It sounds dumb but it is a feeling that stays with you as you grow up. I read a brilliant interview with Mark Hamill years ago (can't remember where) and when asked if he was bitter because he didn't have the same measure of success as Harrison Ford etc - he replied that he was successful as he was still married to the same woman and his kids didn't hate him. I think he is obviously a very grounded and down to earth individual and I'm glad he remains my childhood hero. I was 7 when I first idolised Luke Skywalker and the ideas in Star Wars.

He had an awesome role in the "Eye" segment. And Sam Raimi has a cameo somewhere in there, too. Has anyone else seen John Carpenter’s Body Bags? He had an awesome role in the “Eye” segment.

Hamill simply said no because "I am so rich". He was a sci-fi and comic book geek who loved doing theater. He did three movies that set him up for life and now he doesn't have to do anything unless he wants to. Talked about being blessed.

Although at that time (I was 13) it was Han that did it for me. I would have loved for him to have also moved on and did more films and became even more successful but I for one have to agree, he is Luke Skywalker- every kids hero, I have grown up since but still cant shake that off. I agree with him though when asked whether he would join the RotS hoopla and then said, "it's tempting, but I want to hold off, because I want to have something new. ... It seems to me, that no matter how modest it is, you've got to offer them something new, so that you don't become a nostalgia artist. And that's always been what I strive to do.
