***Now that's a cheap shot. He does indeed deserve it. ***
Hey, he's done a lot to technically move filmmaking forward - but his characters are wooden and insipid. Some of the dialogue was utterly laughable, "Hold me Anni, hold my like you did beside the lake on Naboo..." - Come on! You gotta admit that's funny!
***Without "Star Wars: A New Hope," it is unlikely that any of the Star Trek movies would have been made,***
And that would be a bad thing???

Then you should know that GL has mostly shunned Hollywood, he's more of an independent.
Well I was too. I was damned glad the Empire and the Sith won. The Jedi turned out to be a bunch pathologically lying mystical wizards that cannot deal in absolutes.
GO EMPIRE !
Okay, ya got me there. I did like spiderman tho...
This dialogue is actually better than what is in the movie. No joke.
How so? Hamill, Ford, Fisher, Daniels, and others were given percentage point$ on the profits of the Star Wars Trilogy.
Lucas, in short, made millionaires out of the lot of them.
Mark Hamill is doing what he enjoys now, acting (granted, a lot of B Movies, but...), being with his family, doing voice overs, character voice work, and traveling quite literally the world over to Conventions.
Trust me, as far as Hamill is concerned, he has nothing to curse Lucas for.
I should be so lucky to have it as well.
AMEN CBS.
Oh, the money meant more.
