Mark being so "aw shucks" about the whole thing just adds to that warm 'n fuzzy feeling about this movie.

I'm starting to hope some of those Luke rumors aren't true. I don't think my heart could take it.
 
So I think that eventually, Luke has to talk with Yoda one last time. I can go without him talking to Obi-Wan but I also wouldn't shake my head at Ewan playing old Ben.
 
I'd like them to never show up again. I feel like seeing them as ghosts in ROTJ was a way of saying goodbye.
 
According to twitter reports, Hamill showed up for Jason Reitman's Star Wars live read of TESB and played the roles of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Emperor Palpatine.

He did. I volunteered at the event and it was a complete mystery to everyone. Reitman introduced the cast that we knew about. Simmons was Vader and was escorted to stage by several Stormtroopers.
Reitman looked at the cast and said it felt like he needed more people...so then he introduced Rainn Wilson as Chewbacca....he looks again and says they need more and Introduced Mark Hamill as Obi Wan and The Emperor.
He did a pretty spot on imitation of Alec Guiness but the Emperor sounded like a darker version of Joker without the laughing.
 
EXTRA - What’s It Like Being Back on the Millennium Falcon? Mark Hamill Talks Next ‘Star Wars’

Hamill: First of all, it's interesting to see someone at the helm who was a fan for the originals with J.J.. It’s really about setting it up for a new generation.

Hamill: But again, the deja vu of walking on--[thinks] can I say this? is this...I can say this--walking onto the Millennium Falcon. Which again, I'm remembering all these details that they’ve gotten exactly right from photographs I guess and old blue prints. I can't describe the feeling. Even now it still seems surreal to me and it seems hard to believe it’s actually happening.

I can't wait to see the first look at Hamill in this. I'm smiling just thinking about it

That's gotta be the most anticipated reveal. All these years, pre-Disney, I've always pictured an older Luke in Obi-Wan type rags but I think we're gonna get a totally unexpected look for him.
 
If by chance they adapt some EU and Ben Skywalker is played by Gleeson, it would be interesting if instead of having a romantic relationship with Mara Jade, he "used the midechloreans to create...life"
 
It would be a cold day in hell when they were used the 'mideochloreans' concept again in Star Wars. It's the worst thing that ever happened to the mythos; they'll never use it again verbally or symbolically in the movies.

Right, I hate them too. Just saying...okay uses the Force to conceive a baby in someone he never slept with. Maybe he's doing that to everyone. Or maybe he did it once and exiled himself because of it.
 
A planet hidden in the glow of light emanating from inside it, located somewhere "in the heart of the galaxy," was the homeworld to the midi-chlorians. Its surface appeared barren and heavily damaged, but life was plentiful in large open spaces deep beneath the ground. The planet was hidden in the Force, and also appeared to negatively affect mechanical and electronic devices.
 
LA Times Hero Complex - Mark Hamill: Actor talks ‘Kingsman’ cameo, ‘Star Wars’ anticipation

...

HC: 2015 is really shaping up to be quite a year for you — first, “Kingsman,” you’re reprising your role as the Trickster for the CW’s “The Flash.” And then, of course, there’s “The Force Awakens.”

MH: I’m just a working stiff. I’ve been plugging away. Sometimes you wish, especially when I was on Broadway, people would take more notice, but it ebbs and it flows. What’s been fun about what’s been happening recently is how unexpected all of this is. I thought even if they make another trilogy they’re not going to use Luke and Leia and Han, it will be about the new generation. I’m still stunned. I did it and I still can’t believe it happened. Trickster, same thing. I was thrilled they used John Wesley Shipp – he’s a wonderful actor with a mantle full of Emmys to prove it. The fact that they’ve acknowledged the past and had him play Barry’s father was one of the reasons I tuned in. I’m a hopeless comic book nerd, so I would have watched anyway. I was watching the show, my daughter Chelsea’s a fan, so when they called and asked me to be on it I was assuming I’d play a contemporary of John’s, who knows? A university professor like in “Kingsman,” I didn’t know.

When they said the Trickster, I just had to laugh. I think they’re really smart the way they’ve handled this show, balancing between reality and the fantasy. I said, “I don’t want it to be age inappropriate.” What looked good 20 years ago might look foolish at my age, running around. But wait until you see what they’ve done. There’s a new Trickster, Devon Graye, it’s just a knockout performance by this kid. I didn’t really see what he was doing with the role until the very last day … when he confesses his devotion to the original Trickster and how much I’d meant to him, he’d just moved me deeply. It’s just naked emotion and I was stunned.

HC: Are you being approached more often these days by excited “Star Wars” fans eager to discuss “The Force Awakens”?

MH: Occasionally you’ll meet fans that feel the way I did when I met George Harrison. You just feel like if you open your mouth you’re going to lose it. You’re re-reminded of the impact that it had on some people. It had a beginning, a middle and an end for me. It was nice, but it was over. I didn’t have a problem with the prequels because it was like they’re playing with my toys but I’m not in the rec room anymore. I’ve moved out of the house. I didn’t feel possessive of it in any way, shape or form. The same when they were planning this third set of stories. I would have been completely OK with it not including us, but I do think having the original cast members there gives it a sense of continuity and scope. But mind you, it’s really about the new generation, it’s not about us.

HC: The first day you were back on set playing Luke Skywalker once more must have been incredibly surreal.

MH: Oh, my God! It’s just crazy town. First of all, the security. We had problems before with people leaking stuff, but I was saying to them, “Is it really necessary to put on this giant robe with a hood that hangs down to your chest to go from my trailer to the soundstage?” They said, “Drones.” I said, “You’re kidding! Really?”… I wish people would just relax. We’re not trying to play games with people. We just want to maximize their experience at the movies where it should be seen and not have it leaked over the Internet. Believe me, it will be here before you know it. Forget about it, that’s my advice. Look forward to all the summer movies. I’m telling you, it’s just a movie. These people that build it up in their minds like it’s going to be the second coming of, I don’t know what — they’re bound to be disappointed.

It’s exciting from the standpoint that it’s the first of the movies in that universe that’s conceived and directed by the fan generation. We’ve never had that before. Now, Larry Kasdan is one of the old-timers like us, but the captain of the ship is J.J. Abrams and he was a fan of the series, which I find very interesting. They’re going to have an input into how things are done in a way that was impossible in the more autonomous period of George’s [Lucas] reign. I hope it’s a hit!

I love Mark Hamill, he is so humble and thankful for having been Luke Skywalker. Both then and now...
