“Star Wars” fans will never stop debating what director Rian Johnson did to ‘The Last Jedi,’ it’ll just be part of the norm for them, up there with did “Han shoot first?” and why Chewie was snubbed of a medal.

Rian Johnson’s “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” upended and infuriated so many fans of George Lucas’ prized franchise that expectations for the upcoming J.J. Abrams-directed “Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker” comes with bittersweet expectations for some.

Mark Hamill is an automatic go-to for World of Reel. Whenever the guy opens his mouth we tend to cover the outrageously honest stuff he says. Interviewed during the THR podcast, complained that he didn’t like how he was introduced in the "The Force Awakens” and how he was, eventually, killed in “The Last Jedi.”

Ah yes, Mr. Mark Hamill is at it yet again. He’s currently promoting his latest project “Knightfall,” but was asked , again, about the bewilderment that was “The Last Jedi,” even 14 months since its release.

Simon Pegg says “The Last Jedi” made him “miss” George Lucas
Simon Pegg is a movie geek. There's no about about it. Which is why he's never shy giving his own two cents on what he likes and doesn't like on-screen. So it shouldn't be a surprise whenever he decides to praise or criticize at his own risk. And so, in a new interview on the Adam Buxton Podcast, he spoke about a controversial topic in Hollywood these days: the state of Kathleen Kennedy's "Star Wars" enterprise.
Read moreRian Johnson: Depiction of Luke Skywalker in 'The Last Jedi' Is “100% Consistent” With Original Trilogy
Rian Johnson just tweeted, “Hot take: Luke is in fact 100% consistent with his character (not the way he’s described in marketing blurbs, but his actual, based-on-his-words-and-actions character) from the [Original Trilogy]. I’ll be at the bar if you need me.”
He's obviously trolling all the haters. No other reason to bring this up a year after the film was released.
Mark Hamill on ‘The Last Jedi’: “They had time for me to milk that alien but to show human emotions, nah…”
Mark Hamill's interviews promoting "The Last Jedi" back in December were fascinating to watch. The 66-year-old-actor seemed to be somewhat bitter or, at the very least, troubled by the way Luke Skywalker was treated in Episode 8 by director Rian Johnson.
Hamill is back this week criticizing Disney for making him milk that disgusting sea cow and "not even having a short scene where Luke shows human emotions." Yikes. He doesn't seem to give two fucks about it either. The 66-year-old actor can't help but let his real thoughts slip into the fray. That's why we adore the guy, but, honestly, why even bother come back for Episode 9, I mean, I know Rian Johnson is gone and Abrams is back, but Disney probably don't want him near the next installment, especially since "The Last Jedi" made $200+ million less than "The Force Awakens." Hamill has insulted their product on countless occasions. What other actor would do that to Disney? It's not that I disagree with his sentiments and reservations for TLJ, it's just that he's shown no respect to them in countless interviews. I would be peeved off if I were Lucasfilm head Kathleen Kennedy.
I gathered a up a few stories that had to do with Hamill criticizing Disney and "The Last Jedi."
