STAR WARS: The First Look At Luke Skywalker

Posted on March 19, 2017 by Niall Browne in News

Mark Hamill believes this image is the first time Luke Skywalker was ever caught on camera in costume. Taken in the Tunisian desert, this is from Hamill’s first day on the set of George Lucas’ Star Wars (aka Star Wars: A New Hope) in 1976.

Who knew what lay ahead?

Judging by my clueless expression, probably both. Crew was kind but thought #SW was "rubbish"-I kept telling them"We're on a winner!"#LOLuke https://t.co/S6mzZbWLvD
