A few weeks ago, Jeremy Renner met his childhood idol at the premiere of Captain America: Civil War in London. But he told Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show yesterday that he didn’t recognize him at first. In fact, he though Luke Skywalker was a homeless man because of the beard he has grown for the franchise. When someone told him that the bearded man was Mark Hamill, he peed a little in his pants and his co-star Elizabeth Olsen cried. Then he told the Star Wars favorite, “I had you on my underwear. Your face was on my underwear.” Instead of being weirded out by it because I am sure he has heard that a million times, the two exchanged action figures.
Even though Mark Hamill is in London filming Star Wars Episode VIII, he heard about this interview. How did he react it? He Tweeted, “Once @Renner4Real realized I wasn’t #HomelessHamill he rocked! I cried meeting #ElizabethOlsen too (but didn’t pee).” Even though he has been in four of the biggest movies of all time, he is still a nice warm dude who loves his fans. Proving the Force is strong with him.
Have you been wondering what the full version of Jabba Flow from Star Wars: The Force Awakens sounds like? Well not only did Lin-Manuel Miranda and J.J. Abrams perform the song they wrote outside the backstage door of Hamilton, Lucasfilm made it available to download on iTunes.
What a wonderful present from them to us on May the Fourth Be With You. So party like you are at Maz Kanata’s castle because you know you want to.
Today is Star Wars Day aka May the Fourth Be With You. Since I am not a big Star Wars fan (the shame), it is hard for me to find the video to commemorate day.
Well, yesterday Conan delivered that video. It was time for their weekly segment of Jordan Schlansky’s Product Review and he reviewed his Darth Vader Helmet.
It is not as much of a tribute to the movie franchise as much as it is to the fans. Watch and you will see what I mean. Just don’t drink or eat anything when you watch it because you will spit it out from laughing so hard.
May the Fourth be with them.
There are some advantages to being the Prince of England, and one of them is getting a tour of the secretive set of Star Wars VIII as it films. Yesterday, Prince William and Prince Harry went to Pinewood Studios and they got to meet BB-8, Luke Skywalker and the rest of the Star Wars cast. Not only that, they got to partake is a lightsaber battle or as Kensington Palace called it, “Time for a @starwars laser battle!” I loved that, but not as much as I enjoyed seeing Prince Harry smiling from ear to ear as a he got a big Wookie hug from Chewbacca.
Seriously, isn’t it so nice to see the two Princes look as happy as little boys? Who wouldn’t if given that same opportunity?
Mark Hamill has starred in four of the biggest films of all time, Star Wars, Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi and Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Now, I know he had a very small part in the latest film of the franchise, but you would think a Disney employee, the company that produced it, would know who Mark Hamill aka Luke Skywalker is. And you would be wrong? The person who made him a security pass, named him Mark Hamilton. Who is Mark Hamilton?
What happened to that employee? We don’t know, but Hamill seems like a cool enough guy, I don’t think he would do anything. But there are a lot of other stars who would not stand for that, like Prince Hans, Gaston, Cruella de Vil or Anakin.
