ST Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker) in the ST

why is no one discussing JJ praising Hamill's acting in TLJ and seems to think he's worthy of an oscar nomination and he can't wait for people to see him and it fits very very well with how RJ called Hamill the heart/emotional entry of TLJ.

 

Perhaps because none of us have seen his performance in TLJ yet. Once we do, another story. Mark is an excellent actor, don't need JJ to grok that.

 

do you think JJ has already seen the rough cut? I really hope JJ is right and that Luke's role is perfect. His words sound like a lot of drama is going on.

 

the point is not about seeing his performance, my point is that JJ and RJ's words echo how powerful Luke will be dramatically/emotionally in TLJ.

As for whether JJ has seen a cut, his words do seem to say he's seen something involving Luke at the minimum whether he's seen the whole film or not is another story.

 

why don't they show me a cut of the film so that I can confirm it? I agree, Luke really seems to be the heart and soul of TLJ.

 

Remember when some were saying JJ hates Luke and Mark by extension?

Cause I do.

 

I hope JJ "nominating" Mark doesn't turn out like when he "nominated" Harrison. JJ was promising that Harrison would get a nomination, and then he didn't allow TFA to screen for precursors in order to protect mystery box. No precursor love, no nomination.

I'm sure Mark will be incredible but Disney isn't big on campaigning blockbusters for awards. Fingers crossed he at least pulls a Sly.

 

I understood like he was talking about more than one person
"There are people who I will be disappointed if they don’t get nominated, because I think the work they did was really exemplary.” http://ew.com/article/2016/01/09/harrison-ford-oscar-nomination/

 

and the Oscar for best supporting hacktor goes to....

 

You are right. It still stands that he sabotaged everyone's chance when TFA wasn't screened for precursors. It's a miracle that it snagged Best Editing even though editing was clunky (Finn hearing screams from Maz Castle patrons before they happened, nuff said) .

 

It was nominated because the rest of the film was very well edited. One minor moment that confused a handful of fans on a forum doesn't negate that.

 

No disrespect you or Mark. I don't need to hear it from either director about how about dramatic/powerful Luke will be. What the directors say and what will be, might be two different things. I have some faith that Mark wasn't brought back simply to be a tease for the entire trilogy.

Hype and praise especially from Hollywood directors and publicity machines means very little to me until I see the final product. I trust in Mark that Luke will have some great moments going forward.

 

Rian is known to be a Mark/Luke fan, so hearing some good words from a known Han/Harrison fan like JJ is not so bad.

 

I think JJ or Rian will not act like a usual SW fan. They are professional, if they want to say how much they liked about X and Y actor they will said. Rian could be a C3PO big fan, it don't mean that he will be like "damn, I don't want to say it but this Leia's scene was great..." he is an adult lol

 

I didn't know anything about TFA until I saw it

 

Yes. He's an Executive Producer on the thing. He'll see any cut shown to the "suits." As I understand it, he is still involved with LFL-level decisions.

 

Well, you are assuming that's what he heard. I still don't think so....

 

I'm part of the elite Luke fanboy union.

 

I doubt the lack of screeners had much if anything to do with it, there is very little chance of anyone getting an acting nomination in a Star Wars film no matter how good the performance is. It may have hurt it in the Best Picture nomination, but genre bias is a thing and no one in TFA was ever going to be nominated for an acting award no matter when it was released.

I'll happily eat my words if this time next year we're talking about Academy Award Nominee Mark Hamill, but I very much doubt it.

 

From what we see under the hat, it seems that his hair is closer to his normal color. I was thinking they's strip the dye out, because otherwise he'd have to wear a wig, lol

 

Eh, whatever. For me, it all comes down what is done with the character. I am hopeful good things will be done this time around with Luke and others. If that leads to a much deserved award for Mark, great. If not, he will always be golden in my mind.

 

he'll only stay golden if he defeats an army of thousands all alone.

 

I didn't think TFA was Oscar-worthy in any category. TLJ would have to feature some major shifts in tone and style to convince me that it's worthy of such accolades.

 

Yes, I think JJ is just saying Mark will be fantastic (something I'm sure he will be)
