There was one scene from all the Star Wars movies that George Lucas and Irvin Kershner made Mark Hamill keep from everyone including his co-stars, and it was the infamous moment when Darth Vader reveals he is Luke Skywalker’s father.
The three men knew if it somehow got out, it would be Hamill that leaked it. So mum was the word for over a year and a half. He says he made sure not to tell Carrie Fisher because she could not keep a secret. In fact, he told Graham Norton that Harrison Ford and him would purposelessly tell her stuff to see how long it would take for everyone know. Talking about Han Solo, what was his reaction when he heard James Earl Jones say, “I am your father,” at the premiere screening? Hamill did a spot on Ford and said he leaned over to whisper in his ear, “Hey kid, you didn’t f*cking tell me that?” And with that Hamill was finally free to talk about that secret to anyone who asked.
BTW how much do you just love Hamill after this interview? He is just gosh darn lovable like an Ewok, BB-8 or a Porg.
Remember when Wil Wheaton wore his Star Trek costume to see Star Wars: The Force Awakes on The Big Bang Theory and we all laughed. Well, I guess Sheldon Cooper’s arch nemesis thought it was such a good idea, that he decided to try it out in real life when he went to see Star Wars: The Last Jedi at Mann’s Chinese Theater in Hollywood. How did it go over? Thankfully, it was packed full of nerds who appreciate both Stars and he is alive to praise the second to last Star Wars movie.
Now had he seen it at the AMC Burbank 16 late last night for one of the IMAX screenings where the audio went bad, things might not have turned out as well for him. Because according to KABC Burbank’s finest were called in to bring calm to pissed off theater goers. No one messes with a Star Wars movie on opening night and expects to get away with it. Do they?
Before Mark Hamill has a sister he didn’t know about in Star Wars, he had a brother he was afraid of losing in Eric. Did the 23-year-old break your heart in that 1975 movie?

It has been a long time since Jimmy Fallon has done one of his mashups with taking the words out of someone/people’s mouth and putting it into a song. This time he had the cast of Star Wars sing Hanson’s MMMBop and proud Yoda be.
Who knew the Star Wars cast said a lot of ineligible things throughout the franchise!
This time he tried a different tactic with a different actor from the Star Wars Episode VIII. When he was unsuccessful in getting Lupita Nyongo to talk, he brought in his toughest weapon. That weapon in his sweet 6-year-old daughter Ava. Was the cutie able to do what her dad could not? You just have to watch this awwwwdorable video to find out.
BTW I love that no one is fazed that the Oscar winner is covered in blood after filming a scene for her Zombie movie Little Monsters with Olaf.
