HOLLYWOOD ¨C It all started a long time ago (1977 to be precise) in a galaxy far, far away ¡ª er, Hollywood. Six films and billions of dollars in merchandising later, the world awaits the arrival of ¡°Star Wars: The Force Awakens.¡±

¡°I¡¯m as excited as anyone,¡± says Mark Hamill, now 64 and still best known as ¡°Star Wars¡± hero Luke Skywalker. ¡°To think, I hesitated ... like, I even didn¡¯t want it to happen. Not with us older guys.¡±
