![]() The quality of Disney's Deepfakes has gone up considerably since The Mandalorian season two finale, possibly due to the special effects studio hiring one of the artists that outclassed Lucasfilm's experts. Hamill may be one of the most prolific and iconic voice actors out there, yet his Book of Boba Fett appearance, just like his Mandalorian cameo, only features his likeness. However, with Luke Skywalker, Ahsoka Tano, and Cad Bane all making cameo appearances, it’s easy to let that slip by.ĭespite Hamill continuing to work or collaborate on Star Wars projects, many fans will be surprised to find out that the voice used in The Book of Boba Fett is actually not any new dialogue recorded by the actor, but rather the product of some very cutting-edge voice processing tech. ![]() The “From the Desert Comes a Stranger" episode is yet another instance where Boba Fett was mostly absent from his own series. Reading out Hamilton's list of favorite moments is proof enough of the sheer fun the actors had on The Book of Boba Fett set, naming Rosario Dawson, Hamill, and the entire show’s crew as part of that, but without leaving out his pal Grogu. The moment made Hamilton reminisce his days as a 5-year-old kid watching Star Wars, and he also thanked episode director Dave Filoni and show creator Jon Favreau for the opportunity of a lifetime. "Co-creating #LukeSkywalker for with master was one of the most magical and fulfilling creative experiences of my life," he wrote. Hamilton expressed his feelings in a long Instagram post from his personal account, where he described his experience co-creating this rejuvenated version of Hamill alongside the actor. RELATED: Predicting The Book Of Boba Fett's Finale While Lloyd-Jones did play Lieutenant Reed in The Book of Boba Fett, Hamilton's face remains unseen, though that won’t stop him from sharing his excitement over becoming a part of the franchise. That is because ever since Luke Skywalker came back for his special cameo in The Mandalorian season 2 finale, Hamill hasn’t been playing the Jedi legend, who was instead first portrayed by Max Lloyd-Jones in that instance and now by Graham Hamilton. ![]() The Book of Boba Fett may be struggling to honor its namesake character, but the show is still packing plenty of Star Warshype, including a very special appearance from one Luke Skywalker that has the actor playing him swooning over the opportunity to step into Mark Hamill's iconic role. The use of such speech technology also holds ethical concerns if The Mandalorian did try bringing back a young Princess Leia the same way considering Carrie Fisher passed away in 2016, which would put the show at the same criticisms as the Anthony Bourdain Roadrunner documentary controversy.The following article contains spoilers for The Book of Boba Fett. Similarly, Carrie Fisher’s voice in the Star Wars sequels was jarringly different from that in ROTJ, meaning they likely would have used the same technology if she were in Hamill’s place. Although, a symptom of his long career in voice acting was that the physical demands of typically portraying villains altered his speech, making his voice permanently hold a deeper, more gravelly intonation that no longer aligns with the sound of young Luke Skywalker. Dave Filoni explained in simpler terms that the computer sampled sounds and tones from young Hamill and created a sound performance that mirrors Luke Skywalker.Īt the same time, not using Hamill’s real speech was surprising considering he actually is an accomplished voice actor, having largely taken on voice acting over live-action roles in the time since ROTJ. In a segment on Disney's Gallery: The Mandalorian’s episode on the season 2 finale, supervising sound editor Matthew Wood explained that Luke’s young voice was created by feeding old sound footage from the original Star Wars trilogy, Hamill’s book on tape from that era, and a Star Wars radio show from that time, and splicing them together for the software’s neural network to learn the data and reinterpret The Mandalorian lines. ![]() Instead of Hamill recording the lines, The Mandalorian completely synthesized his speech using software called Respeecher.
