Mark Hamill has been part of one of the most beloved trilogies in movie history, but he had a chance to be a part of another trilogy … and immediately said hard pass.
The Star Wars legend revealed he was once offered a role in the infamous horror sequel The Human Centipede 2.
But luckily, his Jedi wisdom told him to turn it down. He said, “That was an easy one. I said, ‘No, don’t send the script.’ The premise alone… I’ll never see one, and I really resent the fact that some human being thought of that concept of sewing people together, mouth to anus. Goodbye, and never enter my life again.’”
And honestly? Fair.
Even fans who love horror movies often admit The Human Centipede series is more about gross-out factor than storytelling.
For someone like Hamill, who has spent decades cementing his reputation as one of pop culture’s most beloved actors, the idea of joining a franchise built around body horror was a no-go from the start.
That doesn’t mean he avoids intense films altogether. His new movie, The Long Walk, is dark and heavy, but Hamill clarified that he just doesn’t have much love for gore-fests. “I get the appeal of ‘Friday the 13th’ and all those horror, slasher, gore movies, but they’re just not for me,” he said.
Fans online have been quick to side with him, joking that Luke Skywalker dodged an even greater dark side than Darth Vader. After all, the internet never forgets, and nobody wants their IMDb page forever tied to a movie about people sewn together in a line.
