Mark Hammil really underwent a transformation in the last few years
 

Mark Hammil from a couple years ago:

Mark Hammil now:

He went from looking like a washed out old slob to actually getting back into shape and now he looks extremely good for his age. Its hard to believe that these two pics are of the same person and they're only a few years apart.

My god, think if Mark Hammil always kept in shape? So glad to see he looks good again because he was looking terrible in the 90's and 2000's.

Again, not true. He looked perfectly healthy in the Wing Commander games.

It was more in the middle of the 2000s he kind of stopped caring about his health a bit. He probably said to himself, "Well, sh*t, I'm 60, no one's really knocking down my door to star in any more movies. And it's not like I'm ever going to play Luke Skywalker again. Wait, what? I am?? Oh sh*t..." and had to scramble about it.

Man is capable of many things... when they cut the right check. :trazz:

Chris Pratt had an awesome "transformation" between parks and rec and GOTG.

Did you seriously start a new thread for this? Jesus.

I know! I was thinking the same thing! Those abs man.

Again, money's a great incentive. :tlol:

Wish somebody'd throw me a couple hundred grand to work out. Win/win!

Exactly what I thought.

Well its not just relating to Episode 7, Mark Hammil is more than just Luke Skywalker after all.

He also did a semi-comeback in Kingsman but with a British accent.

^^Essentially. He was keeping busy doing a bunch of voice over work either way.
Plus The beard/scruffle helps hide a good amount of face wrinkles.

Come to think of it I don't think I've ever watched anything Mark Hammil is in outside of Star Wars and his voices for cartoons like The Joker in B:TAS.

Are there any other good movies with him worth watching?

He plays a minor role in Kingsmen that came out back in January. It is an interesting film. Hamill and Samuel L. Jackson both were highlights of the film along with that out there Free Bird scene.

Here is your answer to Hamill's physical transformation. Powder is right. Around the time of Revenge of the Sith and he did minor press related to it and shopped the idea of Luke turning to the darkside he was like Cat-Man, but it lasted only a couple of years before he got back in shape. Perhaps it was partially due to most of his work being VA opposed to being on screen.

A fat slob with his best years behind him of being known for little in 2001.


He found himself and got into shape amongst a pack of lions and went badass by 2005.

Here's both Mark and Carrie Fisher:

Goddamn, they both look about 10 years younger now. Harrison Ford aged the best out of all of them (which is surprising since he's also a good 10 years old than them), but now Luke/Leia look much better.

Its hard to believe how much they let themselves go. Thank god this movie came out and they got trainers to whip them back into shape. Carrie Fisher even confirmed they told her she had to lose 10lbs for the movie.

Who cares? Is this really thread worthy?

Because Hollywood icons like Luke and Leia losing weight is serious business.

Nah, not really.

Well is Star Wars not big in your country?

I've been seeing ads for it everyday for like 2 months now. Even telecommunications operators and supermarkets are using Darth Vader's and light sabers imagery to promote their products. Not to mention all my FB friends posting SW memes and such everyday. I personally don't care about SW other than the 3 classic movies, though. And haven't watched those in over a decade.

Well if you aren't interested in Star Wars that's probably why. For those of us excited to see these old classic actors back in action, especially after they let themselves go over the last decade and got fat and old, its amazing to see them back in shape and now look how they should have been over the last 10-15 years.

I hope they stay this way even after the movies finish filming, they look great and its much more healthy for them.

Fair enough, man. But, I dunno, couldn't you just have posted this in the Star Wars thread? I don't think there was a need to make a thread just for this, but wtv. I'm no authority here.

^^I kinda agree. But Cubed gets a pass.;)

I call it Cubism.

^^ I approve wholeheartedly

There's an interview with Carrie Fisher like mentioned earlier in the post she seems angry at people asking her about her weight loss and blaming Hollywood while it's definitely her fault she got fat and had drug problems, she needs to stop blaming people. In the text interviews she comes off extremely bitter but at least she's definitely tongue in cheek in the video, she also has a dry sense of humor which the internet doesn't get very well and over react about it. Same with Lucas, his humor has always been very dry and I saw a couple of weeks ago all these headlines about how he "broke up" with SW or whatever as if he were bitter about it but if you watch the interview you can see that he's kidding for the most part.

Carrie was absolutely amazing in that QI Christmas special with her it.
Seems like a very funny and nice lady. She even remembered a really long quote from A New Hope.

Yeah both her and Lucas seem like awesome people, you may not agree with them on some things but their humor is fantastic, they're aware of what is happening so they play with it and it's hilarious and yet everyone overreacts. Carrie clearly has always been critical of Hollywood and I always read her interviews as being angry/bitter, but now I see that while it's definitely her opinion at least she has fun about it. Same with Lucas and Star Wars, sure he doesn't like how he is criticized about everything he does so he plays around with that and yet people misinterpret that and start bashing him more. Internet idiots can't tell the difference and it's annoying because there's a hive mind about these things and you can't get anywhere in a discussion.

Nice one :lol:
