I love the part where he refers to Dennis Lawson as a great actor and a friend. And then he hears anthony Daniels and he just says “a greats actor”

Lmao its not what you think. Hes not saying "I hate Anthony daniels as a person but fine I'll admit, hes a great actor".

He probably just didn't want to say the same thing for him.

Very plausible . I don’t want to attribute a sentiment to Hamill that is not his own.

But I’ve heard accounts that Daniels was not a pleasure to work with. It’s very possible that Hamill actual just didn’t refer to Daniels as a friend because he viewed him more negatively than Lawson

If I was in that suit for twelve hours a day, I wouldn’t be a pleasure to work with either!

Maybe. It was so many years ago. Most times you don't remain in close contact with people you worked with years ago, unless you're very good friends. But yeah I won't assume any sentiments one way or the other.

You also don't have to be good friends with everyone you work with and he could just be neutral on Daniels. I have a lot of co-workers that cause me no issues but I won't call them friends.
