"Ooooh, snap!"
It's worse than that because Indiana Jones made Harrison Ford, not Star Wars, IMO.
It's really wrong how just about everyone takes a dirty shot at Mark Hamill. He's the ONE member of the cast who didn't end up in the tabloids drunk, cheating on his wife( Ford) or strung out on drugs( Fisher). He married in 1978, is still with the SAME wife( how many can say THAT in entertainment?), raised 3 great looking kids who also never showed up in the tabloids as embarassments. There's never been any scandal about him, and he's never used his celebrity to criticize his country or even Lucas- who certainly didn't help his career as he did Ford's.
He is a personable, affable, genuine NICE guy who has never snapped back at the slaps he has gotten in the press. He also has made a good living on Broadway and in voice-over work when it was looked down on by celebrities. Now everyone is doing it and it's admirable.
Mark has never gotten the credit he deserved for making the original SW films as culturally immortal as they are- but HIS is the face, and the name, most associated with SW the world over.
He has his immortality, which I doubt anyone from the prequel films will achieve.The constant derision is undeserved .
I agree with Steyn about the film, but the cheap shot at Mark was reprehensible.
