In the past few weeks and months surrounding The Last Jedi, fans critical of the movie's lateral movement of the series rallied around actor Mark Hamill's personal criticism of the movie. Now, Hamill is making himself clear on the subject of the eighth Star Wars film.
"I regret voicing my doubts & insecurities in public," Hamill wrote on Twitter. "Creative differences are a common element of any project but usually remain private. All I wanted was to make good movie. I got more than that- [Director Rian Johnson] made an all-time GREAT one! #HumbledHamilll"
Hamill was referring to a series of interviews in the press junket ahead of The Last Jedi's release where he criticized Johnson's vision for the series hero, Luke Skywalker.
"Luke was so optimistic and so hopeful and cheerful. Here he's is in a very, very dark place," Hamill told Spanish outlet SensaCine. "I said to Rian, I said, 'Jedis don't give up.' Even if he had a problem, he would maybe take a year and try to regroup. But if he made a mistake, he would try and right that wrong, so right there, we had a fundamental difference.
"It's not my story anymore," Hamill continued. "It's somebody else's story, and Rian needed me to be a certain way in order to make the ending effective."
The comments rode a wave on social media as evidence that even Hamill, a symbolic banner of Star Wars before the Disney acquisition, disliked the film. It provided evidence that The Last Jedi veered too far from what made the series great and that Luke Skywalker himself disapproved of the oft-times experimental newest movie in the series.
But Hamill has now clarified that position. He still believes in the movie, but acknowledges the difference he and Johnson had over Luke's character.

No offense but that font literally and not figuratively blinded the hell out of me.
I haven't watched The Last Jedi yet due to the reviews it's received but I've also read that the movie's good so... I've got mixed feelings about watching it.

He's right. They didn't write Luke properly and he was pretty much useless the whole movie. Not a fan of The Last Jedi. Hopefully JJ Abrams can clean up what Rian Johnson did.

I have not watched a Star Wars movie in my life and I heard this movie isn't worth watching!

I honestly thought it was the worst star wars movie to date, the comedy scenes throughout the movie and feminist underplot was nothing like star wars should be and I think Mark Hamill cares more about money and his future acting roles than voicing his opinion.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion though and it would definitely be enjoyable to the younger audience that it's now being targeted towards.
