Fans love Mark Hamill. Fans love “Star Wars.” And fans really love Mark Hamill talking about “Star Wars.”
When Hamill first stepped into the role of Luke Skywalker in “A New Hope” in 1977, he had no idea that it was a role that he would eventually become best known for. Although his role in the films is (likely) over, he has made de-aged appearances as Luke Skywalker in the Disney+ live-action series “The Book of Boba Fett” and “The Mandalorian.”
Although it’s hard to say what the future holds for Hamill’s adventures in a galaxy far, far away, Hamill has been entertaining his followers with a look back at the past and today was no exception.

The fun started on Saturday afternoon when Zane Hubbard tweeted a funny behind-the-scenes “Star Wars” video from “A New Hope” where they did a take, only to realize that a mic was in the picture.
“We need more Star Wars BTS like this!! Absolute gold!” Zane captioned the video, where he also tagged Mark Hamill.
On Wednesday afternoon, Hamill responded to the video. He retweeted the video, along with the caption, “The most fun was when Carrie, Harrison & I all got to work together. Here we are behaving like total brats, ganging up on George [Lucas] & teasing him mercilessly as if the “mike was in picture” was HIS fault!”
He said that “Our goofiness always seemed to cheer him up” and added the hashtag “#StarWarsBTS_Tomfoolery.”
However, this isn’t the first time that Mark Hamill has had some fun with his fans!

Back in February, Hamill played a game with his fans to help them try to guess the name of his upcoming horror series.
As The Blast previously reported, the veteran voice actor will be stepping behind the camera once again in an upcoming Netflix project created by Mike Flanagan, who is the mastermind behind Netflix horror classics such as “The Haunting of Hill House,” “The Haunting of Bly Manor” and the recent “Midnight Mass.”
Many fans were quickly able to piece together that the name of Mark Hamill’s new show is “The Fall of the House of Usher.” It wasn’t all that hard to piece together, especially considering that Mike Flanagan has been teasing updates about it on Twitter for quite a while!
@HamillHimself I know what you’re filming for! You’ve confirmed you’re in Vancouver but I figured that out earlier. 😉 #TheFallOfTheHouseOfUsher #MarksMysteryChallenge https://t.co/eIjg2S5AYp pic.twitter.com/BaTafCSM00

According to TV Line, the fifth Flanagan and Macy collaboration to hit Netflix will be called “The Fall of the House of Usher.” Although fans may be familiar with the short story the horror legend published in the 1800s, Netflix described the show as a “modern remix” of several Edgar Allan Poe works.
I love a job where doing your homework might give you nightmares.

It is possible that the remix will include several of Poe’s best works, such as “The Tell-Tale Heart,” “The Cask of Amontillado,” and poems “The Raven” and “Annabel Lee.” Netflix further described the story as “an epic tale of greed, horror, and tragedy.”
Hamill will be joined by actress Carla Gugino, who has appeared in many of Flanagan’s other Netflix projects. Oscar nominee Frank Langella has been cast as Usher family patriarch Roderick Usher. “Major Crimes” star Mary McDonnell has been cast as his twin sister, Madeline Usher, and “Alias” actor Carl Lumbly has been cast as detective C. Auguste Dupin. Willa Fitzgerald joined the cast on January 28.
Hamill’s character hasn’t been named, although it was teased that his character is “surprisingly at home in the shadows.” No release date has been announced for the series but fans can’t wait to see it!
