benoît Nadeau received a grant from the Institute of Current World Affairs to study the French. The topic of study was: Why the French resist globalization. Two weeks after arriving in France the authors realized that the French were not resisting globalization at all. Jean-Benoît Nadeau wrote long reports to the foundation of his observations about France. Julie Barlow wrote a number of reports for the same institute.
Sixty Million Frenchmen Can’t Be Wrong answers the question that the authors struggled with during their two years in France: why do the French get so much flak for resisting globalization when they aren’t resisting it any more than other countries, including the United States?
Ayden Jenkins
You're drawing a lot of invalid conclusions from what I said. The only thing I'm saying is that it's not brave or ballsy to repeat socially acceptable rhetoric on the internet.

Even faggots in USA have students now telling teachers how they should teach and protesting tests as a format and demanding it be changed to home essays for final scores, while teachers are so cucked they open their buttholes for the students to fist. The entire Anglosphere's higher education is fucking Africa-tier now, including that of the rebellious child. Commit mass suicide.
And just because I don't want to let your stupidity stand unchallenged, let me also add that even the lowest, most unfavorable poll gives you idiots a sizable 30% of the population. As usual you're trying to create a scenario where you are simultaneously the scrappy underdogs and the unbeatable champions, when the fact of the matter is you have plenty of retards who consider YOUR rhetoric to be what's socially acceptable, and yet you claim you're being persecuted just because people dare you challenge you on your false claims. Keep acting like this and all you'll manage to do is push people away.

Hamill should have refused his role in TLJ after reading the script if he had any dignity. Absolutely weak and pathetic individual.
Julian Hill
can what happened to Luke be considered the Trump Curse?
Ian Reyes
Maybe, just maybe, he didn't hate it as much as your favorite YouTube channel Geeks and Gamers claims he did?
Evan Hill
>Trumptards are so desperate for a win that they actually believe in magic Lol. I spend hours shitting on Trump and my life's great, where's my Trump curse?
Aiden Rogers
This I love the OT but there is plenty of dialogue in it that sounds odd.
Aiden Reyes
>trump curse is that what they call a 13-year-old's asshole after Trump rapes them in it?
Youve abandoned your own argument in favor of accusing me of being two different posters, as if that would somehow invalidate what I said. Do you think having two people arguing against you instead of just one would somehow makes your position stronger? Maybe you like to see yourself as the scrappy underdog and the unbeatable champion simultaneously?
William Sullivan
Well, he's right, and he's almost 70. He has no fucks to give. He's gonna retire on the SW checks, and give the world a big middle finger. He might even keep doing the Joker stuff, for fun.
He knows it's over. I hope he starts opening up about them all at Lucas, he might be enough of a gentleman to wait until the movie is out, though. Unlike most of his peers, he has class.
Brody Baker
I already countered your argument, you chose to simply ignore it because this samefagging rabbit hole was more convenient to you. You're an embarrassment to yourself and all you represent.
Nicholas Phillips
>what are they gonna do, fire me? Nah, they'll kill you like they killed Carrie. :^)
Nicholas Martinez
>These retards call us Nazis >actually caring about that They can call me nazi all the want.
Ha! How exactly did you counter what I said? By making the assumption that Im some kind of alt-right trump mouth-foamer? Even if that were true I fail to see how that is a valid counter-argument. You also seem to have confused yourself as you are now accusing me of being a samefag when before you were saying I was two different posters! You are the one who tried to steer the argument in that direction anyway! How can I continue to argue with you when you can't even keep your own thoughts straight? I'm finished with you, if it makes you feel better you can tell yourself you won.
Oldfag here (mid-30s): I've gone back and watched the movies that came out when I was 12, and they are for the most part, terrible.
Writing is a lot better nowadays, even on shit-tier movies. Of course, there are amazing movies created in just about every time period, but they are the exception, not the rule.
Jace Brown
I like the writing in old 60s movies though, everyone was much more polite back then.
Jace Diaz
Not to mention he’s constantly dunking on Trump. Very smart indeed.
Adrian Butler
Not hard to dunk on someone who pronounces brain as "ahbrain".

