Funny enough, I’ve seen that YouTube video is my suggestion box for the past week or so, so I automatically didn’t read it as a “Mark Hamil injured” way.

Still, I don’t have to watch it to guess what some enraged fanboy did. Lemme guess, someone pulled a series of Mark Hamil interview quotes out of context that make him look like he trashes Disney’s Star Wars?

Look, if you want to trash Disney here due to how it’s handling Star Wars, there’s plenty aspects to attack here without painting Mark fucking Hamil as this “stick it to the man!!” kind of person when it’s not the case.

Disney giving SW gaming rights to EA has been terrible. Porgs is soulless marketing of toys that serve zero purpose in the film beyond that. The way Disney keeps pumping out SW films for years to come that keep staying close in the OT timeline (Rogue One, Han Solo, Kenobi) that further exploits our nostalgia instead of venturing away from it. Those are all arguably sound criticisms you can launch at Disney.

Plus, it’s not like Lucas is some shining example of independent film making. It’s amazing we got what we got in the OT, but even Lucas himself refused to kill Han Solo off because of the fact that a “dead Han Solo” doesn’t sell merchandise. It only stings so much right now, understandably, because of how mega corporate Disney is. But for the love of god, these FAKE NEWS edited videos of Mark Hamil is just that, FAKE NEWS.
