Mark Hamill Shares Funny BTS Video From New Hope Set
Mark Hamill just shared a behind-the-scenes video of himself and his co-stars, Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher, from the set of Star Wars: A NewHope, having fun by teasing director George Lucas. All three actors were relatively unknown before they were cast in Lucas' 1977 science-fiction space-opera and were shocked when the film with a meager budget of $11 million broke box office records and grossed $530 million globally. Audiences gravitated towards the story of Hamill's character of Luke Skywalker being thrust from his small world of moisture farming on Tatooine into a galaxy-wide battle between good and evil that started him on the path of becoming a Jedi Master. The scruffy scoundrel with a heart of gold, Han Solo (Ford), and the unwavering leader of the Rebel Alliance, Princess Leia Organa (Fisher), also made for iconic characters that audiences couldn't get enough of.
After A New Hope's success, the trio of Hamill, Harrison, and Fisher reprised their roles in two more films to round out the original trilogy and returned again in the most recent sequel trilogy that started with Star Wars: The Force Awakens in 2015. All three actors became good friends after A New Hope, and Hamill and Ford were devastated by the loss of Fisher from complications due to a heart attack in 2016. While Ford's time in the Star Wars universe concluded with Force Awakens,Hamill has continued to come back to Star Wars in one way or another. Most recently, the actor has made appearances in season 2 of The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett as a Jedi mentor to the young force-sensitive Grogu.
