In June 2014, Disney’s Hollywood Studios at Walt Disney World received a visitor from a galaxy far far away … or in real life, London, where Star Wars Episode VII was in production.  Yes, Mark Hamill attended Star Wars Weekends, participating in a motorcade and being interviewed by voice actor James Arnold Taylor, Ben Kenobi in Star Wars: The Clone Wars.  Luckily for fans who didn’t attend, Hamill’s interviews were taped and uploaded on YouTube for all to enjoy.  Here they are:
