Weesa thinkin yousa dumb-dumb Luke! It turns out that Luke Skywalker himself Mark Hamill actually PREFERS Jar Jar to Jabba and therefore Gungans to Hutts. The shocking opinion was discovered during a mini Q&A via his Twitter account; where Hamill jokingly admitted he hasn’t forgiven the notorious space gangster Jabba for feeding him to the Rancor in 1983’s Return of the Jedi.
Being one of the most hated characters from the most hated film in the franchise – 1999’s The Phantom Menace, the character was largely criticised by those who felt he was only included to make the film more appealing for children, (also because in Attack of the Clones he basically handed over all power to the Supreme Chancellor who was actually Emperor Palpatine).
During the Q&A, the iconic Jedi also revealed his favourite line throughout his run as the Joker during 1992’s Batman: The Animated Series, which he admitted was a hard choice. See his Twitter responses below and if you haven’t already, catch Hamill in Star Wars: The Force Awakens in cinemas now.
That's an easy call: Jar Jar. (Hard to forgive Jabba for attempting to turn me into Rancor Chow.) #RudeDude https://t.co/POuFXDPOlV

Too many to choose just one, but "Without Batman crime has no punchline!" was fun & character-defining all at once. https://t.co/ez0Vu7EZjW
