You would not find a lawyer to take such a clearly unfounded case.

Interesting, but I ask you this:
If a new movie is released starring Gene Hackman and Jenifer Lawrence. You and 100's of thousands of others purchased a ticket, sat down and watched the movie and Jenifer Lawrence wasn't in the movie until the very last 15 seconds without speaking. Honestly, would you feel ripped off?
That is exactly what has happened here with Hamill and Star Wars.
I don't think there is any legal precedent for the requirement of time duration in a film to qualify the term "starring" however, common sense dictates that a starring role in a film requires the utmost minimum of being visibly seen in the film for at least 1 minute? (I would think much longer)
I think it would make an interesting and very substantial lawsuit. I think a rebate is in order to the mass public that purchased tickets. 1/3 rebate in my opinion.
When a film is bringing in $228,000,000 in 3 days on false advertising, Disney must be held accountable.
