Part 3/7:
Amidst this media whirlwind, actor William Shatner, best known for his role as Captain James T. Kirk in Star Trek, offered his thoughts. He humorously commented that the disappointment of some Star Wars fans regarding the direction of the franchise was misplaced, suggesting instead that Mark Hamill's revelation about Luke's sexuality contributed to their frustrations. His jovial quip was that while fans blamed Disney for ruining the franchise, they should place some blame on Hamill himself for suggesting an interpretation of the character that differs from their traditional view.
