Mark Hamill nearly lost his life in between StarWars: 'A New Hope' and 'The Empire Strikes Back.' What happened?
When the George Lucas science fiction epic Star Wars: A New Hope took the world by storm in 1977, it starred a relatively unknown Mark Hamill in the lead role of a young Luke Skywalker. Hamill may not have been the most established actor working in Hollywood at the time, but he certainly looked the part. Women swooned in the late 70s unable to get enough of his feathered blonde hair, dreamy blue eyes, and California smile.

There are a couple of rumors still floating around whether Lucas, along with co-writer Lawrence Kasdan added a scene at the very beginning of The Empire Strikes Back to explain away the golden boy's post-accident surgery and scarring.
