Mark Hamill Debunks Another Insipid Conspiracy Theory About His Role In Star Wars: The Last Jedi

A few days ago, Mark Hamill tried his hand at clearing the air with regard to his thoughts on Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi and his creative differences with the Rian Johnson, ultimately noting that he thinks it’s a good movie even if he was expecting something different after the previous film. Unfortunately, that hasn’t stopped the rumor mill, so now he’s clarifying even further.

 

 

Spoilers for Star Wars: The Last Jedi ahead.

 

A quick bit of preface: this “leak” is based around Mark Hamill’s response that he disagreed with Rian Johnson about the direction that Luke Skywalker’s story arc was going to go in ahead of production on the film. The conspiracy alleges that the corporate overlords at Disney and Lucasfilm were so mad at Hamill’s comments that they decided to kill him off in post-production, without Hamill’s knowledge. Hamill was seen looking rather despondent and confused right after the movie was shown at the premiere, which the conspiracy-writer said was a result of Hamill learning of the movie’s “revised” ending after seeing the movie for the first time. The original posts alleging this malarkey can be read below:

 

 

 

There are so many holes in this nonsense conspiracy theory that you could call it Swiss cheese. First off, the entire fact that Luke dying the way that he did more or less confirms that he’ll be back as a Force Ghost, given how Obi-Wan Kenobi and Yoda went out the same way. Or, for that matter, Mark Hamill had told ET Canada that he already seen the movie back in November (or possibly earlier) and said that it was his favorite since The Empire Strikes Back. That’s not even getting into the fact that Colin Trevorrow and Derek Connolly’s draft of Episode IX was being revised by Jack Thorne up until the point where Trevorrow parted ways with Lucasfilm. But the biggest hole of all has everything to do with Leia Organa, since at the end of the movie, she tells Rey that she knows that Luke has become one with the Force. Hamill’s first comments indicating that he didn’t completely agree with Rian Johnson didn’t come until he spoke with Vanity Fair in May of 2017, which is well after Carrie Fisher passed away – so there was no way they could have filmed a reshoot where Leia talked with Rey about Luke’s ascendancy to become a Force entity unless they had planned that from the beginning.

 

If anything, it would have been easier to edit those lines out in post-production and have Luke live after all to accommodate for Fisher’s absence (complete with a reshoot of the Millennium Falcon landing back on Ahch-To and Luke walking up to the ship) – but at this point, it’s clear that Luke becoming more powerful than you could possibly imagine is something that Episode IX is going to follow up on. Make no mistake – Luke will be the biggest nostalgia-related draw that that movie is going to have, and I’m sure that the marketing department is going to handle that accordingly. In any case, Hamill had a Joker-like moment when he heard about this from our friend Jeff:

 

 

 

For good measure, Hamill made a comment a little later clarifying that no, Disney and Lucasfilm have not been telling him what to say:

 

 

 

…Especially because if they were, we wouldn’t have been in this whole mess about the whole “I fundamentally disagree with every decision you’ve made with this character” thing to begin with. Period.

 

Will these comments stick this time around? Knowing the way a certain subculture on the internet has responded to these movies, probably not – there’s likely already another one of those “Mark Hamill HATES The New Star Wars!” videos filled with sneakily-edited responses and particularly misleading quote mining making the rounds. But for the rest of us, we can at least be happy that another bit of hogwash has been safely debunked. I, for one, am looking forward to seeing Mark Hamill reprise his role in Star Wars Episode IX, in whatever capacity that may be.

    I don’t think Disney could control Hamill, even if they wanted to, he’s successful in his own way and could of said no to coming back. They need him more than the other way around, even now for IX for a return as a cameo in force-spirit form. With poor Carrie no longer around for IX and Solo killed off, he’s the only one that can fulfil a mentor role akin to Yoda and Obi-wan as a force-spirit.

    The internet is full of nonsense.

        because said conspirators are OT purists. R1 was good for them as it was basically an OT film, and TFA was good because it was practically ANH v2.

        Or, alterantively, they were waiting for VIII to attack it, because hitting the third Star Wars film would be the most destructive.

        I even can suppose it is the Legends fans who are conspiring. The waited for the new take on Luke provided by TLJ to hit hard.

        My last assumption it is that it is those who theorized about Snoke being Plagueis, and Plagueis being Jar Jar.

