Star Wars: SJW - Mark Hamill says he was hornswoggled out of series

Is hornswoggled the same thing as milking a space cow titty?



"Hamill continued this thought by stating: “Luke, Han and Leia will never be together again, and I’ll probably never get to work with Harrison again. Then the second thing was that they killed me off. 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 also discussed a specific situation with Rian Johnson, director of “Star Wars: The Last Jedi,” in which he wasn’t so keen on his direction. “They had me walking by 3PO, not even acknowledging him,” explained Hamill. “I said: ‘I can’t do that!’ [Rian Johnson] said, ‘Okay, go over and do whatever.’ So I went over, and I did whatever. They say it.”

frick Rian Johnson and Kathleen Kennedy for shitting on this franchise.

Glad Hamill is finally admitting it instead of towing the company line. What Johnson did to Luke is complete and utter bullshite

I'm surprised honestly. A little too late, but after they silenced him the first time, I never thought he'd be back to talking shite about it.

I don’t really want to sound fanboyish but it is disappointing how everything has played out with the old characters. I just didn’t like it at all.

It’s incredible to me how much damage was done to Star Wars in one movie. A real gift that Johnson and Kennedy have

Their goal was to bring back the old characters simply to serve as a hook for audiences, and to then remove them fro the story in an effort to promote the new characters.

Instead of sitting down and thinking about how Luke would actually grow and play a role in this story if it were real, they instead went in with the mindset of writing these characters out of the story as expeditiously as possible.

Luke got fricked worse than Indiana Jones in that rumored 4th movie.

I was the biggest star wars fanboy as a kid and will never watch another star wars film. Didn't watch episode 8. It really is a tragedy what's been done to my childhood

Those stupid fricks really did a number on the franchise. What a shame.

Let’s give JJ Abrams his share of criticism as well. He decided to do a remake of the original and not have Luke in it at all. frick him

Brilliant direction from Rian. Worthless hack

I think the Han Solo arc was really well done. I'm pretty sure Harrison Ford wouldn't have wanted to do multiple movies, so I feel like they did the best thing they could do with that character.

At this point, I’m not even sure Johnson and Kennedy are actual Star Wars fans. Any actual fan would never let that kind of contradictory shite happen.

What am I saying, the entire episode 8 was a contradiction.

Not one fricking scene with Luke and Han. fricking bullshite. frick Kathleen Kennedy, Rian Johnson, and JJ Abrams for this. Whoever did Rogue One should have done this trilogy, we got the fan service we wanted in that movie (mostly). I'm not looking for high brow cinema in Star Wars.
