Mark Hamill's biggest regret is missing the chance to work with Harrison Ford in the Star Wars sequel trilogy

When asked which actor he most wanted to work with during a recent instalment in The Hollywood Reporter's Roundtables series - which also featured Adam Sandler, Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, Jacob Elordi, Michael B. Jordan and Jeremy Allen White - Hamill said: "Well, in the sequel trilogy, Harrison Ford.

"Cause I only had two cameos, and the middle one we never ... Aren't we gonna have a moment where all three of us [including Carrie Fisher's Princess Leia] get together and raise the roof? It'll only take 30 seconds."

The Long Walk actor added he had spoken with The Force Awakens director J.J. Abrams about Luke Skywalker crossing paths with Han Solo, but his plea seemingly fell on deaf ears.

Hamill continued: "And J.J. said, 'Well, Mark, it's not Luke's story anymore,' and I said, 'Star Wars wasn't Obi-Wan's story, but Alec Guinness had a crucial ... You know. Anyway, nobody listens to me."

Both Hamill and Ford would once again appear in 2019's Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker, though an on-screen reunion between the pair still did not happen.

Hamill has long voiced his grievances about the characterisation of Luke Skywalker in the sequel trilogy, particularly in 2017's Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi, and revealed he had shared his concerns with director Rian Johnson before agreeing to play the Jedi master as he was written in the script.

During an appearance on the Bullseye with Jesse Thorn podcast, he said: "I told him [Johnson] this - despite the fact that I disagree with your choices for Luke, I'm going to do everything within my power to make your screenplay work as best as I can.

"And the only thing unfortunate about that is, I've heard comments from fans who think that I somehow dislike Rian Johnson, and nothing could be further from the truth."

Despite his feelings about how the blockbuster handled Luke Skywalker, Hamill had nothing but praise for the Knives Out filmmaker, and called The Last Jedi "a great movie".
