Hamill once advised Schwarzenegger to lose his accent
"Arnold Schwarzenegger asked me for advice when he was just starting out,"
Actor Mark Hamill has apologised for criticising director Rian Johnsons portrayal of his character Luke Skywalker in “Star Wars: The Last Jedi“.
“I regret voicing my doubts and insecurities in public. Creative differences are a common element of any project but usually remain private,” Hamill tweeted on Tuesday, reports variety.com.
“All I wanted was to make a great movie. I got more than that – Rian Johnson made an all-time great one!”

Hamill commented in response to an interview where he said: “I’ve had trouble accepting what (Rian Johnson) saw for Luke but again, I mean, I have to say, having seen the movie I was wrong.”
“I think being pushed out of your comfort zone is a good thing because if I was just another benevolent Jedi training young padawans, we have seen it!”
The actor, who has played Skywalker since 1977, has made a number of similar comments criticising Johnson and his character’s portrayal throughout the film’s press tour.
