That is pretty interesting. I grew up with the Star Wars films, so I just took it all for granted, but I recently saw some behind-the-scenes footage of Hamill training for "Empire" and he was really putting his all into it. He struck me as a very hard worker. I'm sure it was all worth it since he likely never had to work again after "Jedi." His work as the Joker on Batman has always been fantastic, and it was a damn shame he retired from the role.
It would have been interesting to see a Mark Hamill take on Joker in one of the Batman movies...to watch the physical acting with the voice acting.
The Heath Ledger Joker was astounding...I think it took something out of him however though they say it was an overdose of pain meds that got him. I could never watch the movie again...not because the movie was bad but because the malevolence that Ledger evoked thru the character was so reminiscent of the veil of malevolence that is hanging over our country. Like the message of the movie and the question asked...”will good people refuse to go along with evil when forced to the wall?”
I think of that when the courts have been overturning Gay marriage bans. This country is its people, and morally righteous folks need to stir up the Holy Spirit within them, as the Bible says, and act as if the courts have not overturned the bans. We have to ultimately do what is right in God’s eyes, not what Pharoah should decree!
