There are floating cars, there are fire-swords, and robots, Hamill recalled.
And he said, Sure.
He compared the avalanche of merchandise to the endless marching brooms from DisneysThe Sorcerers Apprentice.
The toys just start coming to your house.
Bum-bah-bump, bah-bump…, he sang.
Every day, more toys.
Hamill said one of the earliest words his kids said was Kenner!
Whyd you let us give her a Sinead OConnor haircut with cuticle scissors?
I said, They wereyourtoys!'
Theres no more room in my house for stuff, Hamill said.
When I start putting my collection in storage, thats no fun.
… We want these things to share and look at.
SoPop Culture Questis a way for me to have an excuse to come to your house and look atyourcollection.
Did he think it was funny?
No, no, I wasnt insulted.
I thought it was a really great surprise.
But I dont think theypreparedme correctly, he answered.
I went to training, and I lost all this weight.
He said Lucasfilm could have let him know in advance what he was getting into.
Its all about preparing you.
Oh, by the way, all that workout where you lost all the weight?
Youre going to have toturn and remove yourhood,' Hamill joked.
Im like, ugh, I need to lie down for a minute.
You should have seen me.
What are the very first words in the crawl?
Luke Skywalker has vanished,' Hamill said.
I said, Hoo, this is gonna begood!'
I thought, Oh, what agreatentrance!
GAH!Reycaught it…?
She hasnt even been to Dagobah for training!
But he says Luke didnt finish his training either, so fair is fair.
TRY NOT TO LAUGH
One kid asked Hamill for his funniest moment while filming.
The actor said even during serious scenes like Obi-Wan Kenobis death, it was hard not to laugh.
All the time, we were laughing.
We had to be serious, butcome on.
It was just goofier than hell, Hamill said.
I mean, whats wrong with this picture?
It was just really odd.
I said, Im in this movie, she said, Whats it called.
I said, Its calledStar Wars, and she asked, Is that likeStar Trek?
And I went … His mouth opened in a long pause.
Yes, its exactly likeStar Trek.
It would be easier to just say that.
And they got it in one take.
Usually they have to do, four, five, six, 10 takes, Hamill says.
I was so disappointed.
They said, Do you want to fly?
I said, So much!
It was Peter Pan time!
Its an insurance risk.
If he hits a wall like Wile E. Coyote, the whole movies off.
Hell be a stain on the wall.'
QUOTES TO COME
Hamill did tease a tiny bit of the nextStar Warsinstallment.
Rian Johnson is amazing, he said of the next installments writer-director.
Hell make you forget all about May the Force be with you.
Hes come up with so many new catchphrases.
