So why didnt Mark Hamill's (Luke Skywalker) career skyrocket like Harrison Ford's?

[FoBoT]

i thought it was because Hamill was a pussy and Ford was a hunk, like all the chicks dig Harrison Ford but nobody thought Hamill was a sexy beast

I'm disappointed...a whole thread about Mark Hamill's later roles and not a single picture or mention of him as Cock Knocker!

Ugh. Why? Because that movie was retarded. So is Kevin Smith. There. I said it. OOOOooooOOOOOooooOOOooo... HERESY!

 

[DAPUNISHER]

Mark tried to cash in on his fame from SW, by starring in Corvett Summer. That movie was so bad, it killed any hopes for further film success outside of being Luke.

 

[CallMeJoe]

Harrison Ford can act.
Mark Hamill was Luke Warmwater.

 

[Marinski]

Even Lando Callirisian got more chicks than Hammill

how rich was he from starwars anyways?
maybe he didn't have to work as well.

anyone could play Luke Skywalker.

But only Harrison Ford could play Han Solo.

Because he was always too goofy. It worked for star wars.

Only watch it if it's the Uncut version.

I'd say Ford had him in the looks dept by a long shot. Plus you got the impression in the original Star Wars movies Ford was the better actor.

 

[Gunbuster]

Live action Guyver movie...

Yeah.

It's a parallel to the star wars story. Han fought the empire tooth and nail. Flying though the galaxy, doging bouty hunters and getting laid.

Luke on the other hand spent all his free time shooting wombats and playing with a muppet. The only useful thing he ever did is help free Han.

Actually, he was "bullseyeing womprats" but I digress.

Harrisson Ford was becoming George Lucas's "Bobby DeNiro", an allusion to the number of Scorsese films that DeNiro starred in. He noticed that and started looking for other roles. He was clearly the more talented and more marketable actor.
