Mark Hamill is excited about his newest role, which he likens to his experience with his iconic role as Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars franchise. It is difficult to even imagine the Star Wars franchise without Mark Hamill. The series kicked off in 1977 with a self-titled movie (retroactively titled A New Hope), which starred Hamill as Luke Skywalker, a farm boy from a backwater planet who finds himself caught up in a space version of Akira Kurosawa’s The Hidden Fortress (1958). Along with his co-stars Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford, Hamill became an immediate pop culture icon via Star Wars.

A brand-new version of Freddy Krueger has emerged from the dream world. A Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) is a bona fide classic. Though it enjoyed numerous follow-ups — five sequels, a spinoff, a crossover movie, a reboot of the 1984 film, and even a television series — none of those films hold a candle to Wes Craven’s landmark horror (except for 1987’s A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors, which is awesome).
