Mark Hamill is having way too much fun making these new Star Wars movies two decades after the original films were released.
From dressing up like a Stormtrooper and chatting with oblivious fans to the giving out the most hilarious autographs he seems to be having the time of his life.
Then again he has been voicing The Joker in cartoons and video games for years and played The Trickster on TV (more than once) so it’s no wonder he’s picked up a few things along the way.
One of the things Hammil has obviously learned is the fine art of toying with Star Wars fans feelings by ingeniously trolling them on social media.
For instance, just the other day Hamill announced that he was “given the go-ahead” to give out “a brief glimpse” of the Star Wars: Episode 8 trailer.
THRILLING NEWS! Got the go-ahead from @rianjohnson to give #UPFS a brief glimpse of an #EP8 TRAILER! RU READY #HAMSTERS ? #StayTuned4Details

Needless to say, many fans were about creaming their pants waiting for him to officially drop this monumental sneak peek on them.
Did I mention that Hamill has played The Joker and The Trickster many times over the past 20 years?
Oh yeah, because here’s the trailer he promised…

Naturally, some who know Hamill better than others were not surprised…
