My sister and I are long time viewers; I just mean that it’s time to live up to what you keep saying about being “apolitical.” At the end I like your point about this being a question of respect for what Mark Hamill has achieved as an artist. I know many actors are uncomfortable with their bodies being puppeteered on screen without consent. Just because someone disagrees with this use of AI doesn’t mean they are a fake fan or fall somewhere on the political spectrum. A lot of “fake fans” probably agree with you, and frankly love a lot of what you’ve created. Attacking the character of people criticizing you isn’t helping make your point, it’s just making it harder for people to enter this space who aren’t what you call “O.G. fans.”

Who is the opportunist who charge 1300$ for toy lightsaber, stupid copied merch from Lucas movie ?

[@cosmicchorus9898]

Honestly when it comes to deep fakes, you have to be careful. The strikes over it literally just ended, it's a very sensitive topic for actors because it can set a precedent where anyone can use their likeness without compensation or approval. As a person, that has to be a really weird thing to see and be used like that. I believe getting permission on these things from the actor is important for this. I believe you should have tried to do that, and I don't believe this means Mark hates you. I get this really sucks, but just try to be careful going forward

[@HenryCurrie-q2e]

It's irrelevant what Mark thinks on this topic anyway because he doesn't own the rights to his likeness when referenced as Luke Skywalker. He signed that away a long time ago. SWT has an agreement with LucasFilm who do own the likeness rights. The stuff with the actors strike also isn't relevant because SWT isn't part of the industry, nor is he in any of the relevant unions. Those agreements aren't legally binding to the wider population because it isn't a piece of US legislation, just a contract between private entities.

[@dylanzrim3635]

It wasn’t a deepfake strike. It was an overall AI strike. Deepfake still works best on the OG actor it’s trying to deepfake, and deepfake are still best used to make someone younger.

[@cosmicchorus9898]

Well the whole actors strike was about such matters so fresh in actors minds atm. One aspect about was about who gets paid if others are using a known actors image for their own monetary gain. I’m not sure if Hamill knew whether it was monetised or not.

[@DarrelsWonderland]

To be fair, we as actors just had a whole strike about AI, using our likeness without our consent, among other things. And it would be a horrific legal nightmare for you both if he did say “yes”. Don’t take it personally, my dude!

[@Maximilian_Ingrosso]

But that is about earning money. It doesn’t apply to this because you can’t make money off Star Wars fan films. So the actor isn’t being ripped off for the use of their likeness since there is no money to be made

[@TehZach1993]

Maybe Hollywood should try making some good stuff for a change instead of insulting their fans for rejecting their poorly written garbage? Actors and writers are rich, the strike was the most out of touch thing I've ever seen, yet I'm expected to feel sorry for Hollywood elites all of a sudden.

Not sure ppl realize this, but Mark Hammel doesn’t own the likeness to Luke. Disney does. So Theory asking Mark and Mark giving him the OK would mean literally nothing. Theory did right thing in talking to Lucafilm and got permission from them to create the SW films as long as he didn’t monetize or profit from it. He has all the permission he needs. The character Luke Skywalkets is not Mark Hammels to approve or not. As a fan I know Theory would like his blessing, but other than a feel good for his project, it really wouldn’t mean jack lol.

⁠​⁠@@LegitScott you’re drawing a false comparison between the two and slapping “AI bad” as a label on both. Part of the strike was to _regulate_ AI, to protect actors from being scanned once and then cut out of residuals while studios use their likeness indefinitely.

Thank you for making and continuing this channel. I was born in 83 so just had the originals to watch on TV so grew up on them. I was always frightened of my father as he had a very cruel and selfish personality. So I instantly identified with Luke and Darth Vader. In the late 90s 2000s I was in high school when the prequels came out. They got a lot of flack and everyone's option was influenced that they were terrible films. So when you said it wasn't cool to be a Star Wars fan at school, that really spoke to me. As unfortunately I had to act like I wasn't into it, one kid admitted he liked Star Wars and Star Trek and he was labelled the biggest Nerd in school, and it wasn't a cool thing to claim to be then. But now everyone knows I love Star Wars and I connect with all of it including the sequels such as Kylo Ren. Thank you for continuing this channel MLFBWY
