When did this happen? I don't remember hearing anything about this over the years. He still looks exactly the same to me, just older.

Regardless of his poor acting he would bring studios money because people would know (and like) Hamill from Star Wars. But then again I wasn't around back in the OT days so I wouldn't know how people felt about Hamill after Star Wars was made.

Also his guest spot on the Simpsons had tons of Skywalker references in it. If he truely hated Luke, he wouldn't have done it.

Warwick Davis was also in Harry Potter. What pisses me off the most is that all these "costume" actors like Davis and Jeremy Bulloch (Boba Fett) charge $20 a pop for autographs at cons! Freaking insane. A few years back at San Diego I got autographs from the cast of The Crow: Salvation, including Kirsten Dunst for free. But 3 booths away Warwick Davis was charging $20! WTF?!?
Oh, and Terrel might be referring to Hamill's comic book work as well. Black Pearl if I remember correctly... maybe some others.

One of the reasons that Hamill's career was hurt had nothing to do with Lucas or his acting abilities. He was badly hurt in an accident which impared his ability to act. One reason he was so stiff in the last movie was due to this accident.