    Nice. Mark Hamill doesn’t conform and does it his way. It’s sad the internet wants to make this crap up and can’t just let it go. They would have done this to Carrie if she was still alive but now she’s gone and no more Han so they want to mess with Luke. He’s coming back as a force ghost no matter what.

    “The Last Jedi is now the No. 3 release of the year globally…The Resistance held very well overseas this session, dipping just 12% from last weekend which included Christmas Eve. Several markets saw increases.”

    “it’ll end its domestic run with $650-$670m in North America alone. It’ll end up retaining 69-72% of The Force Awakens’ domestic gross, right on par with The Empire Strikes Back (-32% from Star Wars) and Attack of the Clones (-30% from The Phantom Menace).”

      Thats good for Disney, but not necessarily good for people, there you have TFA, Is good for Star Wars and us? not necessarily, is good for Lucas Films and Disney? absolutely. the same with TLJ, this only tells Disney that they can put porgs, cheap comedy, and conventional story telling in it and people will give them a lot of money anyway. Wich eventually may drive new star wars films in to inconsequential big movies, with no real substance :/ sad.

      As Mark Hamill told George Lucas after the screening of TFA “This will never be the same…” sadly.

      I don’t hate any of the new movies, but man, this doesn’t tell any good about the future of Star Wars movies. They can’t figure out completely what a star wars movie should be I don’t think they will in the future. But lets be positive ha ha ha ;).

            So being flat-out honest about the Jedi being fuck-ups wasn’t a narrative chance? Saying that our childhood heroes can be flawed people isn’t a narrative chance? Saying that the dashing rogue pilot isn’t always in the right wasn’t a narrative chance? Revealing that someone’s heritage actually doesn’t matter wasn’t a narrative chance. Killing the “emperor” of the trilogy before it’s even over isn’t a narrative chance? I think the reaction from fanboys says other wise (“they ruined Luke”, “my childhood got raped”, “my Rey theory was wonrg!!11” etc.)

      What some people fail to realise is that the reviews online, on for example RT, are in truth a small percentage of the people that go to the cinema. The majority of people, often the silent majority, simply enjoy it for what it is and don’t feel the need to review. Those that review are those whom either like it a lot, don’t like, and both fall into the category of people likely to review a fan (the minority).

        You are right, in almost everything, but you stand that the mayority of people, the silent one, enjoy it for what it is, I’m sure that mayority have people who like it and people who don’t too. that just a sample.

        What is missing in that sample, I think, is the people who doesn’t care is if the movie is good or bad, they just like to go to the movies and will go next time again, with the proper marketing, and this is what really matters for them.

        Not to mention that the ACTUAL majority of online, nonprofessional viewers, have liked it.

        Disney is probably only going to pay attention to pro reviewers…Roger & Ebert, Wall Street Journal, USA Today etc. and ignore reader reviews on this one. They probably look at the 51% on RT vs the 76% on IMDB and 91% of pro reviews and attribute the massive discrepancy to the kind of pile-on phenomenon that buried EA over BF2 loot boxes.

      Really don’t care about Box office as the last time I checked a movie like Transformers Franchise has made billions of dollars. The Fast & Furious Franchise has made billions of dollars. Does that mean they are any good?

      This is the whole problem with Hollywood and why the movies are terrible compared to so many great TV dramas on cable and streaming. If you want to pound your chest that TLJ is going to make a billion dollars, so be it. I’ll take a great SW movie that does only 50 million.

        There is nothing wrong with Luke being broken and anti Jedi after becoming the latest Jedi master to fail and unleash a monster on the galaxy. It doesn’t have to be all “happily ever after” after ROTJ.

        I will say this though, as much as I appreciated how/what Luke did to sacrifice himself to save the remnants of the Resistance and be a spark to a new Rebellion (rinse repeat…ugh), I would have liked to see Luke’s inevitable sacrifice have a more grand and practical impact than just buying 5 minutes time for a handful of rebels to escape. That said, it’s no more or less than what Obi Wan did.

      The point of this article, BTW, is not to say that he was absolutely 100% happy with the movie. (I do think that there’s a part of him that’s at least a little disappointed that he didn’t get to be a more traditional hero, but even then he enjoyed making the movie.) It was to say that Disney would have had absolutely no way of getting rid of him in the way that the conspiracy said they were going to.

