Mark Hamill Then
In the first Star Wars series, Mark Hamill, who portrayed Luke Skywalker, was a cultural figure who influenced generations of filmmakers. Mark’s Star Wars popularity didn’t always bode well for his future. “I don’t want Luke Skywalker in my video,” one producer said emphatically. Mark’s performance was too legendary for him to be quickly placed in other films, and he spent the rest of his career performing voiceover work. Many of the cartoon adaptations of the story from the last few decades included him as Batman’s wicked nemesis, the Joker.
