SlowbieOne Posted December 7, 2001 Share Posted December 7, 2001 First of all look at this VERY interesting piece of info I just received. http://www.gaminggroove.com/article.cfm?articleid=3 That's right, Mark Hamill doing a voice for Ravens' other baby, Soldier of Fortune 2. I don't know if they confirmed Mark wouldn't do the voice of Luke in JK2, but if so there's something wrong with this picture. In fact, now I find it hard to believe he won't be doing Luke. If he's not, what could be the reason? Is he ashamed to be recognized as Luke SKywalker? Please say it ain't so Mark! Some will say it's just a game, and it won't even matter. But there are those of us who grew up admiring Mark and his portrayal. It would really make a huge difference to fans like me, and I believe there are many who would agree. I would like to try and get as many people willing as possible to try and convince Raven and LA to do everything in thier power to try and get Mark for JK2. This game will be huge...but it will be twice as grand to have a major part of Star Wars contributing. Please, be honest and if you won't reply, at least vote, thank you.

Wacky_Baccy Posted December 7, 2001 Share Posted December 7, 2001 I think it would add a considerable amount of authenticiy if LEC get Mark to reprise his role as Luke, (albeit only 'in the voice') and I would be rather disappointed if LEC didn't ask him, or if he turned it down, especially after hearing that his vocal talents are to be used in SOF2. It just won't be the same, no matter how many times I end up playing the game, if his voice has been done by, as I see it, an imposter. Come on LEC and Mark - you can do it!

Morpheus4873 Posted December 7, 2001 Share Posted December 7, 2001 They god him to do SOF2 but not JK2 ? WTF ? Thats all I have to say. Words can't describe it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Lunatic Posted December 7, 2001 Share Posted December 7, 2001 He's done so many other PC games, this role as Luke Skywalker would be perfect for him !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acdcfanbill Posted December 7, 2001 Share Posted December 7, 2001 maybe he is tired of the roll, i know actors can get tired of certian rolls, maybe he figgured that he is done with the charcter of luke, or maybe he is just being a jerk:confused: only mark (and maybe lec knows) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sarcastic Saint Posted December 7, 2001 Share Posted December 7, 2001 Still it's strange....i assume that both games use the same sound recording studios....so if they would ask hime to say a few lines as Luke...so what....what's the big deal. So he says 4 to 10 lines and they pay him $20.000 and all because his voice is (naturally) the only voice that sounds like....thats right Luke. How frustrating.

StormHammer Posted December 7, 2001 Share Posted December 7, 2001 Mark Hamill is a great actor, and it would be fantastic if he could reprise his role as Luke in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GonkH8er Posted December 7, 2001 Share Posted December 7, 2001 I'm 99.99% sure he's not doing the voice in jk2....... not that it would bother me too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanpilou Posted December 7, 2001 Share Posted December 7, 2001 Well u should know that now Mark Hammil is now 20 years older since the movies have been made so i wonder how he'll be able to sound like Luke.................. n e way, that would still be kewl if he'd do the voice of luke... --------------------------------------------------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His voice is closer to Luke's than anyone else on the planet. He is a great voice actor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUNNER Posted December 7, 2001 Share Posted December 7, 2001 He was in the cut sences of Wing commander 4 if I remember right, right? So why not do this too. I think it would be cool.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_FinnSon Posted December 7, 2001 Share Posted December 7, 2001 If my memory serves me correct, LEC have never used Mark, when they needed someone to do voiceover for Luke; some of those imitators have come pretty close, but Mark is still the one and only Luke Skywalker. Of course it's kinda weird, because he has done voiceover to numerous animated series/movies, games and radio shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bsbuckeye21 Posted December 7, 2001 Share Posted December 7, 2001 LOL, Qwup. And if this story is true... I don't know what to say! Either way, we deserve answers. (And no, a chat wouldn't work for that. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millions o' Monkeys Posted December 7, 2001 Share Posted December 7, 2001 no...we dont nescersaraly need answers. Chances are when the game comes out, it wont make a difference. Yes i can explain. When was the last time you heard him speak i rest my case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowbieOne Posted December 7, 2001 Author Share Posted December 7, 2001 Funny you should say that Millions o' Monkeys, I was watching the TECH channel on early Sunday morning a few weeks ago, and Mark hosted a special about computers or something...too early to remember. But..he sounded very much like good old Luke SKywalker. You do know that once a person hits a certain age and matures, their voice stays the same. Unless he was a senior citezen, which he is not. 140 views and only 30 votes? Come on people! It's not hard to hit that vote button. Everyone MUST have some kind of opinion on this, so please if we persist, we may be able to make something out of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormHammer Posted December 8, 2001 Share Posted December 8, 2001 Originally posted by Kwup you lost me there You don't star in plays like Amadeus and The Elephant Man if you can't act. You don't land lots of voice-acting if you can't convey a whole range of emotion through voice alone. That takes considerable skill...and acting ability. Besides, I also think he managed his role in the classic trilogy very well...from a green farm-boy to a powerful Jedi fighting an inner conflict. His acting certainly was not as wooden as many of those accomplished actors who starred in TPM. Overall, I think he did a great job with some of the material that was handed to him. Of course, that's just IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsbuckeye21 Posted December 8, 2001 Share Posted December 8, 2001 ManyMonkeys, I'm just saying that this story is near incomprehendable, and if it proves true then we pretty much deserve an answer. How would that hurt them? (And if they did hide something, then there could be whatever sort of problems on their side of things. Let's hope that's not it.)

xwing guy Posted December 8, 2001 Share Posted December 8, 2001 Mark Hammil was in WC 3,4, and Profecy and his voice still sounds the same so why he's not doing the voice acting in JK2 I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JR2000Z Posted December 9, 2001 Share Posted December 9, 2001 Who ever voiced Luke in XWA actually did pretty well so maybe LEC could use him. It still would have been better if Mark voiced Luke himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikkos Tyris Posted December 9, 2001 Share Posted December 9, 2001 To my knowledge, Mark won't be doing the Luke Skywalker voice even though I'm sure everyone feels he'sthe best man for the job, after all he is Luke Skywalker for Pete's Sake! But, there are good guys out there that can do his voice well, take for instance in the game Force Commander, Bob Bergan (The Luke Skywalker voice for that game) did a good job @ sounding like him. So for me, they could go either way, but to make others happy, we should put Mark Hamill there again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
