Licensing Mark Hamill's voice from the Force Awakens for call outs will be prohibitively expensive.

Quoted from Rarehero:Says who? He does voiceover for a living...and even takes small roles in movies like Kingsman. He's a working actor, he's not unobtanium.
This was a joke: Hamill does great voice work, but has no dialogue at all in the Force Awakens.
Quoted from nate1981s:Disney ignores their target audience (white males). Also lets ignore the fact that natural human tendency is to prefer what we most resemble.
1. Disney ignores no audience, it targets with surgical precision;
2. Disney's typical target audience is children, particularly aspiring princesses;
3. Natural human tendency- yours and mine-is to over generalize. The beauty of the human condition is how many weird, wonderful preferences people exhibit. If you prefer a whiny male Caucasian lead because of a closer resemblance, fine. I'd rather watch a strong female lead. Just like I'd rather watch women's Olympic beach volleyball than an NBA game.
Don't like the direction of the franchise? Vote with your dollars.
