10 Star Wars Scenes Actors HATED Shooting

Though you'd be hard pressed to find just about any actor who wouldn't do everything in their power to seize the chance to star in a film or TV project going down in a galaxy far, far away today, that still doesn't mean that buckling up for a space opera adventure is all one big walk in the park from the minute you sign on the dotted line.

After all, since the very inception of George Lucas' sprawling universe way back in the '70s, actors have been required to put themselves thoroughly through the wringer in order to breathe life into beings and worlds entirely unlike our own; be that by storming around a set in uncomfortable and restricting costumes you wouldn't be in a rush to fling on during your day off or playing with scripts and dialogue you don't entirely agree with.

All in all, though the positives usually outweigh the negatives in the long run when it comes to being part of this much loved Star Wars world, that didn't stop the following actors from wishing certain scenes didn't play out the way they ultimately did either on the day of shooting or on the big screen later down the road.

In terms of an actor having a supreme understanding of who the character they're playing on the big screen actually is and what they would genuinely do in just about any given situation, Mark Hamill likely ranks as one of the more outspoken and understandably opinionated thespians you're ever likely to meet.

It's only natural for the actor to feel a particularly strong connection with the iconic face of Luke Skywalker and this has led to a number of occurrences when Mark has gone out of his way to openly disagree with something Luke was made to do throughout the Star Wars films.

Agreeing with those fans who felt his hacking off of a wampa's arm at the start of The Empire Strikes Back was a little bit extreme, Hamill took to Twitter a few years back and noted how he was "assured" his lightsaber swing towards the camera would merely lead to the monster's fur being singed and ultimately scared off. He'd continue by revealing he was "Horrified to later see amputation & unnecessary cruelty" and "Luke would never do this!".

Hamill clearly let his feelings be known on the day of shooting that he didn't want to be responsible for a piece of wampa cruelty, but that didn't stop the filmmakers from going against his wishes in the end.

When filming scene I was assured my lightsaber swipe toward camera (creature not on set) would simply singe fur 2 scare him off-Horrified to later see amputation & unnecessary cruelty-Wampa was HUNGRY (not EVIL)-Luke would never do this! #StillAngry2017 https://t.co/QhIkOILZmw
