I remember Mark Hamill was in that Wing Commander game back in the 90s. Pretty sure that was his only gig after star wars. Poor guy

He's an extremely successful stage actor and voice actor and will probably be the highlight of this film acting wise (aside from John Boyega)

This. I don't give a gently caress about Star Wars and his performance in them wasn't anything special. Trying to reconcile that the white bread space Kansan is the Animated Series Joker is crazy.

Mark Hamill is one of the most prolific voice actors in the last 25 years.

I think Leperflesh already mentioned this, but here is a video of Lucas trolling his obnoxious neighbors.

A lot of the wealthy people in Marin are some of the worst humans to walk the planet so gently caress them.

He got his face torn up in a motorcycle accident, right? I guess when that happens you either go voice actor or Gary Busey.

he got in some kind of accident and thats why in the 3rd movie hes all makeuped up and looks kinda puffy instead of being an adorable twink like in the first

It was before Empire, the snow and wampa attack explain the change in his appearance.

He's especially ghoulish looking with the makeup in the Holiday Special since it was even closer to the accident.

That happened right after Star Wars actually. Check out the "Holiday special" for him being caked in makeup to hide his facial scars that hadnt even began to fade.

The only truly shameful thing that Hammil did since Jedi was that cameo in Jay and Silent Bob, but I can forgive that since he is the best Joker hands down.

Nah, Darth Revan's gonna have a Sun Crusher. It's OK though, Chewie's gonna stop it by crashing a moon into it.

Its weird that Hammill is a good actor now and Ford loving sucks and just depresses me on sight

yeah hamill was absolutely godawful in the first star wars movie. by the end of jedi he was actually pretty awesome.

a friend of mine said she was high throughout much of empire and i believe it, especially with the lando system scene on the ship

if you really want to see carrie fisher high as gently caress, watch the star wars holiday special.

there must be some kind of subliminal mindwipe during the end credits of ep 2 because i know ive seen it multiple times over the years and i dont remember a single goddamn thing, its kind of remarkable.

still better than ep 1 though

The coruscant chase scene in the beginning was pretty awesome, however nothing memorable happened after it.

The same reason Arrakis is in all the Dune books?

It's almost as if Lucas was "inspired" by the idea of a desert planet shithole being the center of a whole universe.

but Arrakis is the capitol of the space empire and the source of the super important drug spice that is required for space travel, whereas on tattooine they farm moisture.