Elijah Bell
>waiting 4 hours before responding in the desperate hope you would get the last word Yikes. And it's not gonna happen.
Austin Wilson
I'm not going to defend the original Star Wars but writing has intentionally taken a massive dip in quality over the last decade so that movies can be exported to foreign markets. It's why the comedy genre has been dying, actual comedy doesn't translate well, only snappy quips
Jonathan Sullivan
It's also led to people who just type massive run on sentences with comma after comma instead of stopping a sentence at the proper point.
Michael Robinson
A sensible person would assume that not everyone is here all the time, don't be proud of the fact that you have no life. But point stands, he toes the company line, he will still get work from Disney even if it's just flashbacks in films or marketing tours.
Brody Sanders
Actually your point doesn't stand because the video you refused to watch debunks it.
Checkmate.
Ryan Walker
What is with you, do you have no friends so you don't understand how not to behave.
Bentley Gomez
Simmer down, incel. Simmer down. And yes.
Justin Peterson
That's not how this works, you could have been sensible and simply typed out the quote that you thought was relevant, or better yet some damning reaction that showed that Disney didn't like it. Maybe if I ever end up dealing with you again you'll use some sense.
Cameron Morgan
It actually is, as long as you never watch that video you'll never be able to debunk me because you don't know what that video contains.
David Richardson
How do you think he sleeps at night knowing he ruined one of the most iconic, beloved, and inspirational characters in cinema history?
It's easy to make a >HE SLEEPS JUST FINE ON A PILE OF CASH comment, but if the man has any soul at all, he should feel at least an ounce of uncertainty about his decision to take Luke in that direction. It's not an exaggeration to say that generations of children grew up watching the original Star Wars trilogy in the decades since its release. Few movies had such a massive cultural impact as Star Wars, and Luke was at the center of it.
I'm sure Rian Johnson got paid handsomely for his work on Episode VIII, and I am also sure that he has surrounded himself with a bunch of far-left "yes men" who reassure him of everything he did, but he has to know that effectively destroyed a character that meant so much to so many people for such a long time. There's no way he doesn't know. I just wonder how he deals with it.
I know people think he's some soulless monster because they want to hate him, but I did see him expressing worry about the movie's reception on Twitter before it was actually released. He genuinely wasn't sure if the critics were going to like it as much as they did.
Hunter Howard
>calling somebody a Nazi is bad in a fuckin 2019 fuck off cuck
Charles Gutierrez
You people are just as fucking pathetic as the Eric reaction guy. Rian didn't desecrate they empty tomb of Jesus Christ, he just took Luke in a different direction than you wanted him to. Fucking hell, grow a pair of balls. I don't think TLJ is that great but a lot of what happened with Luke in that movie had thematic depth to it, even if you disagree with the direction it went. It's not like he just shat on star wars on purpose.
Aiden Cox
I don't think he actually cares that much. He was put on the helm of one of the biggest franchises out there and all he could think was how to insert his imaginary high school crush and make everything unpredictable. TLJ is so on the nose with the fuck the past theme that it's obviously intentional. He knew what he was doing. Sure he mey have been a little worried before release but Disney made sure to not let things get out of hand.
>It's not like he just shat on star wars on purpose You sure about that? Assuming he is not a bumbling idiot, having such dissonance with the original themes feels like an intentional move. He didn't just show a more grounded anti hero Luke, he went out of his way to ridicule him and completely break his character down.
that sounds plausible, but of COURSE he was going to be in these fucking movies. Who were they going to cast to play Luke? Ethan Hawke?
Brody Morgan
QUINTS OF TRUTH
Dylan Peterson
That could work, actually.
Ian Brown
Please look at this, I want to see some angry reactions once people find out what Luke's girlfriend looks like.
Oliver Young
But do they have MOISTURE farms?
Henry Reed
He's right though. I doubt almost any of Harvard graduates today could even pass the admission test they had back when the university was established. Now, I'm not trying to sound elitist or anything, since I'm probably a retard too for being educated in the modern school system, but that's just how it is
Charles Edwards
>admission test Universities don't have admission tests.
