Hamill

In a galaxy far, far away from lightsabers and the Force, Mark Hamill recently bid farewell to another cinematic venture. The acclaimed Luke Skywalker actor just wrapped filming on Mike Flanagan’s upcoming film, The Life Of Chuck. This comes amid news of some of the other film's stars having wrapped on the highly anticipated Stephen King adaptation. Upon completing his own work, the Masters of the Universe: Revelation voice veteran took to social media to share the news and gave fans a glimpse into his celebratory…

A fond farewell, then, to all that. The swishy lightsabers; the bullseyeing of womp rats and conveniently located Death Star kill buttons; the parental epiphany-fuelled screams of anguish. Mark Hamill has announced he is (probably) retiring as Luke Skywalker.“I had my time, and that’s good. But that’s enough,” said Hamill during an interview with CBS Sunday Morning. “Well, you never say never. I just don’t see any reason to,” he added. “Let me put it that way: I mean, they have so many stories to tell, they don’t need…

This past Sunday, CBS Sunday Mornings aired an interview with Mark Hamill where he discussed Star Wars, among other things. Perhaps the funniest memory he shared was how Harrison Ford was extremely unhelpful during Hamill’s original audition for Luke Skywalker, though this might be…

So, he turned to his future Star Wars co-star, hoping for some direction, only to get some very unhelpful advice.  The star in…

Icon Mark Hamill voiced the Batman villain Joker on `Batman: The Animated Series`, which originally aired for 85 episodes from 1992-1995. Hamill earned acclaim for the voice role, but it would have never happened without Michael Keaton`s casting as `Batman` in Tim Burton`s 1989 comic book film, reports Variety. As Hamill recalled during a recent Wired video interview, Keaton`s casting as Bruce Wayne/Batman earned backlash from comic book fans, considering he was more known as a comedic actor in films such as `Mr. Mom`…

NO STAR WARS FOR MARK(Photo Credit: Bang Showbiz) Mark Hamill doesn’t expect to return to ‘Star Wars’. Although the 71-year-old actor’s alter-ego Luke Skywalker died in Rian Johnson’s 2017 movie ‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi’, he appeared as a Force ghost in J.J. Abrams’ 2019 movie ‘Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker’ but Mark doesn’t expect to appear in any upcoming sequels.

Image via Lucasfilm There’s a scene in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi that’s been bothering some people for years. It happens during the first third of the movie when Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) is on Tatooine fighting Jabba the Hutt’s forces to save his friends. He’s on a desert skiff and right after he retrieves his green lightsaber he kicks one of Jabba’s guards, or does he? Because his foot is a good distance away from the guard’s face and yet the latter falls back like he was actually hit. This started a…

Screengrab via YouTube / Legendary Pictures Cinemas are in for quite the roundup of debutants this weekend; beyond the obvious top biller in The Little Mermaid, moviegoers will also be greeted with new Robert De Niro movie About My Father, Gerard Butler’s second mediocre action film of 2023 in Kandahar, A24’s new Julia Louis-Dreyfus-led comedy-drama You Hurt My Feelings, and The Machine, which easily takes the cake as the box office’s biggest maverick this weekend. Loosely based on comedian Bert Kreischer’s…

Even dead, Luke Skywalker keeps finding his way back into Star Wars. It happened first in 2019's Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker when the deceased Jedi Master returned as a Force Ghost. In 2020, it happened again, this time as a younger, de-aged, CGI version on The Mandalorian. Finally, in 2022, Skywalker returned a third time, the most extensive yet, as that de-aged version on The Book of Boba Fett.‘I Started a Yoda Fan Club’“It is unusual to see yourself like that,” actor Mark Hamill told Esquire about seeing a younger…
