'Star Wars' Star Mark Hamill: Luke Skywalker Could Be Gay
Last week we learned Star Wars director J.J. Abrams is planning on including queer characters in the franchise's future. It makes sense, considering 2015's Star Wars: The Force Awakens was, you know, one of the most successful movies of all time and featured minority a woman and an African-American man as the leads.
Apparently Abrams isn't the only one embracing progress. Actor Mark Hamill, aka generation-defining hero Luke Skywalker, leaves his character's sexuality open-ended. He told the Sun:
"I just read online that JJ is very much open to that. In the old days, you would get fan mail. But now fans are writing and asking all these questions: 'I'm bullied in school... I'm afraid to come out.'"
