When I was 19 I worked on a movie he was in and I was able to have a great conversation with him on set. It was a dream come true for me. I've since met a ton of actors and celebrities working in the film industry, most of whom I'm pretty meh about, but Mark Hamill will always have a special place in my heart and Star Wars will always be my favorite movie of all time.

I wish folks would have laid off their hate, so we may have gotten some of the story of these beings. They were touched on in the animated series, 'The Clone Wars' when Yoda went on his journey of self-discovery.

      @@commandercaptain4664 that would be very strange. From what I recall, the original idea was that the Whills were writing about all of this that happened. I heard it was related to them by Artoo, but we still don't have any proper canon for it, and the new movies make that really difficult by him being out of the action 99% of the time.

    41:50 I swear he was going to say "Liam Neeson" but stopped-short. I just love listening to Mark Hamill. Frank asks him a simple question & Mark goes into a 20-minute story full of wit & good-natured sincerity. I'm so happy for him & his success. As a fan, I'm REALLY happy that an effort has been made to give Mark an opportunity to perform Luke Skywalker the way both he & fans want to see him & mend some of the backlash created by the divisive sequel trilogy.

    I love Mark Hamill, not only is he great, but goddamn that man can talk, Frank Oz asks “what part about being a voice artist most people don’t know”, by the end of Mark talking it’s nowhere near the question Frank asked, but you get amazing stories nonetheless. He’s just a talker, I’m the same way so it makes me feel better that he’s like that
