Star Wars made actor Mark Hamill famous. And while he turned in strong performances in films such as Sam Fuller's war opus , he was never quite able to move out of the shadow of Luke Skywalker.
Yet, even after finding a career as a successful voice actor in cartoons and video games, Hamill has never voiced Skywalker in any of the Star Wars games. But why?
"When I played Luke from 1977 to 1983, games were in their infancy," the actor said in a recent interview with PC Zone. "I talked about turning a page and starting a new chapter. Those movies had a beginning, middle and end, and everyone sort of moved on... I don't really know how to answer that, because I've never been asked to do it. That's fine, though."
The 58-year-old Hamill concedes that he is too old for the role of young Skywalker. "If you're playing Luke the way he was in the films — from his late teens to mid-'20s — I've outgrown the role." But Hamill certainly hasn't outgrown an older Skywalker — certainly ripe material for a game.
Hamill most recently voiced the role of the Joker in Batman: Arkham Asylum, the same character he brought to life in Batman: The Animated Series.
