As a huge fan of Star Wars and Mark Hamill’s iconic portrayal of Luke Skywalker, I can’t help but be in awe of his dedication to bringing the beloved character back to life for the sequel trilogy. However, it’s hard not to feel a pang of concern when I read about the dangerous conditions he and other original cast members faced during filming.
Mark Hamill became well-known due to “Star Wars,” but preparing for and filming his role as Luke Skywalker in the new trilogy came very close to being fatal for him.
As a gamer, I can tell you that Luke’s scenes in “Star Wars: Episode VIII — The Last Jedi” were filmed in a breathtakingly beautiful yet treacherous location – Ahch-To, specifically Skelling Michael in Ireland. This place was transformed into the films’ home for adorable porgs and perilous pathways. Let me tell you, it wasn’t a walk in the park or even a golf cart ride. I’ve played many survival games, but this set would have given me a run for my money!
Episode V — The Empire Strikes Back” reportedly took a heavy toll on Hamill. However, it seems that the making of the subsequent films presented their own set of difficulties.
The Star Wars sequels were treacherous for the original cast
During the premier of “The Last Jedi,” Mark Hamill shared with SFX Magazine through GamesRadar+ about his experience climbing Skelling Michael for the film. I remember him saying, “There was this experienced mountain climber guide trailing behind me to prevent any mishaps and save me if I slipped.” If I were to slip off that cliff and meet my end, not only would it be a tragic loss, but also an expensive one – after all, I’m a valuable asset!
In the 1970s, Hamill feared that a car accident he was involved in would derail his budding career with the upcoming release of “A New Hope.” Luckily, Luke Skywalker became his iconic role instead, but an accident on the set of “Return of the Jedi” could have changed things dramatically. Despite their hard work that day, filming the sequels was no easy task for another veteran “Star Wars” actor.
During the filming of “Star Wars: Episode VII — The Force Awakens,” Harrison Ford sustained severe injuries when the Millennium Falcon’s door unexpectedly crashed down on his left hip, shattering bones in his leg and dislocating his ankle. remarkably, this incident occurred before any cameras were rolling for that particular scene. J.J. Abrams, the film’s director, was also injured while trying to lift the heavy door off Ford. These unfortunate events serve as a potent reminder of the significance of maintaining strict set safety protocols, even during seemingly innocuous moments without cameras in action.
