9 Mark Hamill Quotes That Made Him Somehow Even MORE Awesome

Personally speaking, Mark Hamill is one of my most favorite actors. A lot of people probably know him as Luke Skywalker from the Star Wars franchise, while to others, he is known for voicing The Joker in several Batman cartoons and video games.

With that being said, let's take a look at some of the things Hamill has said that was either completely savage, relatable or just made him seem more awesome in general.

1. "You know how there are some stars out there who know how to market themselves? I don't have that."

As one who creates content myself, I can relate to this on a spiritual level. It's nice to know Mark and I have something in common. But hey, we all have room for improvement, right?

2. "I have failed 'Star Wars' trivia tests. People come up to me at conventions and use terms that I've never heard of."

I've seen only a few of the "Star Wars" movies. While I know enough about "Star Wars" to hold a small, lighthearted conversation about it, I can now be at ease knowing Luke Skywalker himself also doesn't even know Star Wars lingo.

3. "I debated in high school! If you told things that weren't true or just made things out of whole cloth, you were penalized. It's too bad they don't apply the same standards to presidential candidates as they do to high school student."

I'm just gonna leave that there. *sips tea* But really, though. I find it disappointing that, even today, a high school debate student is held to a higher standard than a presidential candidate for the United States.

4. "I love the fact that, one time, my face was on the back of a cereal box — probably C-3PO's — and it was a mask where you cut out the eye holes and put a string through the side. It makes me feel like I'm 11 years old all over again."

It's been said there's a kid in all of us. I believe this quote shows us a more playful side of Hamill. He was also able to convince us that he could pull off C-3PO.

5. "So much of life is what you roll and where you land."

Every choice you make in life has an outcome whether it's good or bad. For some reason, this quote makes me think of Monopoly or Dungeons and Dragons. Which could make for a good metaphor of life.

6. "People think being remembered most for one character is a negative thing, but I don't. I never expected to be remembered for anything!"

Boy, can some of us relate. But all silliness aside, I completely agree with Hamill here. I mean come on, he played one of the most iconic movie characters of all time. There's nothing wrong at all for being remembered just for that.

7. "I live in sort of an insular world. It's mostly my family, my house, staying home and working."

As someone who identifies as a complete homebody, I can for sure relate to this. These days, my circle remains small, and my life basically revolves around school, family, and my cats.

8. [On Twitter] "My favorite part of #TheForceAwakens was in the credits where they spelled my name correctly.

My name occasionally gets misspelled "Johannah" instead of "Johanna." So it's definitely a relief when people spell my name right the first time without asking me to spell it out for them. *eye roll emoji*

9. "The idea of The Force is basically 'Religions Greatest Hits'."

This one really got me thinking. If you think about it, The Force is pretty much the religion of the galaxy. While it is meant to be used for good, there are sometimes where people use it for evil. Much like they do religion.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
