      Bad interviewer in my opinion. Put James Lipton on Hamill and it would have been awesome . This interviewer guy was sweet and kind and sort of respectful, but he was playing it by the book which anyone can do. He wasn't having fun and enjoying a great guest as much as he could have.

    • @Rowebot15
      @Rowebot15 Před 5 lety +12

      I like the specific mention of Taco Bell. I know I can make a full page easily, but here
      Taco Bells In the 70s and 80s were walk-up window type buildings. Their menu was like 8 things. When I was in High School, '87-'91, They built a free-standing Taco Bell in San Luis Obispo. It had a plaque that read "Largest Free-Standing Taco Bell in the world". There were large Taco Bells in airports and malls, hotels, but this was the largest purpose-built one. A couple of years later they built a bigger one across town.
      So, I know he just used Taco Bell as something everyone can recognize. Or Taco Bell re-used an old building. It just brought a memory to surface from my past. I should post this to him on twitter, but he gets so many of these.

      I interviewed him at the private Press Reception following the Scottish Star Wars Press Preview in 1977. I was merely my university newspaper film reviewer, 19 years old; Mark was aged 27, and noticing my youthful enthusiasm but nervousness, he generously sat with me and chatted for more than 30 minutes. I still have my cassette tape recording, during which he was funny, charming, generous and down-to-earth. He gave me two beautiful still photographs from the film, on which he drew funny cartoon messages for me. They remain to this day among my most treasured possessions.

      I seriously doubt they would have the guts to kill Luke off. Luke is too much of a beloved and iconic character and if they are smart they will know that killing him off would anger the fans so much it would totally kill a legendary franchise. The franchise can survive losing Han and Leia, but not the pivotal character of Jedi master Luke. Luke is the prime hero in the saga and was set up to be the most powerful character in the franchise, so seeing him die would be a major let down to the fans of the original trilogy.

      Marguerite21 I agree that he deserves happines after all that's happened to him over the years but Luke was never that lucky of a character - his life has basically become a string of familial tragedies that he's always somehow in the centre of.
      Also he's not like Yoda, his enemies still know and believe he's alive and won't rest until they've killed him. Not to mention "fading away" like Yoda did sort of worked for that character but in the case of Luke I think not only will Ryan Johnson want to give him an EPIC send-off, worthy of the character and his place within the SW universe, but also I'm sure Mark would much rather for his character to end in a semi-tragic kind of way. Say he sacrifices himself in some way for the greater good, much like Obi-Wan did in IV, but he does so willingly and he knows his legacy has already been passed on to the next generation, meaning Rey.

      +gary wood I totally agree. I know many SW fans think that being a Sith Lord is cool, and I can understand that, but I think Luke represents every thing good in the SW films. I like how he went from a farm boy to a Jedi while facing his inner demons linked to the dark side.
      Now I am going to be conflicted because will Luke be killed off in Epi VIII or IX and if so, will he be killed off (and if that is the case, who will kill him off, a very powerful sith, because Luke survived Darth Vader and Emperor) or will he sacarfice his life a la Obi Wan did in EpiIV or will he die of old age like Yoda? Or will he head off into the sunset and retire?

      @vardellsfolly5200 Před 8 lety +9

      +aliensarerealancient Harrison Ford is not arrogant. If you see some/many of his interviews you will also come to that realization. He is extremely shy, awkward and he is intimidated by crowded places. The interesting part is that, being an actor, he is supposed to be extremely expressive, yet as a person he is not. Not at all. He is very polite, decent, modest and kind, but he can never express his thoughts nor his emotions. Notice how long it takes to form a sentence when he is asked a question. You might also observe he is very hesitant to open himself up. Some people are lonely and a bit/a lot nervous. Others are anti-social. He is one of them. He does not avoid interaction with his fans, because he is arrogant or anti-professional, or even unappreciative of their support... He does so, because, just like, say, Peter Sellers, he is incapable of showing his true self. Another example is Michael Bay. He was summoned in front of a huge audience to advertise a product, you can actually search youtube to see that video and he was so afraid of the people around him, that he took off. He immediately stopped the presentation and run away..

    I love how explosive he is right off the bat, then settles in once he feels comfortable. I know that feel.

    It’s so cool how Mark looks up at the audience above him as well. True showman, Actor, and Man. Damn fine Gentleman. Wish we could have seen more or Luke in the new films.

    Got my daughter to watch Star Wars (OK, 'A New Hope' if you insist) a little while ago, and she was amazed when I told her how old it is - she thought it was made about 10 years ago.

    Laughed at that one guy in the last few seconds of the video who stands up to give a standing ovation, realises nobody else is standing and quickly sits down.

    I remember seeing Mark in his Luke Skywalker outfit in an episode of the Muppet Show and being blown away by his comic timing in the skits. Later, I watched him play the eccentric Trickster in the 1990 tv series The Flash and of course voice the Joker in Batman:TAS.
    When the Star Wars films roll around, its easy to forget that he can play dramatic and comedic roles with ease.
