    Mark Hamill is not being forthcoming here. He had reconstruction on his face, dental work, etc. You can tell he doesn’t look the same, and you can tell he crushed part of his face because ever since the first movie he has sort of a lazy eye on one side of his face.
    Everybody noticed at the time, which is why Lucas (no matter what they say now) created the wompa scene to distract from Mark’s clearly altered appearance. It seems they thought that if they introduced Mark in the movie with serious facial bruises and cuts, it would ease the shock at seeing his face after.

    As a kid I never really noticed a change in his face, but I’ve always thought, even as a kid, that he looked more handsome in episodes 5 and 6 than in 4. He looks a bit baby-faced in A New Hope while he looks more matured in TESB and ROTJ. At least that’s what I’ve always thought, idk if others agree though.

I attributed it to the fact that a couple of years or so had passed , and he probably had been living a very fast life due to the fame he had acquired.

      @grandparicksfirstassistant3386 I guess you may be right. If I'm being perfectly honest, the only reason I found out about his accident was that someone told me about it when I was like 16 or so, back in '01. I'd been watching all the movies for as long as I could remember, and I'd never noticed any significant difference at all. I mean, maybe he looked a BIT different to me, but I'd always chalked that up to the fact that he was slightly older. I absolutely don't think he looks like two different people, coz his voice and mannerisms remain identical.
      Either way, I really don't think it matters at all.

    I attended a small dinner party at a friend’s apartment. It so happened that Mark Hamill, his wife and infant son were staying in a furnished apartment in the same complex. This was in Chattanooga while Mark was filming “The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia”, so probably 1980 iirc. We saw them from the balcony as they walked by and we couldn’t resist making our fan presence known. He turned around as we filled his ear on how much we loved him in the Star Wars films. He seemed like a down to earth, friendly, smiling guy with no hint of an inflated ego. We invited them to our little soirée but he politely declined. I’ve wondered on occasion if he might have popped in had he been alone. And that’s my one and only Mark Hamill story. Cheers

      Thanks for your video on this topic. I saw the Star Wars trilogy for the first time in 1985. As a 80s kid I was obsessed with Star Wars.
      So anyway, even at a young age I thought Luke was played by two different actors.
      Poor Mark Hamill... Think about this, some people choose to change the way they look, but he got messed up and there was no going back. Imagine waking up in the hospital after an accident and you have a totally different face. No wonder he got into voice acting. Ironic how Mark's real life paralleled the character of the Joker in the 1989 Batman film. There's that scene after Joker goes to the surgeon, where he looks in the mirror and starts laughing at the results.
      If I ever met Mark Hamill I'd love to ask him about that, but it would be rude so I would not.

    I love Mark butt h downplaying this a lot… His face is noticeably different. It’s not just his nose. It’s his mouth and chin… He tore ligaments in his face He’s still a beautiful man but first Star Wars movie his looks were significantly different.
