Uh, they did, and he looked old and tired and worn out and depressed. Not his fault but Disney's.

They did and they ruined his legacy because Rey stole it

Because Disney and Kathleen Kennedy SUCK!

@@rumblefish9 It was always the intention, even back when Lucas only vaguely imagined a sequel trilogy decades ago, that an old Luke would return like Alec Guinness in the original film and hand down the legacy to a new generation. You sound like a kid who has only seen the prequels saying Luke steals Obi-Wan Kenobi's legacy in A New Hope.

@@abeautifuldayful I need more

Size matters not.

@Justa KZfaqr keep telling yourself that!

Um…it’s a movie.

A true Jedi doesn't get married at all. That's partially what contributed to his dad's fall from grace.

I think it's amazing that his wife hasn't done the divorce payout game yet. what a good girl

Agreed he was a symbol of hope in our youths, unfortunately his final film appearance felt like seeing your childhood hero at an AA meeting, Luke was never meant to be a dark character and that was an unfortunate close to that character

not just your life mate, but mine also. I was 8 back in 77 when i first Star Wars in the ABC Cinema in Walsall West Midlands, it was a saturday afternoon, i think it cost like 20 pence or 30 pence back then. I was that blown away i ran back outside and got back in the queue to watch it again. That film created what would later become my moral and ethical compass in life. I`de love the chance to shake Mark Hamill`s hand and say `Thank you`, it truly was a magical time in cinema history.

Exactly well said.

Darth Vader in Star Wars and Empire was MY role model. Now, i run a company. Hahahahahaha!

you kissed your sister didnt you

He nailed it

Until you watch him hanging out with neo nazi's in Ukraine

"Hey kid....."

The Alec Guinness wasn’t bad

Dude's a top voice actor, all his impressions are impressive.

Ikr, and shows you just how much the brilliant score by John Williams elevated that scene.

It is one of the most important scenes in the whole Star Wars series. I wonder if the movie would've been as successful without it. It's the first scene in the movie that really tells you the movie wants to be taken seriously, and not just be a comedic adventure romp. The tone established there may have been what inspired them to do the late script change of killing Obi-Wan, and then having him speak to Luke in the afterlife during the final battle. I think the original script just had Obi-Wan speaking on the communicator to him from the Rebel base. Also, that tone seems to be what The Empire Strikes Back leaned into heavily. They had the benefit of seeing how well the scene worked in the final film by that time.

Agreed... timeless and magical

I don't even think Lucas realizes how important that scene is --- it literally inspires you to find a zest for life and go on adventures! It has the same effect that looking at the ocean had on people like Christopher Columbus and Ferdinand Magellan --- wondering what was beyond the horizon. Such a perfect scene for the dreamer in us.

It's an iconic scene for sure.

amen

Agreed.

Mark Hamill advices for young actors how to play new Luke Skywalker even within Deepfake, Deaging if Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni have a choice.I don't care about if Kathy Kennedy this evil woman will interferes again.

Hope is lost... -Rey Skywalker

Luke reminds me of Obama --- a good guy who takes down the Evil Empire (Trump and the Republicans)

I thnk you mean a GLOBAL treasure.

He’s a mere television actor who got lucky with Star Wars. He’s basically the one-hit wonder of Hollywood actors.

@@RocStarr913 What's your point?

no he is NOT Mark Hamill is a one hit wonder.

99 percent of Mark Hamills resume is voice overs.

Mark was on-set of the Mandalorian (season 1) in his classic Return of the Jedi attire, so there's that.

Your words hit me hard in the chest. My Mom passed away around the same time as yours, and ever since, in both TV shows and film, even music… there are certain scenes or moments where I have this overwhelmingly emotional reaction. I always have a flicker of thought as to why i feel it, but I think I try so hard to constantly repress the sadness and woe and grief to the point that the true reason I feel something in that moment is almost confusing to me. Almost embarrassing because I think I should be stronger than it, I should be a rock because everyone goes through loss on that scale in one way or another. I felt the same thing when Luke showed up. I was embarrassed, watching it with my wife who had never really been a Star Wars fan, and letting out a whimper trying to stifle back tears and being so conflicted as to why I was embarrassed to begin with, or why I held back my feelings. Im sorry to ramble. You aren’t alone in your loss. And with how cold and distant the world seems lately, it’s nice to know that I am not alone in my feelings sometimes. I hope you find peace and longer stretches of comfort as time passes. I know that time passing and reflection of the good times, what I can share with my own little family, are the only bandages on a wound that will sit heavy forever.

Im sorry about your loss. I completely understand why seeing something from your childhood makes you happy. I havent lost my mother but im in a place right now where im looking back to my younger self for assurance or joy maybe. We dont know each other but i wanted to share that with you and say its going to be ok. Just hold on to those happy memories.

