Original "Star Wars" cast member Mark Hamill held a Reddit Q&A on Jan. 22, and the only thing fans wanted the actor to dish on was "Star Wars Episode 7".
Hamill tried his best to dodge the questions, distracting fans with other behind-the-scenes info for previous "Star Wars" flicks, but ended up addressing the film to appease his admirers.
Check out the five best quotes from Hamill during the Reddit Q&A below. Click here to look through the questions on Reddit.
1.Samuel L. Jackson Has A Rare Purple Light Saber
"I just worked with Samuel L Jackson and he reminded me he had a purple lightsaber, which nobody had, I thought that was cool that he got his own color. My favorite is green, I'm happy with what I had. You don't need to give me lavender or raw umber or whatever."
2. Old Man Luke: Beard or No Beard?
"I have a feeling it's beard, but I have no confirmation of that. My wife said if you grow a beard, you'll cover up your cleft chin. That's not something that occurred to me. But I can only guess. I've never read any of the novelizations or anything but someone said to me, 'you're married, you have children.' Based on Obi-Wan I would have guessed I'd be living in an igloo or something."
3. Hamill Didn't Imagine "Star Wars" Would Be A Box Office Hit
"I didn't expect it to be a critical success, I thought people would like it, because it took so many elements from movies we were familiar with, pirate, cowboy movies, war movies, and added humor. That's the thing that got me. Science fiction usually isn't funny. They have an 8 ft furry dog driving a spaceship, he's naked except headphones, that's funny. Even if it doesn't get great reviews it'll be a cult movie. People will go watch it at midnight because it's so unique. I thought it would be popular but never thought it would be on the cover of Time magazine."
4. Hamill Was The Third Person To Know Darth Vader Was Luke's Father
"Irvin Kirshner brought me aside, and said "I know this, George knows this, and you'll be the third person who knows. If it goes out we'll know you leaked it." So i was terrified of being the one to ruin it. I remember when they screened it, Harrison turned around and said 'I didn't know that! Why the f*&^ didn't you tell me?!' I'm good at keeping secrets. Especially when the goal it to maximize the enjoyment of the audience. That's why I'm worried about episode 7, they're going after casting sheets!"
5. Comment on Carrie Fisher spilling details about "Star Wars Episode 7"
"The only character I know for sure is returning is my friend R2-D2. He hasn't stopped beeping about it."
