Mark Hamill’s Involvement in Star Wars The Force Awakens
A new letter from Spoiler Dog has arrived and she has spelled out the entirety of Mark Hamill’s involvement in The Force Awakens, and he’s in way more scenes than just one. More after the jump!
Hey FakingStarWars! Spoiler Dog, here, directly from the set of Star Wars Episode 8. Here are some juicy spoilers from 7 & 8.
Mark Hamill, the guy stayed the whole year in the UK. He really LOVES the English pubs, so much, he decided to ask for citizenship.
Mark was originally supposed to be in only 1 scene from The Force Awakens… but he ended up being in almost every scene in the movie. Every morning, showing up with crazy hair and eyes, asking the assistant director, or the director himself if he could help. Usually, just to buy peace (Mark is inoffensive), they gave him a cameo.
To this date, Hamill has appeared as the following (includes both Episodes 7 and 8):
- A Stormtrooper
- A Flametrooper
- An alien
- A pig-like animal
- A robot
- A dancer
- Another weird looking alien
- One of the Knights of Ren
- Harrison Ford’s stunt double in the Kylo Ren battle
- The voice of that funky red guy in Max’s temple
- Chewbacca’s son
- Radio-controller of BB-8 in 2 scenes
- And many more.
Plus, when there is no scene, Mark helped with the catering (His Taco Tuesdays are legendary) and even played the flute on 2 tracks from the movie’s soundtrack. So, Mark is the true star of Star Wars Episode 7, Academy Awards Supporting actor worthy.
Lots of insight coming from Spoiler Dog today! Who would have known Mr. Hamill would have been so involved? Make sure you send a Tweet to @HamillHimself and thank him for making The Force Awakens a success! One week to go people!
