Today is the last day of May. And May appears to be, these days, the de facto Star Wars month. Makes sense, since the earliest movies of the franchise always seemed to be released in May. Also, there is "May the Forth Be With You" and "May the Sith" and all of that. So one more story related to Star Wars for May, which also happens to be one of my vey favorite months of the year.
Mark Hamill always struck me as a decent, likeable guy. Someone not taken by himself or his own professional success. Down to earth and accessible.
Earlier today, I ran into this story, and it seemed worth sharing. This is about how Hamill surprised a dying boy by paying him a visit, and in character as Luke Skywalker.
Another reason to like Mark Hamill.
'Star Wars' star Mark Hamill's extraordinary visit with a dying boy by Allison Slater Tate, Dec. 15, 2017:
When a dying teen asked to meet Luke Skywalker, his dad wasn't sure he could fulfill the wish. Then Mark Hamill called.
