Sorry Jason but I’m not buying his diplomatic talk over everything else he has already said about the matter on top of his reaction after his first viewing speaking volumes about his feelings on the matter. I think he’s dying to say what he really thinks about the whole matter but at the same time doesn’t want to jeopardise his role in IX by pissing off Disney.This video pulls some of those comments together along with his post viewing reaction, though I wish it didn’t have the bleeding heart violin music over the top of it all.

Nothing more than another one of the same old videos that edit the interviews in an attempt to prove Mark hated it. Why don’t they just show the whole interviews? Oh yeh, that’s right, because it would go against what they are trying to prove.
Yes I’ve seen many such videos myself and closed them as a result. I understood that this video does that and knew I would get such a response upon posting it. I only posted it still as a summary of some of those comments that also included his reaction which there is no other version of that gives it a different skew. Ive seen many of those full interviews though and generally Mark just follows up with diplomatic comments. He apparently expressed many of his ideas about Luke to JJ who promptly ignored him, so by the time TLJ came around I think he was already resigned to the fact that Disney were going to do as they wanted with his character. This didn’t stop him from being shocked about what they’d written for Luke though and he tries to express his opinion in a way that still leaves him with a job. You can see in one interview Kathleen literally pull him up short in an attempt to enact some damage control over the picture Mark was painting at the time.
