Mark Hamill became an icon thanks to his role in “Star Wars,” but he didn’t quite believe certain aspects of the movie at first.

Mark Hamill very nearly pulled “an Ellen DeGeneres” and left the U.S. to avoid Donald Trump. The Star Wars star was speaking to The Times of London on Saturday when he revealed that he strongly considered the move after Trump was elected the second time.

Star Wars actor Mark Hamill initially thought George Lucas' 1977 space opera was a spoof of Flash Gordon when he first read the script and the director nor his co-star Harrison Ford gave him any advice on how to approach his character Luke Skywalker.
