You know Mark Hamill, right? The legendary actor who became a household name as Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars saga? Well, this guy doesn’t take himself too seriously, and he proved it once again during a hilarious appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers. While poking fun at the iconic Star Wars franchise, the real showstopper was his spot-on impersonation of Harrison Ford, who played the unforgettable Han Solo from the original trilogy right up to 2015’s The Force Awakens.

Mark Hamill Recalls the Trash Compactor Scene

If you're a fan of the original Star Wars trilogy, you remember the iconic trash compactor scene from A New Hope, where Luke, Han, Leia, and R2-D2 find themselves in a perilous situation. During the interview, Mark shared a behind-the-scenes story about this scene. He recalled how, while reviewing the continuity notes, he noticed something that seemed off. “We hadn’t filmed the trash compactor scene yet, and I’m looking at the script, thinking, ‘Wait a second, this is right after we got out of the trash compactor. Shouldn’t my hair be all wet and matted with schmutz all through it?’” Mark said, laughing as he recounted the moment. That’s when Harrison Ford chimed in with his signature dry humor, telling Mark, “Hey, kid, it ain’t that kind of movie.” Watching Mark mimic Harrison’s voice is absolutely priceless—it’s one of those moments that makes you appreciate the camaraderie and chemistry between these legendary actors.

Mark Hamill Teases the Title of The Rise of Skywalker

In a playful tweet back in 2019, Mark Hamill gave fans a sneak peek into the creative process behind the title of the final installment of the Star Wars saga, The Rise of Skywalker. “It’s not #EpisodeIXFromHisNap or even my suggestion: #EpisodeIXABunchMoreStuffHappens— It’s #EpisodeIXTheRiseOfSkywalker! It’s time for the 8 months of speculation to begin. Is that Skywalker KYLO? LEIA? ANAKIN? LUKE? A previously unknown SKYWALKER? Is REY a Skywalker?” Mark joked, leaving fans buzzing with excitement and curiosity. The title was officially revealed at the annual Star Wars Celebration, and let me tell you, the internet went into overdrive trying to decipher its meaning. Everyone was asking the same question: Which Skywalker are we talking about here?

Mark Hamill Returns as Luke Skywalker

Despite the shocking conclusion of Episode VIII – The Last Jedi, where Luke Skywalker met what seemed like his final end, fans can rest assured that Mark Hamill will be reprising his role in The Rise of Skywalker. The Star Wars universe has always been full of surprises, and we’ve seen characters like Yoda and Obi-Wan Kenobi return as Force ghosts after their physical deaths. Let’s not forget Anakin Skywalker, who also made a comeback in spirit form. So, while Luke might not be walking the physical planes anymore, it’s safe to say we’ll see him in some form in the new movie. After all, when you’re strong with the Force, death doesn’t have to be the end.
