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.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
