Mark Hamill At Last Night's ROTJ Screening In LA

Posted by Eric on May 5, 2013 at 11:11 AM CST |

There was no announcement at Disney World on the evening of May the Fourth, but attendees at a special screening of Return of the Jedi at Entertainment Weekly’s CapeTown Film Festival did get the chance to see a surprise guest last night: Luke Skywalker himself, Mark Hamill! You can find complete recaps of what Hamill discussed at IGN, Ain't It Cool News, and The Official Star Wars Blog (whose story includes an interview with Hamill). Here are some of his remarks to the audience:

"if it leaks, we'll know who leaked it" - What @hamillhimself recalls Irvin Kershner telling him when he revealed Vader was Luke's father.

.@hamillhimself says he's only has 1 creative meeting about Episode VII but at it he said he'd like good balance between CGI & practical FX

"Let's put this in perspective... Who cares?!" - @hamillhimself on his first reaction to being told by his son that Greedo now shot first.

Huge cheers from crowd as @hamillhimself says one of the first things he did when he got some money was buy all the toys he wanted as a kid.
