The acting career of Mark Hamill lasted more than five decades and is filled with memorable performances, such as expressing the Joker in the Batman franchise. No doubt, his most notable role is that of Luke Skywalker, which he comes from the mega-hit of George Lucas in 1977 Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope.
Hamill is now playing in the adaptation on the big screen of Stephen King The long walk, But while promoting his new project, he said The Hollywood Reporter the main reason why he returned to Star Wars Universe in the Disney +series, The Mandalorian. It turns out that the reason was quite simple.
“The reason I did Mandalorian Was that Luke had a start and an end, “started Hamill.” There was no environment. It was like making a trilogy on James Bond as a young boy who first learned of the secret services and wanted to be part of it. The second part was a training to become an agent. The third part wins his license to kill – the end. No Of Russia with love, Dr no, Or Goldfinger, ” He continued.
Hamill added: “You have never seen Luke as a Jedi Master at the top of his powers. He was the most idealistic character in this series. He was someone who would take adversity and double and return his setbacks. We have not seen anything from all this.”
In the original Star Wars Trilogy, Luke Skywalker Voyage from a young man to a Jedi master is told. The films in a row then showed a very different version of Luke, in which he had essentially become the bitter hermit.
“So when I had the opportunity, I thought:” Certainly, it’s wonderful, “said Hamill about his return for The Mandalorian. “I think Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni, boy, they get Star Wars. They get it. They speak the same language as George in a way that I questioned in the consequences, “he added, referring to the designer / serial writer Jon Favreau and the writer / director Dave Filoni.
Mark Hamill had a different experience with regard to movies in a row
It seems that Hamill had a much more positive experience by taking over his role as Luke Skywalker for The Mandalorian that he for the Star Wars Filling films, from 2015 Force wakes up, which was produced by JJ Abrams.
“I had real reservations to note. I thought it would be a mistake,” admitted Hamill at the Hollywood Reporter. He admitted that he only returned after Harrison Ford decided to resume his role as Han Solo in Force wakes up. “I thought:” Well, Harrison is not going to do it anyway. “” But that changed when Hamill saw that, in fact, Ford had decided to return to Star Wars. “Once I saw in the press he had accepted, I felt like I had been drafted-because if I am the only one to say no, I will be the most hated man in the Nerd domain,” he said.
Hamill, who has focused on voiceover for several years, has recently returned to the big screen. He is currently playing in The long walk And appeared in the film by Mike Flanagan 2024, Chuck’s life.
The long walk is currently in cinemas. THE Star Wars franchise, including The Mandalorian, is streaming on Disney +.
