JJ Abrams said this week he would love to see a gay character in the hit franchise. But maybe we won't have to watch Boyega make out with somebody.
Mark Hamill has revealed his character could be gay. He says the Jedi Master’s sexuality was unspecified and wants it left to viewers to decide.
>“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 ask all these questions, ‘I’m bullied in school… I’m afraid to come out’. They say to me, ‘Could Luke be gay?’ I’d say it is meant to be interpreted by the viewer.
>“If you think Luke is gay, of course he is. You should not be ashamed of it. Judge Luke by his character, not by who he loves.”
