“This was the most physically taxing of all the film because of the lightsaber duels. Everytime I wasn’t shooting, I was rehearsing. Something that took weeks and weeks to shoot, even though it only lasts a few minutes on film. So it taxed me to the limit.”

I actually have an explanation for that! In January of 1977, Mark Hamill got into a pretty bad car accident. It wasn’t widely publicized because it was after they filmed A New Hope but before it came out, so no one knew who he was. He messed up his nose and cheek pretty badly, to the point where he had to have cartilage taken from his ear to reconstruct parts of his nose and cheek. It’s also rumored to be why Lucas wrote in Luke getting mauled by a wampa in the beginning of Empire Strikes Back, to make an excuse as to why he looked different.

I’m watching old Mark Hamill interviews and I don’t know what I expected but he is, and always has been, utterly ridiculous
Knowing that Mark Hamill supports gay and trans Luke Skywalker is all I needed in my life goodbye I’m ascending to heaven
mark hamill is so precious and pure,, what did we do to deserve him,,, what did we do to receive such a gift,,,,,
look idk what we did to deserve the pure angel that is mark hamill but im glad we did it
I absolutely love how interactive with their fans and unproblematic and genuinely lovely Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill are like we don’t deserve them tbh what did we do to be blessed like this
