Mark Hamill Ducks Star Wars Question in Reddit AMA

Assuming it’s true, the fact that Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford are returning to reprise their Star Wars trilogy characters in the upcoming, J.J. Abrams-directed Star Wars Episode VII, it’s the worst-kept secret in Hollywood.It came up again today when Hamill did a Reddit AMA in support of the Make-A-Wish Foundation, which he is supporting with a drawing for donors to enter to win a chance at a Skywalker Ranch day with Hamill himself.”I love this organization,” Hamill said. “I’ve helped them over the years, but they’ll never be able to top Batkid, that was the most amazing feel good story. The way the community turned out. it’s something you can go to when you’re feeling particularly depressed about how rotten people are, usually when you’re watching politics. Then Batkid comes along. The mayor, the sports icons, rescuing the lady that was tied up, it was just too much. It was amazing. That kid couldn’t have been cuter if it was a cartoon that Disney drew.”When it came to another Disney property, though, Hamill quieted down–albeit somewhat cleverly. Asked about rumors that he and his co-stars would be back for more Star Wars when the new movie starts filming this year, Hamill replied, “The only character I know for sure is returning is my friend R2-D2. He hasn’t stopped beeping about it.”Hamill did weigh in unabashedly on the subject of the Star Wars Holiday Special, saying that he knew from the beginning what it was going to turn out like.
