TFN'S BRIAN LINDER TALKS TO MARK HAMILL ON ASYLUM ENTERTAINMENT'S STUDIO-I!

I ventured into the unknown on Entertainment Asylum's Studio-i, for the chat with none other than Luke Skywalker himself, Mark Hamill. ; The interview was an odd conglomeration of mediums, (Live text chat, Real Video, and telephone) but it worked well.; Mark discussed everything from the Star Wars saga to his date with Valerie Bertinelli.; Best of all, for me at least, Roger and the Studio-i folks decided to take one phone call at the conclusion of the interview.; I believe it must have been some spectacular act of divine, switchboard, intervention that caused my call to be the one that was taken! I got to speak with Mark Hamill...but wait...all of the question I had prepared were answered while I had been holding (Episodes 7,8,9 & Indy 4). Never fear TFN faithful...I managed to pull one out of the hat with my quaking hand, and asked Mr. Hamill if he had visited any of the Star Wars Web sites like TheForce.net. ; Apparently Mark doesn't frequently surf the Web, but his son Nathan does. ; Nathan was fortunate enough to land a role as an extra in Episode-I.; View this exciting and informative interview in Real Video from the Entertainment Asylum!
