It's a crime he is not as big a star that Harrison Ford has become.

+Jacob W Rossi Hamill has done a lot more than just voice overs. He was pretty much typecast as Luke Skywalker and was actually turned down for roles by directors because of the public perception of him as Luke. He had a successful career on and off Broadway for years.

Watching this in 2023 I am struck by how articulate he is but also how articulate he is in comparison to actors today who basically just keep saying "amazing...amazing... the director was amazing... this person was amazing... it was all amazing." It says if there's only one descriptive today and it's "amazing"! It is so disturbing today how even actors who should be able to articulate don't articulate well at all in natural conversation, let's say in an interview as Mark is doing here, again, very articulately!

And because of what the other guy commenting said. He just aged aswell, it was three years between the movies and he was 28 or so by the time they filmed ESB
is it me, or when he was young, during an interviews he was trying to sound as soft, calm and pretty as he can, like angel sorta style? because it`s so weird and funny, because now it seems like he`s trying to do exact opposite thing, like sound as loud, low and crazy? like joker kinda style? because i love it and it`s awesome! such a cool guy.

Mark Hamill is my childhood crush when I was just a 12 yr old closeted gaykid back in 1977 when I saw Star Wars: A New Hope. I still remember that year wishing him to be my boyfriend not realizing that it's impossible cause he's straight and he's like a decade older than me 😭 Seeing this really made me cry reminding me again of my gay crush fantasy of him back in 1977 that resulted to a huge heartbreak when I finally realized 6 years later that it's impossible for me and him to be together because of our big age gap. 😔 💔
I was one of the kids whose question was asked - although it's not shown in this clip. I still have my Ask Aspel Badge and I bought a DVD of the programme from the Archives nearly two years ago and had it signed by Mark Hamill this year.

His voice really Changed
The momentary quizzical look Hamill gives when the host says that the face reconstruction "wasn't really TOO bad."
