I regret voicing my doubts & insecurities in public.Creative differences are a common element of any project but usually remain private. All I wanted was to make a good movie. I got more than that- Rian Johnson made an all-time GREAT one! #HumbledHamill

Sounds like the Disney Mafia told Mark to STFU.

Did they threaten to wad him up and toss him away, too, like his character? 


EDIT:  So he had actually signed up for the new SW movies back when Lucas was still supposed to be involved?  Ouch.  No wonder he looks on the verge of workplace violence.

True. Donald Duck actually spoke with an English accent until he got out of line.     These guys play for keeps.

We can make all the jokes we want, but Hamill's bread and butter is as a voice actor. It does him no good to displease his new Masters at Diznee.

Gwendoline, NOOOOOOO!

Hamill's bread and butter better be investments from the lucre he has hauled in over the years every time someone connected to Lucasarts wanted to use his voice and/or likeness in a product somewhere.

As for his other side-income, being the definitive voice of the Joker and some occasional spin-offs from that work (such as guest-starring as his original DC villain role the Prankster, from which he got the job as the Joker eventually, on the new Flash show {inhale})... again, I hope he invested that money somewhere smart, and is living off the dividends not the principal. But Disney doesn't own Warner Brothers, much less DC, yet. Disney looks to be burying Luke Skywalker and the Star Wars past, regardless if it's a respectful send-off or a slash-and-burn salted earth icepick-to-the-temple campaign, so one way or another that train ride is at an end.

The lawyers probably threatened him with libel or something along the line of malicious product devalue, so now he's pretending he only just recently saw the finished product and what they did with him was waaaay cooler than he thought.  ::) Either way his main career has flumped to a halt (again, after a brief and kind of sad reanimation), and whatever he can do to safely make peace with that is up to him. But as long as he doesn't end up on the wrong side of a defamation suit, he can get work elsewhere for nostalgia's sake in several ways.

I don't blame him being bitter about how things have turned out, beyond his control. Or, really, for protecting himself from litigation. Or who knows, maybe his about-face is genuine somehow.  <:-)

It's funny that no one is considering that Hamill might have actually changed his mind, rather than have Disney change it for him. 

Isn't that at least a possibility?

Sure it's possible.

So is me winning the Powerball and MegaMillions lottery in the same week. Possible yes; will it happen? No way in hell.
