Star Wars quiz: only true Jedi can answer these 8 questions about Luke Skywalker!

Mark Hamill grew up between the United States and Japan in a large family of seven brothers and sisters. As a child, he was fascinated by the adventures of Laurel and Hardy, which made him want to become an actor. After studying drama, he participated in numerous television films and television series, including Hôpital Central, Cannon, and Les Rues de San Francisco.

It is the famous monster Freddy Krueger who will be at the origin of the Star Wars adventure for the very young actor. A statement that requires some explanation, we agree! One day, while actor Robert Englund (future Freddy Krueger in the saga of Wes Craven) auditions for the film Apocalypse Now, he stumbles across a room where other auditions were taking place for the project of a certain George Lucas: Star Wars.

He figured the role would be perfect for his roommate at the time, Mark Hamill, who ended up going through the casting process and being hired to play the film’s title character. If this mythical role brought the actor to the status of international star, he will also have brought his dark side, strongly curbing the future career of Mark Hamill.

Indeed, after having interpreted this role which sticks to his skin three times, the directors no longer see the actor but only the character, and are reluctant to hire him for their films. This is precisely what will prevent him, for example, from interpreting the young Mozart in Milos Forman’s Amadeus.

Mark Hamill then turns to the theater, but will above all find a second wind by lending his voice to many characters in the field of animation and video games, the most famous of them undoubtedly remaining the Joker of the Batman animated series.

He will return to the Star Wars universe at the end of the 2010s with the last trilogy. Back to the cult character of the star saga, with this eight-question quiz on the most famous of the Jedi. May the force be with you !
