Never one to shy away from speaking what’s on his mind, Luke Skywalker actor Mark Hamill is again talking the current crop of “Star Wars” movies and what he wishes Disney would’ve done differently.
In a new interview with Den of Geek discussing his role on the series “Knightfall,” the actor – who last appeared as Jedi Luke in Rian Johnson’s “The Last Jedi” – says that his main beef with the new series is that Luke, Leia and Han were never in the one place at the one time. Skipping on that reunion, the actor believes, was a big “mistake”.
“I just thought, Luke’s never going to see his best friend again. I said that it was a big mistake that those three people would never reunite in any way. Luke, Han and Leia will never be together again, and I’ll probably never get to work with Harrison again.”
Hamill also wasn’t pleased with where his character ended up at the end of “The Last Jedi” – but admits it’s a selfish nitpick.
“I thought: oh, okay, you should push my death off to the last one. That’s what I was hoping when I came back: no cameos and a run-of-the-trilogy contract. Did I get any of those things? Because as far as I’m concerned, the end of VII is really the beginning of VIII. I got one movie! They totally hornswoggled me.”
Hamill is said to be making some sort of appearance in “Star Wars : Episode IX”, opening December 20.
