Few topics in modern Star Wars spark debate quite like Luke Skywalker’s fate in The Last Jedi. But while fans have argued about it for years, the man who is Luke Skywalker has been remarkably consistent about one thing: Mark Hamill is at peace with how it ended. In a past interview with CBS This Morning, Hamill explained that not only did he accept Luke’s death—he felt it was the right moment to step away from the franchise. And in classic Hamill fashion, he framed it with grace rather than controversy. “You Want to Dignify a Good Exit” Hamill’s words were simple, thoughtful, and very on-brand for someone who’s spent decades navigating pop-culture immortality. “In fact, not only did I think that was the right time to leave that franchise, I thought that’s a nice exit. Because as much as you enjoy a good entrance, you want to dignify a…

Mark Hamill Reveals His Favorite Star Wars Quote — And It’s Not What You’d Expect
After more than four decades in a galaxy far, far away, Mark Hamill has delivered countless iconic lines as Luke Skywalker. But when asked to name his favorite Star Wars quote of all time, Hamill didn’t choose something heroic, philosophical, or Force-related. Instead, he picked a line that quietly runs through almost every Star Wars film. “My favorite from the space movies was, ‘I have a very bad feeling about this.’And they gave it to a character in every movie—somebody else said it!” It’s a choice that says a lot about Star Wars — and about Hamill’s affection for the saga’s shared traditions. A Line That Became a Tradition “I have a very bad feeling about this” isn’t tied to one character, one trilogy, or even one era. It’s a recurring phrase that has appeared across the original trilogy, the prequels, the sequels, animated series, and beyond. Sometimes it’s delivered…

A rumor is sweeping across social media faster than a cucco on caffeine: Mark Hamill is reportedly playing the King of Hyrule in the upcoming The Legend of Zelda live-action movie.It’s the kind of casting news that instantly sounds right. Hamill has the voice, the gravitas, the geek-culture royalty status, and the energy to rule Hyrule with authority (and probably a few well-timed dad jokes).

The Last Jedi Skipped Mark Hamill’s Tragic Luke Skywalker Backstory — And It’s Heartbreaking
Long before The Last Jedi hit theaters, Mark Hamill had crafted a deeply personal—and profoundly dark—backstory for Luke Skywalker. One that never made it to screen. While Rian Johnson’s version of Luke shows a disillusioned Jedi Master in exile, Hamill imagined a man crushed by personal tragedy, not just failure. This alternate backstory was so emotionally heavy that it would have changed everything we knew about Luke’s motivation in the sequel trilogy. A Devastating Family Story That Was Never Canon During an interview on NPR’s Bullseye with Jesse Thorn, Hamill revealed that he created a psychological framework to understand why Luke would abandon the Jedi and retreat to Ahch-To. His reasoning? Love, grief, and unimaginable loss. “I thought, what could make someone give up a devotion to what is basically a religious entity, to give up being a Jedi? Well, the love of a woman.”— Mark Hamill via Nerdist In…

Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher Back for ‘Star Wars’ via George Lucas
We brought you the rumor yesterday of Carrie Fisher returning to Star Wars and it seems today it was confirmed true by George Lucas. But of course, that’s not all! According to Lucas, the whole crew will be back together in the new films- Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher! The original stars of the series have previously hinted that they would be making a comeback but this is the first “official” word that it is true. Yahoo Movies reports: “”We had already signed Mark and Carrie and Harrison — or we were pretty much in final stages of negotiation. So I called them to say, ‘Look, this is what’s going on,’” Lucas told Bloomberg Businessweek when asked about whether he kept the actors in the loop about the Disney acquisition. So it looks like some of the stars had already signed on the dotted line before they even knew…
