    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."

      For example, there are a lot of Star Wars memes on facebook and in one of them I read a guy named Anakin, he was using his name at social media without problem. But it was kinda sad to read in his comment that he was bullied in his school for that name. But I got your point buddy, this Luke needs to be very proud. Luke met the original Luke, hes like one of the choosen :)

      People don’t realize how talented Mark Hamill is. When I was a small kid, after I saw Star Wars, I think I watched every show I could with Mark Hamill-Muppet Show, Corvette Summer (priceless). I think he was in the Elephant Man. Everything I’ve seen him in looks like he’s aiming for the fences.

    He’s been married 45 years, that’s so wild to me! Especially in Hollywood!

    What a fantastic, grounded guy he is. No wonder he was so good as Luke.

    It must be something to watch tv and question whether or not you actually worked on the show you’re watching or not because you’ve been a part of so many. Gotta love this guy 😂

    The best part is him having no idea what One Piece is, and thinking it’s a question about his health! Never change, Mark!
