Apr 21, 2026

The star of the franchise about a galaxy far, far away, Mark Hamill (“The Long Walk”), who gave audiences the character of Luke Skywalker, said that his three children have completely different attitudes towards the films of the “Star Wars” universe.

In an interview USA Today the actor admitted that not all children are in delighted with the franchise.

Nathan Hamill, who was born during the filming of The Empire Strikes Back (Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back), was present on the set of Return of the Jedi (Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi).

“He was completely into it. He could sit in Yoda's house because he was small." <...> He was in a workshop making creatures, and he was allowed to play with them," Hamill said.

The second son, Griffin, was born during the filming of Return of the Jedi and was not imbued with the world of Star Wars. As the actor said, his second child, who is “more analytical and serious”, considers the films of the franchise to be “too commercial”.

The same can’t be said about Chelsea, Mark Hamill’s daughter. She likes Star Wars.

Hamill last appeared on the big screen in his famous image in the filmStar Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Rise (Star Wars: Episode IX - The Rise of Skywalker).

About a year ago, Mark Hammill said that he would like to see Marvel star, actor Sebastian Stan (“The First Avenger”) in the role of young Luke Skywalker.