Hardly

@@dann5480 Totally.

Agreed.❤

The joker

He's also very humble and seems entirely genuine on his thoughts of playing Luke Skywalker.

Also known as The Replicator

definitely also joker. his ability to be both a maniacal, yet ingenious joker is glorious. very unique. I appreciate the mischievous jack Nicholson joker, the practical yet philosophical heath ledger version but Hamills joker I think is most accurate

It's sad his other movies didn't do so well because I loved them all . Corvette Summer , The Big Red One and even The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia .

While we all wait for Luke and Mara Jade together finally coming into the Disney canon, check out Mara Jade’s fanmade theme in the meantime, it’s John williams level incredible.

From 10 to 56? that’s a lifetime

I counted FIVE!! All spot on!!

And that's why mARK HAMill voices the iconic Joker voice

His Harrison Ford cracks me up every time.

@@adventurefuel5172 😂

He didn't do Carrie's voice per se, but the intonation and cadence was similar

Disney stands for D+ movies nowadays.

@@BeWise4Life disney d stands for dumpster fire +

George Lucas created Jar Jar Binks and sold Star Wars to Disney. He ended screwing the franchise

@@dariosandoval3608 whats wrong with Jar Jar?

One problem. Cal Kestis is 13 years older than Luke. Cal survived Order 66 while Luke was just born. Honestly, Jedi Fallen Order and Survivor have amazing story. Finishing Jedi Survivor feels a lot like The Empire Strikes Back. The game made a better story than the recent trilogy. If the old Extended Universe weren't de-canonized, Cameron Monaghan would have made an excellent Ben Skywalker, Luke's son with Mara Jade. Ben was a redhead.

Yeah, too bad. It's fun to think of the possibles though. 😎

Agree.

You remember’77 very well

They basically watched all his past interviews on KZfaq and re-asked the most interesting questions from them. I already saw him answer all of these. I'm disappointed they didn't try to cover new ground.

@@jedijones I'm mainly talking about the old clips of him in other stuff, and the editing.

@@Billkwando They left out Knightfall.

@@dianetheisen8664 Is that the ball punchy guy from Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back?

He would have been on tv on Eight is Enough

@@Mxyzptlksac He might've gotten William Katt's role in The Greatest American Hero, if William Katt had won the audition to play Luke.

I heard Shaun Cassidy wanted the role of Luke? I just laugh thinking about that.

@@jedijones I said Eight is Enough because Mark was in the pilot as David Bradford, and he got out of his contract to be in Star Wars.

Not the sequel Luke, more OT Luke.

They did a great job with that. The Mandalorian is Awesome.

Yes, that was awesome 🙂 kind of wish all that was the basis for the last trilogy 😅

Agreed. I literally could not breathe.

@@deannamarie3746 well….let me tell you a story……!

@@leeh4722 lol no, but thank you. Those shows should've been the last trilogy.

Fire Lord Ozai agrees.

Someone tell Disney

@@Thorerthedwarf Disney: FU

Unfortunately the car accident did extensive damage to his face, which may have affected his ability to get leading man roles. If you notice his facial features up to the first Star Wars, he closely resembled another actor who ten years later would rise to fame and become the biggest A-Lister in history. Yes, I think Mark Hamill could have been Tom Cruise before Tom Cruise became Tom Cruise.😮

Mark Hamill was done with blockbusters after Return of the Jedi because of the crazy scheduling, workload and (back then) danger. It's a very stressful part of the business. Hamill also said before that he was always much more comfortable doing voice work and theatre. Very few actors actually want to do franchise films and blockbusters, they do it for the paycheque.

he's lazy......

He was typecast as Luke Skywalker after the films, but didn’t age well after Return of the Jedi. In village of the damned with legend Christopher Reeve, he did not age well by 1995.

Nah, she’s flipping him off with both hands lol

Yup

ONE HIT WONDER whose resume is 99percent voice overs.

Guess CBS found Episode 9: The Rise of Skywalker to be *especially* forgettable

@@TheresaPowers Says the NO-HIT WONDER whose resume is all trolling.

@@TheresaPowers He's forever a part of pop culture, what are you?

@@TheresaPowers Do you feel better when other people feel bad? Sit down and shut up.

The Replicator

😂

6:26 Probably best to watch the whole video first.

Especially as The Joker reading Donald Trump's New Year's Tweet!

Well considering he did nothing but die in the second movie, I would say you missed out on nothing.

He’s clearly too silly of a personality for that kind of a strong dramatic range. There’s a clear reason why he mostly did television outside of Star Wars.

@@RocStarr913 thats a dense presumption, and your use of the word "clearly" is also misplaced and redundant.
