Couple days or so ago, many sites reported that Mark Hamill almost met his maker when filming Star Wars The Force Awakens. We were all thankful that he didn’t meet his demise, but something didn’t feel right when I thought about reporting it. There was no quote from Hamill. No real source, but just sources reporting from set. How do we know it was true? Well according to Mr. Skywalker himself, it wasn’t true. The tweet below was posted by Mark Hamill, debunking his near death on those steps he almost fell down. Glad I didn’t post the video, and can’t wait to see set photos of him on set of Star Wars 8, if they actually get released.
This story is completely untrue. Don't know how this story got started, but filming went splendidly, thanks. https://t.co/xwoliRV51L
