ProtocolJedi Posted June 4, 2002 Share Posted June 4, 2002 First...let me make sure the coast is clear. *Looks around for MRJ. Not a soul to the left or right of me, for as far as the eye can see.* Ok, now a quick disclaimer: I've tried the search function, but it's been disabled. Again, I wanted to go through all legal channels before I proceded, but that option wasn't available. Does anyone know why Mark Hamill turned down providing the voice of Luke Skywalker for JK2:JO? I mean he's an accomplished voice actor and an avid radio drama fan, wouldn't this be a natural continuation for him? Bob Somethingorother has been the voice of Luke for all video game incarnations...and I'm wondering: Would the game public all of a sudden become panic stricken if out of nowhere Mark Hamill jumped in to replace Bobbi-O? (BTW, I'm deeply sorry for addressing this man as Bobbi-O, Bobkins, or Bob-Bob-Bob-Bob-Bob-a-ran ) Billy Dee Billiams starred as Lando, they even got Dennis Lawson to return as Wedge...but no Mark Hamill? Me thinks a conspiracy is afoot. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boba Rhett Posted June 4, 2002 Share Posted June 4, 2002 Give it a rest, Darth Ball. The reason he didn't do Lukes' voice was because of scheduling conflicts. At least that's what I've heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Dom_Pmd] Posted June 4, 2002 Share Posted June 4, 2002 Tru dat!!! He did voice over for SoF2... It was on Sept 11th too eh, he was at Raven doing voice over for some other title not released yet and was basically stuck there cause all the flights were cancelled. The other talent didn't show, so he ended up doing voice for SoF2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
striderx2048 Posted June 4, 2002 Share Posted June 4, 2002 it doesnt mean if that they couldnt go back to redo the luke voice, i.e like what they did in Elite force, they went back to use jerri ryans voice for fore 7of9 in a future patch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Sokar Posted June 4, 2002 Share Posted June 4, 2002 So, what was wrong with the guy who did do Luke's voice? I was quite surprised that it wasn't Hamill that did the voice, the guy was damn near dead on. I can live with it (seeing how I've played the SP twice and I'm done now). Aren't we all?

ProtocolJedi Posted June 4, 2002 Author Share Posted June 4, 2002 RamataKhan...you're wrong, I care. You know, I really didn't expect any replies to this thread. Have to say I'm a bit shocked that people took the time out from arguing a pro/con stance on the patch to even notice. And Ball, thanks man...really. I wrote nothing of offense, and you decide to berate me because you want to be the gloomy, dark ass who took it upon himself to be the voice of cynical commentary. Anyway, Luke Skywalker has always been my favorite character of the Star Wars Trilogy. It was Luke's story alone that I returned to see the following sequels. I'm relieved to hear it was scheduling conflicts, because I would have been somewhat displeased if it were due to being burnt out on portraying Luke in any medium. Maybe one day Hamill will return to the role that made him famous, perhaps...Galaxies? Jedi Knight 3? The Force is strong with young Skywalker.

Russk Rijann Posted June 4, 2002 Share Posted June 4, 2002 maybe its due to the fact that Star Wars typecasted Hammil as Luke Skywalker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vestril Posted June 4, 2002 Share Posted June 4, 2002 I can't get over the fact that Dennis Lawson came back for Wedge!! I didn't even notice!! I'm going to have to go back to those levels, just to see!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I feel that Mark Hamill should come in and do his voice. It would be so cool. God why does Raven keep brushing this game off?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lime-Light Posted June 4, 2002 Share Posted June 4, 2002 wtf? Give specific evidence of Raven ignoring this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Wac Posted June 5, 2002 Share Posted June 5, 2002 Saw a show on Biography about Mark Hamill... he is an amazing actor, voice over, broadway showman.... any idea how Lucas is going to continue Luke's character in episodes 7-9 without Hamill... mebbe do all the old actors from 4-6 as CG, they are gettin pretty good at it.. I particularly like Dextor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vestril Posted June 5, 2002 Share Posted June 5, 2002 Lucas isn't doing 7, 8, or 9--he said very specifically that he didn't want to spend the last years of his life doing Star Wars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elegy Posted June 5, 2002 Share Posted June 5, 2002 You're all forgetting about an old game called Wing Commander. Can't quite remember which one, but I had it on my old 3DO console. Mark Hamill played the role of the main character and was filmed for all the scenes where you walk about the ship and interact with all the crewmen. Too bad he couldn't play the voice of Luke in this game but eh, I'm not tripping over it because it's just a game. I <i>thought</i> that the voice of Lando sounded awfully alot like the actor in the movie, it's cool to know that little suspicion was correct. I'd forgot to check the credits when I beat the game and completely forgot about it up until now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
