- 6 years ago
Mark Hamill was "surprised" there was backlash to 'Star Wars: The Last Jedi'.
The 66-year-old actor reprised his role as the Jedi Master Luke Skywalker in the eighth installment of the hit sci-fi franchise last year - the part he played in George Lucas' original trilogy - and the movie was met with a mixed reaction from fans and critics alike.
However, in an interview with Den of Geek, Hamill admitted he wasn't expecting the backlash the film received but understands why and that's why he loves the franchise.
Hamill said: “I was surprised that there was some backlash to it, but I get it, because I'm a fan too.”
Hamill also went on to say how when he first starred in 'A New Hope' back in 1977, the internet didn't exist and he never received a letter from someone saying how much they hated him, compared to now.
