LOS ANGELES – Lucasfilm has released a photo from a recent table read of the new Stars Wars script, revealing the new leads to be John Boyega, Adam Driver, Daisy Ridley, and exciting unknown Mark Hamill.
“We called him in to read just on the off chance that he’d be right for the character,” said director JJ Abrams. “Imagine our surprise when he totally blew us away! I would have never expected that from someone with barely any acting experience.”
“It’s almost like he’s played the role before. He must be a huge fan of the series.”
Hamill is reportedly excited to start his career in the same series of films that launched so many well-respected actors, like Harrison Ford and Natalie Portman, into superstardom.
“It’s tough to get work on the silver screen,” said the fresh-faced Hamill. “I just hope this role will open some doors for me.”
