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.

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.

Ive been lucky enough to meet mark hamill briefly at a con, I was a kid and didnt have a ticket to see anyone at the autograph booths area. I was dressed up like luke skywalker and mark saw me from afar and smiled and waved at me and did a funny face. Its now 15+ years later and ill still never forget that moment. I dont think Mark would ever intentionally try to hurt your feelings here, especially with how passionate about starwars you clearly are. I think he was just quickly responding to the question and hes entitled to say no. I dont think he meant to offend

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.

[@tjanderson5892]

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.

They say it's better to ask for forgiveness than permission. In Theory's case, he should have simply asked Mark for permission to use his likeness and make the best content around his character. That way, you don't have to apologize. It's my two cents.

[@dearthofdoohickeys4703]

Guys don’t put blinders on. Mark didn’t _have_ to say anything. The fact he singled out this question and chose to reply makes it extremely clear he’s not happy about it. And read the thread, it’s full of people openly crapping on Theory. That’s not a coincidence.

[@LegitScott]

What a load of nonsense. The strike that ended just a few weeks ago dealt with big issues surrounding AI. He did the right thing by responding and that’s all it was.

[@chaossalad3243]

Of course the people hating in the thread is a coincidence. They all posted after Mark’s reply. It isn’t and cannot be evidence for Mark’s intentions. Anything regarding the context of why he replied in the first place might be considered “evidence”, but it’s still mostly guesswork.

[@dearthofdoohickeys4703]

⁠​⁠@@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.

Really didn’t like the implication at 3.5 minutes in that girls who just became fans aren’t worthy to be called fans. Dude you can’t keep claiming Star Wars fans “aren’t sexist” and then use so many gendered attacks. As an “OG” fan by your definition (got my dog-eared copy of Heir to the Empire signed by Timothy Zahn himself) I want to say sorry to the people being bullied today for liking Star Wars like I was bullied as a kid. If you’re a woman who likes new Star Wars, I’m so sorry for people like this guy. You’re as much a fan as any of us.

[@jeffreylin2980]

To be clear: please keep creating fan content. 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.”

[@townminish8491]

Agree that people in this community need to stop with the sexism, even if it's just implied. I feel like you've kind of missed the point of the video, I think he was saying that using Mark Hamill's image like this is less problematic because he's only making fan works. Fanfictions have infringed on copyright for years, and they're usually treated as harmless. The world would be a lot worse if we didn't have this kind of content out there.

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