    I’ve never thought Disney told him to play cleanup, only that Mark, like Luke, is a true Jedi Hero (unlike the BS version R.J. Wrote) and has come out to take some lumps to hopefully heal the franchise.

    Marks first inclination about how they handled Luke was dead in. If he’s changed his mind, cool. Still makes the movie badly written.

        Because Hamill signed on in 2012 thinking Lucas was writing the Trilogy so he trusted him since he invented the character. Hamill has no idea they would part ways and there would be a new writer with possibly a new vision for Luke Skywalker post ROTJ. That’s why he was so vocal cause he didn’t sign on for Rian Johnson, he signed on for George Lucas.

          That’s BS. You talk as if Lucas was about to write and direct the whole trilogy. Read Empire and Jedi Making of books and look at the creative process. You’ll see how many changes are done at Lucas’ primary plans. This is what made those films amazing. Lucas full control is the prequels.

          It’s not just that Lucas sold it all to Disney, is that he’s not in charge of Lucasfilm either. Kathleen Kennedy brought LFL to a new era that is much more accepted than the prequel time, and while Lucas was doing a movie each 2 years, she’s bringing 1 per year and for now the three of them were from good to great.

            Never said that. They were going to use Lucas outline for the Trilogy as he was going to be involved like he was in ESB and ROTJ where they would hire a screenwriter and director to implement his vision. After the sale, Disney discarded Lucas notes, then divorced and JJ started from scratch.

    Mark Hamill may not have been “told” to make a comment (tweet) but was probably “asked” to be more supportive of the Sequel Trilogy.

        If you think that Hamill has not been told by Disney to knock off the negative comments then you’re delusional. He’s been taking shots at TLJ all the way back to May. The reason Disney probably finally told him to knock it off is because of the backlash from a portion of the fanbase. They sort of felt justified in their negative opinion of the movie when Luke Skywalker agrees with them.

This is not about the fans, is about the people who picks Hamill’s story about the creatives differences and avoids it’s ending, that “there’s nothing better than leaving your confort zone and it would have been wrong to repeat the ObiWan type of character”. It all, because they didn’t like the movie.

I understand the passion to want to forcible shape Star Wars to the way you’d want it but we have to accept we don’t control it. It’s going to do things we don’t like sometimes.

    Fighting among ourselves or belittling one another seems… pointless. It happened. No taking it back. Just politely debate or point out why you did or didn’t care for it and move on.

    I am not sure which is a bigger fiction the Warren Commission or articles trying hard to prove TLJ was not a bad movie. Here is Hamill’s direct quotes from Vanity Fair and Spanish media who are probably part of the vast conspiracy.

    “I pretty much fundamentally disagree with every choice you’ve made for this character,” Mr. Hamill told his director prior to filming.

    “This is the next generation of ‘Star Wars’. I almost had to think of Luke as another character. Maybe he’s Jake Skywalker. He’s not my Luke Skywalker,” Mr. Hamill said.

    Oddly many,many people agreed with those comments and found Skywalkers story arc cultural vandalism and the movie to be underwhelming fan fiction. Negative reaction to any movies are just as legitimate responses even when they are backed up by direct and verified quotes. I am mystified by the Orwellian revisionism and fanlove herd mentality to something so badly done.

            Actually Lucas and Disney are on exactly the same page in turning their SciFi IP into a Toy Story. Please read this quote from Forbes Magazine which fully explains why these are not movies but commercials.

            Analysts predict Star Wars merch will generate some $3 billion in
            sales in 2015, and $5 billion over the next 12 months. Disney kicked up
            its marketing to a higher level Sept. 4 with Force Friday, an engineered
            shopping day pegged to the launch of a new line of Star Wars toys. It
            produced holiday-esque sales that bettered Amazon’s Prime Day and
            neared Black Friday levels, even without any deals, according to Adobe.
            There were 15 million visits to websites selling Star Wars products
            between September and November, Adobe says.

            “Since its introduction in the late’70s, Star Wars has been one of the biggest franchises for licensed products in the entertainment business,” Marty Brochstein, senior vice president of industry relations and information for the International Licensing Industry Merchandisers Association, told Forbes.”But to my memory, the level of activity surrounding this film launch has never been seen in Star Wars history or with any other movie franchise.”

