Mark Hamill had the most heartbreaking reaction to the death of James Earl Jones

Legendary actor James Earl Jones has died at the age of 93.

Legendary actor James Earl Jones has died at the age of 93.

Jones, who won several awards for his acting during his iconic professional career, portrayed Darth Vader in the original Star Wars series. He performed alongside Mark Hamill, who played Luke Skywalker.

As a tribute to Jones for their time on film together, Hamill referenced one of the most memorable moments in film history when (spoiler alert decades late here) Dath Vader revealed he was actually Skywalker’s father.

He tweeted “#RIP Dad” with a broken heart emoji. This shows the kind of impact Jones had on not only his fans but his film colleagues as well.

Bubba Wallace and Mark Hamill unveil Star Wars-themed paint scheme for NASCAR season finale

Gotta love a Star Wars-themed NASCAR paint scheme.

Bubba Wallace’s paint scheme for the last race of the 2023 NASCAR Cup Series season is straight out of a galaxy far, far away.

With the help of Star Wars actor Mark Hamill, Wallace unveiled the No. 23 23XI Racing Toyota’s final paint scheme of the season for Sunday’s championship event at Phoenix Raceway — though Wallace and the No. 23 team were previously eliminated from contention. And it’s an awesome silver and black Star Wars-themed ride with strong Millennium Falcon vibes.

Highlighting sponsor Columbia’s new Star Wars collection, Wallace shows up to Hamill’s door in the reveal video, dressed in a fire suit resembling the design of X-wing pilot suits from the franchise, including a look Hamill wore as Luke Skywalker. Hamill compliments Wallace’s outfit before tossing him the “keys” to the No. 23 Toyota.

“Remember, Bubba, the force will be with you — always,” Hamill says at the end.

A great paint scheme reveal, especially for Star Wars fans, who might be a bit jealous of this car’s look, including self-described aspiring Jedi Ryan Blaney.

Update: Wallace’s 23XI Racing teammate, Tyler Reddick, has a Star Wars-inspired ride too.

Mark Hamill had a hilarious response to seeing the 1st draft of ‘The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special’

Star Wars did NOT do well with their Holiday Special.

Mark Hamill, the actor who played Luke Skywalker in Star Wars, knows how poorly a holiday special can go. When the Star Wars franchise made one, it was — by far — the worst thing the studio created. And that’s saying something, considering how much of a flop the prequels were.

So it was funny to see Hamill react to The Guardians of the Galaxy Holiday Special on Twitter. Hamill quoted the character Han Solo (and so many others) — “I have a very bad feeling about this” — when he saw director James Gunn share an image of a completed first draft of the script.

Here’s a look at the interaction.

Perfect.

Come on, this holiday special can’t possibly be worse than the one Star Wars made? Whispers: right?
