Mark Hamill has been nearly silent throughout the entire production of J.J. Abrams' new film, Star Wars: The Force Awakens. He recently spoke about his non-disclosure agreement and about how he couldn't even utter a word about the movie, let alone his character. But now he finally opened up about his return to the role of Luke Skywalker in an interview with Famous Monsters Filmland Magazine.
When asked about the film in general and how he felt about the newest addition to the Star Wars franchise, Hamill had this to say, “The new storyline, the new characters, and especially the actors that they chose to play them, are thrilling beyond words.” Star Wars fans can only imagine and wait in anticipation to experience what Mark Hamill has merely described in just one sentence. I know I am. Hamill then went on to talk about the film and how it differs from the originals in the aspect of character relationships. He even mentions the famous and awkward love triangle between Han (Harrison Ford), Luke (Mark Hamill), and Leia (Carrie Fisher). “I think [THE FORCE AWAKENS] could be every bit as exciting for the audience, [but] it’s not going to be like it was then, when we’re rattling around in the Death Star, and exchanging quips, and jockeying for the affections of the princess. It’s going to be age appropriate. The story has moved on, and our purpose in the story is different than it was then.”