      The problem is people like you that insist that we all must agree with you and hate it. Even MH said what they ended up doing with his character worked with the story

            You compare several dozens of critics with like 200 thousands of those who payed for the ticket? Don’t you think the more votes the more accuracy? Of course not, you see a Holy grail where is just a big empty hole…

        Actually it is a bad movie and nearly 50% of the RT audience agrees which is a historic unique occurrence for this kind of movie on that site and the history of the series. Given how insular and incestuous the Hollywood industry is his comments probably didn’t over well with people who he needs to keep happy for future employment on other projects. You know like all the people who kept silent about all the predators in their midst for decades to get where they are now.

    Mark Hamill was totally right to “fundamentally disagree with virtually everything” with the director. He always knew that TLJ is trash.

    why are people paying to see a film they dont like multiple times ?.
    there are films and tv series i liked that went off the boil for me so i stopped watching them and did something else . if you dont like the new films then perhaps this isnt for you , stop paying for something that you know , in all likelyhood , you are not going to like . ….. its a bit mental.

    I enjoyed the movie but think that if you changed these it would be great:
    1.cut the over the top humor between Poe and Hux in the beggining
    2.superwoman leia has to be cut!
    3.swap Holdo with Leia doing the kamikaze hyperdrive

      But then we wouldn’t have gotten the Luke/Leia scene. I think that was something that would have felt like the biggest missed opportunity after people complained about a lack of a reunion in TFA.

      Impossible because Leia was there at the end of the movie, the last scenes, and the scenes inbetween. Half of the movie would have to be redone.

      it should have been admiral ackbar to do the kamikazi and not have him killed off in the begining who even cared for holdo and they should have just cut the whole casino scene the weakest part of the movie

    Here’s the logic of this articles writer:

    Mark: “This isn’t my Luke.” “I have to pretend this is another character entirely.” (to Rian) “I fundamentally disagree with everything you believe.”

    Writer: “Anybody who thinks Mark is unhappy with the direction Disney took Luke is a tinfoil hate wearing conspiracy theorist!!!”

    Fact is, Mark “loved” The Last Jedi just like Palpatine “loved” the Republic and democracy.

    Im glad that Mark got a chance to play Luke again, I love that this trilogy is going in it’s own direction. I think it is hilarious that people try to put words in his mouth when the on screen performance shows that he cared still and had a lot left give .

      Of course Mark still cared about Luke and still does. But it’s obvious the PAIN Mark was in for months and months after filming, as evidenced by all of his interviews during 2017 —- except for here recently when Disney / Ruin Johnson begged him for Approval.

        It wasn’t Disney, it was chemtrails that got to Mark.

            No, you’re inventing a lot of slobbery conjecture about the context Hamill put those interviews in. His explanation is perfectly reasonable and about 1,000,000 times more likely than yours.

            There’s a correlation between dismissing and selectively using. I’ve done neither – you’re projecting. MH has been clear about the context of what he said. You sad creatures are the “nutjobs” dismissing what he’s said to clarify his earlier comments.

    During the promotional tour of Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Harrison Ford was asked to describe the upcoming film in one word, “explosive”, he said.
    Later on, after he was no longer obligated to promote the movie, he was asked again, “explosive”?
    Yes he said, “it blew”.
    We merely have to wait until the promotional aspect of Mr Hamill’s contract expires, then we may know if his “feelings, on the matter are clear”
    We may have to wait post DVD and Blu-ray for that

    • January 7, 2018 at 9:26 am

      Honestly, I don’t think we’ll ever know what are Hamill’s true feelings about TLJ. Ford still had plenty of other high paying gigs, so he could speak his mind about Crystal. It was no big deal to him because studios wanted him for other projects and it didn’t look like there would be another Indy movie anyway. On the other hand, Hamill’s biggest paycheck comes from Star Wars related activities. So Hamill knows if he is too negative, then he may get the David Prowse treatment with a cold shoulder from Disney. And then Hamill has lost a big revenue source for him. I’m still guessing his thoughts come down somewhere between the two extremes of his public comments, but we may have to wait until there is a post-mortem book by Hamill before we know for sure.

    But you’re perfectly ok accepting Mark’s other comments because they fit your perpective. So those negative comments are ok and correct, everything else he says is a Disney lie? Do I have that right?

    You’ll notice that Mark did not actually retract his criticisms, he is only criticizing hate fan comments
