Harrison Ford got 34 million for VII , what will Hamill get for VIII?


Ok Harrison Ford is still a big star, but will Hamill get anything close to Harrison Ford 34 million for episode VIII?

Honestly, he'll be lucky to get 10 mil. He's not on the A or B list of Celebs, but he's probably A list as a voice actor, so that should net him something.

I don't think voice acting is respected enough for anyone in that industry to be considered A-list. You could be the star of the most successful animated movie of the year and if you don't also have a notable live-action career, you don't get any recognition for it. Think of Aladdin. It was a hit, but it was Robin Williams everyone talked about. Who ever gave Scott Weinger the time of day? He remained DJ's boyfriend on Full House and that was it for him.

What I was saying, he is probably an A List actor in the voice acting world. In film/TV he's probably on the C list at best, but because of his accolades and his most notable work as the Joker, it help put a small light back on him. Where as Carrie Fisher was hot, post Star Wars as a script doctor, but she stopped about a decade ago and she's probably even lower on the scale compared to Mark.

Also it's because of his voice over work, he had a resurgence out of obscurity.

but they need Luke... and he is Luke... u can't cast someone else as Luke... they need him... which means he has power.

He's not an A lister in Hollywood, but he's still iconic in the Star Wars world so he'll get a very nice check I'm sure

agreed....Mark has leverage for sure

He could probably command that much simply because they need him. But I doubt that will be what they offer him, I would guess a figure more like 5-10 mil
