Trivia[]

  • Tetsuya Nomura, the director of Birth by Sleep, stated in an interview that he chose Hamill for the part specifically because of his role as Luke Skywalker in the original Star Wars films. Eraqus is rivals with Xehanort, who is voiced by Star Trek actor Leonard Nimoy, essentially making their rivalry Star Wars vs. Star Trek to Nomura.
  • Hamill stated at Comic-Con 2010 that portraying Luke Skywalker was his overall favorite role.
  • Hamill originally wanted to play the Vulture in Spider-Man: Homecoming, only in the case if Michael Keaton didn't accept the offer. Keaton initially turned down the offer to play the Vulture, but in the end, he entered in re-negotiations and ended up portraying the character in the film. However, Hamill had stated that he could play another role in a further Marvel Cinematic Universe in the near future.[2]
  • Of all his characters, Hamill plays the Joker with a high, squeaky tone and Luke with a lower, more mature tone.
