American actor Mark Hamill, who plays the iconic character Luke Skywalker in the "Star Wars" saga, has expressed his regret for throwing some shade at his character for "The Last Jedi." Hamill made a public statement, wherein he explained that he had his personal doubts with the direction that the hype-filled movie was going, which is a big deal since he is part of the first George Lucas trilogy. Hamill's tweet ended on a good note, as he called the movie "great."

In the tweet that Hamill posted, he stated that he should not have publicly shared his thoughts and opinions regarding his disagreements with the latest installment in the "Star Wars" franhcise. He iterated that having disputes that involve creative differences happen on a regular basis in the this type of work, and under normal circumstances, the people involved in these projects keep their disputes and disagreements to themselves. 

At the end of the tweet, Hamill affirmed that the film's director, Rian Johnson, had done a "great" job at executing a well-made film, which is all that Hamill wanted in the first place. As the premiere date of the film was nearing, Hamill voiced his negative opinions about the movie across multiple outlets, wherein he stated that he "completely disagrees" with Johnson's fresh take on his character's development. 

In an interview with IMDb, Hamill also admitted that he was wrong to judge the executive directorial decisions that Johnson made throughout the creation of "The Last Jedi." To be fair to Johnson, the task of executing the plot around Luke well was a tremendous undertaking to begin with. Johnson also stated that working on Luke's development was brought on by a lot of pressure, given the character's weight in the space opera saga.  

Despite their differences, both Johnson and Hamill agree that they have indeed come up with a truly memorable film in "Star Wars: The Last Jedi."
