" I even remember the memos from 20th Century Fox, " can't you put a pair of (something) on the wookie?" They look at all this footage and thats all they can think of is "this character has no pants on". That was it, and they had big fights about this back and forth, they did sketches of him in like... kulots... and baggy surfer shorts,and I said this is so stupid. But thats the kind of big grown-up arguments that we'd get into. Even the arguements were fun, see.

They didn't even want to have "Wars" in the title. " Well, our demographics show that women from the ages of 18 through 36 did not like films with the word "Wars" in the title. And 18% of the population believes this is somehow a crime scene story with a loose sailor, Richard Burton", see we're not making this up, it was a real memo. So we had a contest "name the movie", you can put it on the call sheet board. If anybody could come up with a title better than "Star Wars" you know, if they won and their title was selected they'd win something, I forget. And no one came up with anything better..so..you know.."

😀 The latter half of that interview was funny. LOL ^__^

Yeah, that was funny. ^^ Mark Hamill has a good sense of humor. If he tried he might be a good stand up comic. His voice acting is pretty good too. He's most famous for playing the role of the Joker in the Batman animated series. ^^

Although its a shame that apparently he feels the series is done and even if there were to be a 7, 8, and 9 he wouldn't readily accept to do it. At least that how it seemed in this interview. Harrison Ford has the same attitude on it, even more so than Hamill.

I don't understand, why would these actors not want to do it? I can understand Ford, but it doesn't make sense for the others. Aside from it being another job that will pay well, I wonder why it seems they have no interest in at least finishing off their characters just for the sake of the legacy and legend they would leave. And age isn't a problem because chronologically the characters would all be in their 40s or so.

But with how things are going, there would be enough to cover their salaries, right?

Maybe Mark just likes playing the Joker so much that he doesn't want to do anything else. I remember reading on another message board that he'd get so into the role that he'd actually freak the other actors out a little.

If he would look right, I'd love to see him as a live-action version of the Joker.

Then again, if he gets too into the role, we don't have a real-life Batman that'll be able to catch him and put em in Arkam. 😱 😛

Thats good though, when an actor really gets into their roll. When they've blended so well with the essence of the character the whole presentation is more real and genuine. I know that when I get my first voice acting role, I'm going to prove what I can do. Even if its just a background extra or something. People are already impressed by my talent and charisma, and hopefully I'll go to do great things with it, like Mark. ^_^

Of course, he's a celebrity, so the doors will always be open for him. ^^
