At the time, the other cast members of the new Star Wars flick were taping an appearance on "The Graham Norton Show," Hamill told The Independent newspaper. "Star Wars movies are meant to be a couple of hours of diversion from reality, and we need that," the newspaper quoted him as saying. "They are optimistic and hopeful stories." But, he said, such things are "very trivial," compared with bringing comfort to ailing kids. The hospital's staff thanked Hamill in a tweet: "Thanks so much for coming to visit our patients Mark - everyone absolutely loved it :)" As could be...

On “The Rubin Report” Thursday, BlazeTV host Dave Rubin reacted to "Star Wars" actor Mark Hamill's ridiculous post on Twitter after the Florida senate passed HB 1557, the Parental Rights in Education Bill. Democrats renamed the bill to the “Don't Say Gay” bill to mislead people, particularly those who don't bother to inform themselves before responding on social media, into thinking that the bill says something it doesn’t. Predictably, woefully woke lefties like Hamill fell right into their trap.

After Gov. Brian Kemp signed Georgia’s new voting legislation into law, some in Hollywood are calling for a boycott of the state’s bustling film and TV industry. "Star Wars" actor Mark Hamill and "Ford v Ferrari" director James Mangold were among the first to announce they plan to avoid working in the state until something is done about the new law, which some, including President Joe Biden, say restricts voting access and eligibility in the state, which leaned in favor of the Democrats on the ticket in the 2020 general election. The new law adds early voting access for most...

Star Wars star Mark Hamill on Monday touted his involvement in a Green Eggs and Ham-styled cartoon parodying conservatives who oppose wearing masks during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.

I Ask,” a video adaptation of a children’s book by writer Tom Ruegger, published in August of last year. The actor, who frequently riffs on politics from his social media accounts, linked the project to President Joe Biden’s mandate to wear a...

Vice President Mike Pence announced on December 19 that personnel in the Space Force branch of the U.S. Armed Forces will be officially called Guardians, which prompted some wisecracking from writer-director James Gunn. Since Space Force’s new “Guardians” title overlaps with Gunn’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” franchise, the filmmaker shot back at the vice president on social media, writing: “Can we sue this dork?” Flash forward to this week and “Star Wars” legend Mark Hamill got in on the Space Force skewering. Responding to Gunn, Hamill quipped, “So they grab the ‘Guardians’ from your movies, they use the ‘Force’ from...

In reality, the two are friends who have had some fun with each other on social media in the past. Two of the biggest sci-fi icons have finally come face-to-face. Mark Hamill and Patrick Stewart met for equal parts intense and silly moments in a new commercial for Uber Eats. The (socially distanced) spot opens with the Star Wars and Star Trek actors having an intense standoff over the pronunciation of "tomato," which leads Hamill to say, "Stewart, so it's come to this." To which Stewart replies, "Careful Hamill, daddy's not here to save you" (a solid Vader reference). An...

Star Wars actor Mark Hamill will headline a virtual fundraiser for presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden later this month, as his campaign steps up its efforts to build its war chest ahead of the presidential election. According to the event invitation, Hamill will moderate the “virtual conversation about hope and democracy.” Tickets for the event start at $500 per person and rise to a whopping $100,000 for those who want to be listed as co-chairs. All proceeds will go toward the Biden campaign, the Democratic National Committee (DNC), and state parties. Hamill, who is best known for playing the role...

Mark Hamill was awfully lucky to be cast in the 1970s as Luke Skywalker. He never really had great acting talent. He was not well-liked nor was he disliked. Why he was chosen is really about youthful boyish looks and low budget bookings, as well as his blond hair, and a tenor voice that could read lines with the right inflection. But there were many others that could do the same but the film industry was in the crap house and there weren't many choices on the meager budget for the first Starwars episode. Lucas was not established when...

(and I know just who should replace him....)" he wrote. Hamill shared a special relationship with Fisher, who played his long-lost twin...

[Mark] Hamill can't officially confirm or deny whether Luke died a virgin, it does bring the expanded Star Wars universe into question. Star Wars Legends of course introduced Luke's wife named Mara Jade, who is a fan favorite character from the Star Wars novels. Together they had one child named Ben Skywalker, although neither Mara Jade nor their son have been introduced in the movies thus far and Star Wars Legends was removed from canon following Disney's purchase of Lucasfilm.

No, the Force was not with him. Luke Sky Walker, 21, was arrested Thursday by police in Elizabethton, Tennessee, for a probation violation in connection with a felony theft charge. The jailbird namesake of the Jedi master was then taken into custody at the Probation and Parole Office before being taken to the Carter County Detention Center, WCMH reports. Even Mark Hamill — who played Luke Skywalker in the iconic “Star Wars” film series — commented that the arrest was a little out of this world. “The real crime here is Mr. & Mrs. Walker saddling this poor guy with...

You mean Mark Hamill didn’t like having his signature heroic character end up as a guy hiding out from the universe and dying alone? Go figure. With anger and scorn bubbling up from the fanbase over Star Wars: The Last Jedi, the first Jedi (so to speak) says he sympathizes with them while reminding them that it wasn’t his choice. However, it might be just desserts for his generation, Hamill says: 'IT WAS TOUGH ON ME': #MarkHamill says he strongly disagreed with the story arc for #LukeSkywalker in #StarWarsTheLastJedi, created by writer-director #RianJohnson. pic.twitter.com/iR1RrP9JSU— AP Entertainment (@APEntertainment) June 28,...

At 11:46 a.m. ET on Sunday's AM Joy, host Reid excitedly...

Odds are, the story has completely changed, but who knows for sure. Ah! Decades-old spoiler alert! Mark Hamill may have spilled the beans about his iconic Star Wars character years ago while doing an interview with the late film critic Gene Siskel around the time Return of the Jedi was released. In the unearthed interview, Hamill said George Lucas explained to him his layout for the prequels and also told Hamill to be ready, because he had plans for Skywalker many years down the road.

Mark Hamill has told The Sun that his Star Wars character, Luke Skywalker, could be gay.Hamill, who played the farmboy-turned-Jedi Knight in the three original Star Wars films and returned to the role in last year's The Force Awakens, said: 'Fans are writing and asking all these questions: "I’m bullied in school… I’m afraid to come out." They say to me: "Could Luke be gay?"''I’d say it is meant to be interpreted by the viewer. If you think Luke is gay, of course he is. You should not be ashamed of it. Judge Luke by his character, not by who...
