| Mark Hamill Talks
Episode VII |
Entertainment Tonight spoke with Mark Hamill about his new
movie Sushi Girl as it hits DVD and Blu-ray this week, and while talking about
the project, the Star Wars legend was more than happy to provide ETonline with
an update on his involvement with the in-development Star Wars VII – and what he
thinks of those planned spinoff movies…
First off, will he appear in Star Wars VII? "They're talking to us," he
reveals. "George [Lucas] wanted to know whether we'd be interested. He did say
that if we didn't want to do it, they wouldn't cast another actor in our parts –
they would write us out. … I can tell you right away that we haven't signed any
contracts. We're in the stage where they want us to go in and meet with Michael
Arndt, who is the writer, and Kathleen Kennedy, who is going to run Lucasfilm.
Both have had meetings set that were postponed -- on their end, not mine.
They're more busy than I am." Be sure to read the entire article.
