There's only roughly a month from now until the release of J.J. Abrams' Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. And while fans are excited to witness how the Skywalker Saga ends and are already buying tickets to watch the upcoming movie, Luke Skywalker actor Mark Hamill might have a different suggestion.
Brent Ashcroft, a local Michigan reporter and Star Wars fan, took to Twitter to share that he has bought 32 tickets to The Rise of Skywalker premiere. Along with the photo of tickets is a caption saying that he hopes buying those tickets would be worth it. The fan went ahead and tagged Hamill in his tweet.
To his surprise, the actor actually responded, but it isn't what a fan would expect. Hamill seems to be suggesting that the fan shouldn't have bought that many tickets and he could have just waited to watch the movie on cable. You can check out the tweet below.
This could be shocking to some fans since the Star Wars alum is literally considered as an icon of the film but is urging fans to not spend money on buying tickets. As to what Hamill really meant with his tweet, it seems like he's just joking around, or maybe there's an underlying meaning here.
UPDATE: Although we know Hamill for his spot-on jokes, the actor still points out that his response was, indeed, only a joke. According to him, "No self-respecting Star Wars fan" would wait for the movie on cable. You can check out his tweet below!
Of course, we know you're joking, Mark!
However, it is worth noting that prior to its debut, the movie is already divisive amongst the fans. But there's no telling on how the people would actually take in all the stuff that's going to happen in the upcoming movie.
