Mark Hamill on why Luke'sEmpire Strikes Backscream 'makes no sense'

Forget about whether Han shot first.

Go ahead and see for yourself.

But what does the person who had the scream added to his scene think about it?

What did he make of the egregious change when it was first put in?

I had no idea of this, says Hamill about when the scream was put in back in 1997.

My son watches them.

I havent seen this since they were in the theaters.

He said, Dad, you know they put a scream where you let go?

He commits suicide, in effect.

So to put a scream in?

Hamill also confirms that it is indeed not his voice coming out of his mouth during the drop.

I didnt record it.

I dont know if they had a library of screams or another actor came in.

Suffice it to say, Hamill was not a fan of the audible addition.

And I guess he got enough negative feedback that he took it out.

But it makes no sense.

Irvin Kershner and I discussed it.

That was the director, and he says, You have that choice.

Hes holding out his hand.

Hes going to rescue you, but you make that choice.

You know, its one of those things.

I can argue both ways because its Georges property.

Its his to tinker with as sees fit.

But like my son and a lot of fans says, wed love to see the original, pre-fixes.

Just the way it was in 1977.
