I met Mark years ago at an airport, of all places, with my parents when I was a little kid. I told him how my name is actually Luke, and he looked up at my parents and said, "Because of me, right?" My dad replies, "It's my fault I took her to see Star Wars on our first date."

hearing mark hamill say "i worked at mcdonald's" while i'm sitting in mcdonald's on my break on a tough shift really made me smile.

That moment where Mark says it will be nice that Carrie Fisher’s Hollywood Star will be close to his “because she’s always fun to be around” is so wholesome - I love that it’s spoken in the present tense, like she has never left us 🥲

[jasonthewatchmansson]

Love this guy so much. In all the decades he has been acting, he has had no scandals. No drugs, no serial divorces, no meltdowns, not even a claim that he was mean on a bad day. He's just a solid, decent man.

[pmcKANE]

I could listen to Mark Hamill talk about anything for hours. An absolute treasure he is.

[MrMman]

You know someone is a legend when he spends nearly 14 minutes talking, and not a single word he says is boring.

[Kovu]

“This thing is gonna get cancelled in 4 episodes, cuz it’s too smart.”
That’s the most depressing yet true line I’ve ever heard.

[rasmuslundstrom]

"Is Mark Hamill in one piece? Well so far, but the day is young so let's wait and see." He is a national treasure 😭😭😭💀

[Feesh]

His response to 'is Mark Hamill in one piece' question--in the midst of other questions about shows that he was in--is hysterically endearing 😄😂🙂

[grocksauce]

Him perfectly impersonating Harrison saying” hey, I don’t sound like that.” Is one of life’s little treats that just keeps on giving.

[DukeDarkshadow]

Mark Hamill completely misunderstanding the question about whether he is in One Piece or not made me absolutely crack up. 😂😂😂

[RadioactiveWeka]

So heartwarming when he called Kevin his Batman. Kevin was the Batman and Mark is the Joker, can't change my mind.

[taha_boy]

The thing I love about Mark Hamil is that he never thinks a role is too small for him. He's cameoed in the CW and been one of the biggest blockbusters of all time and he does his best in each.

[jesseellyson]

I think it is impossible not to love this guy. He's smart, funny, personable, gracious. He's not at all what you would expect Hollywood to churn out.

[GilliganKrueger]

Hearing him bring up how he’s not only happy that Carrie is getting a star but also that it’s right next to his really warms my heart! Him saying “she’s really fun to be around” only intensified the feeling…

[cleverusername]

I'm convinced that Mark's utter commitment to and palpable enthusiasm for bringing joy to his fans are more powerful than the Force itself.

[IMVoxerus]

This guy is just pure gold. His ability to remain so humble and still pass on a genuinely good message and wisdom with authority and subtlety is inspiring. He is the definition of a good person, and how he managed to keep his perspective through all his fame is probably his greatest accomplishment.

[GPS_DS]

Easily the best WIRED interview, this man gives his all to every interview, ad, and role he’s in, with one of the most likable people I’ve ever seen. One of my biggest heroes.

[teamofone]

Fun fact: Mark Hamill nailed his role as the Joker so well when he gets in character the other people in the studio got spooked.

[AndreiCaldararu]

The fondness he he speaks with about people he's worked with, especially Kevin Conroy, Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher is just amazing.
