Actor Mark Hamill last watched the Star Wars film in 1977.
Here's Your Fresh, Original Version:
Hey there! It's all about Mark Hamill (73), the legend we all know as Luke Skywalker from Star Wars. He's stirred things up in Star Wars fandom with a shocking admission. Guess what? Our man hasn't caught a re-run of the first Star Wars movie since its release 47 years ago!
"Ain't seen it since it dropped," Hamill spilled on the "3rd Hour of Today" show. "My boys, especially Nathan - he's a die-hard fan, watch it. I caught it when it first hit the screens, and that's about it."
No Nostalgia for His Own Gig
So, he's not one of those bubbly types who go "Let's pop in one of my movies!" Hamill quipped. This attitude is a whopper, considering Star Wars not only shaped his career but also supercharged into one of the most triumphant film franchises evah!
Hamill essayed Luke Skywalker in the original trilogy, then returned for the sequel films. Luke's last hurrah was in 2017's "The Last Jedi," though he appeared once more as a spectral specter in "The Rise of Skywalker."
Life After Luke
Though Luke's bits are all done, Hamill ain't ruling out a resurrection of the Skywalker, but "I reckon my time's done," he told People for his new flick "The Life of Chuck." "I'm truly grateful to have been part of it, but I think the focus should be on the upcoming projects and the fresh talents."
Hamill's got little clue about the upcoming Starfighter film in the Star Wars universe, and he's not in it. But he's keen as a bean to see Ryan Gosling (44) in charge: "I dig his humor too!"
Despite his iconic role in Star Wars, Mark Hamill shares he hasn't revisited the first movie since its release, as he mentioned on the "3rd Hour of Today" show. His fascination seems to be more inclined towards pop-culture, entertainment, and sci-fi-and-fantasy narratives beyond his own fame, as evidenced by his excitement for the upcoming Starfighter film in the Star Wars universe and Ryan Gosling's role in it.
