Mark Hamill 30 Years After Jedi — and Beyond

By W. R. Miller on May 8, 2013

May 4, 2013.  Nearly thirty years after Return of the Jedi premiered at the Egyptian Theater in Hollywood, the theater screened the film again, four times during the day.  This was sponsored by Entertainment Weekly during its CapeTown Film Festival.  Patrons were surprised when, at the final two screenings, Mark Hamill appeared for a Q & A session.  WalkingCarpet.net was among those who video’d one of the sessions, and placed it online here (Disclaimer: Profanity):

Mark discusses working on the original Star Wars trilogy, his appraisal of the prequels, his surprise upon learning that Star Wars would continue, defending Jar Jar Binks, mimicking Harrison Ford, voicing The Joker, and his hopes for the future of Star Wars.

Darren Franich of Entertainment Weekly posted coverage here.
