Mark Hamill At Last Night's ROTJ Screening In LA
There was no announcement at Disney World on the evening of May the Fourth, but attendees at a special screening of Return of the Jedi at Entertainment Weekly’s CapeTown Film Festival did get the chance to see a surprise guest last night: Luke Skywalker himself, Mark Hamill! You can find complete recaps of what Hamill discussed at IGN, Ain't It Cool News, and The Official Star Wars Blog (whose story includes an interview with Hamill). Here are some of his remarks to the audience:
"if it leaks, we'll know who leaked it" - What @hamillhimself recalls Irvin Kershner telling him when he revealed Vader was Luke's father.
