In the interview, Hamill was asked about a business alliance between Disney with OpenAI, opening the door for fan-generated AI scenes using Star Wars characters and locales.
'It’s fascinating to see it develop, and I’m also apprehensive about how it will be used,' said Hamill.
The actor, who became a household name playing the the role of Jedi savior Skywalker in films such as 1977's Star Wars, 1980's The Empire Strikes Back and 1983's Return of the Jedi, said he was taken aback by the way AI is being integrated into show business.
'The story of the AI-generated actress that got signed by a major agency is mind-boggling,' Hamill said. 'Is she going to stay 33, or whatever her age is, forever?'
'It’s obviously hard to predict the future, but I guess I’m gonna have to talk to my family about if they want me to be in a Star Wars movie 30 years from now after I’m gone,' he said.
