>Mark Hamill dies in the car accident between Episode IV and Episode V
What do they do? Make Han the main character? Replace Hamill with a new actor?

COMPARISON PICS?
am I alone in thinking he looked basically normal post-accident
"basically normal" is pretty accurate. He doesn't look so fucked up that you'd really think there is something wrong with his face if you didn't know, he just looks like he aged quickly and lost his prettyboy looks. If you know, you definitely notice the difference. He has a different nose and just looks rougher.
These are two different ppl
What really happened is that Mark died, and the original Paul McCartney got out of hiding and took over his career after getting extensive plastic surgery
My favorite thing about 'Paul is Dead' is that if you line up the dates then fake Paul is a better songwriter than real Paul
I guess that's accurate. Given what happened, it's weird that he kinda lucked out (looking somewhat OK) and was screwed (lost the movie star looks) all at once
It's not luck, he would have looked like a sideshow freak if he wasn't the star of the biggest movie ever made. He got cutting edge treatment.
>He got cutting edge treatment
> cutting edge
I think the car accident took care of that part, anon.
Sounds like luck to me
What the fuck are you guys talking about?

Mark says this literally never happened lol
Thanks, I was trying to find this clip. Weird how the myth became canonized.
>I just woke up and I was in the hospital and I knew that I had hurt myself very, very, very badly... but I wasn't really sure. And then someone held a mirror up to my face and I just felt that my career was over.
Mark's always been downplaying it. We can all see his face changed.
Here's what Carrie Fisher said:
>I was still shooting 'Star Wars' when Mark got into the car accident... It was a really bad accident. Miraculously his teeth didn't shatter. But his nose did. He had to have some of his ear put into his nose. So they adjusted the film with this snow monster to right away in the movie scratch his face to account for his looks being different.
Is Mark just a troll?
>Car Accident 1977
>Empire Strikes Back 1980
Yeah, I'm inclined to believe Mark on this one. It was all healed up years later and I doubt anyone cared to add that specific scene when he didn't look that different.
>I doubt anyone cared to add that specific scene when he didn't look that different.
>t. faceblind
shut it, bitch. even the host of the show didn't think he looked much different
Here's another account from Mark which makes it seem much worse:
>"At 5 a.m. on the morning of the shoot Lucas' phone rang. Gary Kurtz broke the news that Mark Hamill had been involved in a serious car accident...Hamill woke up that morning amid a scene from an episode of M*A*S*H*. "There's a guy moaning next to me, and some intern says 'We're gonna take him next because he's in worse shape than you are, and you're in pretty bad shape,'" Hammill recalled. "And he holds a mirror up to my face and it looks like a rasberry pie. My nose was off". Hamill recalled nothing of the accident. He later discovered that his new BMW had catapulted off the road and rolled thirty feet down a steep incline before hitting the ground. Eventually his nose would be rebuilt using cartilage from his ear."
From 'Empire Building' by Gary Jenkins (page 135)
>And he holds a mirror up to my face and it looks like a rasberry pie. My nose was off
Shiiiieeeeet.
George told Mark he would have killed Luke off and wouldn’t recast. I don’t know who would be the lead in this case, probably a new character.
jesus christ can you imagine how shitty that would have been?
at the same time, that probably would have killed off star wars as a franchise so maybe it would have been for the best.
>jesus christ can you imagine how shitty that would have been?
Yeah imagine if a lead Star Wars actor died inbetween films and they made the movie anyway out of scraps and deleted scenes from the previous movie?
>star wars as a franchise so maybe it would have been for the best.
I assume that time travellers have already killed off the lead actors or even more insufferable franchises. We're just left with Star Wars which isn't as bad by comparison.
Very likely what would have happened is that a new character would have been written in to replace Luke, but would be a carbon copy. And no exposition whatsoever about what happened to Luke Skywalker.
>Opening shot is of X-Wing being blown up by Starfighter
>Oh I guess Luke's dead, Han you take over until we get the black guy settled in
Leia could have stepped in to the lead tbh. It works in in the plot and isn't a huge stretch, he already had her doing more actiony shit
I actually want to see this, how do I travel to the universe where Mark Hamill died?
reality shifting, which requires knowledge of astral projection
but that is assuming that reality shifting is real, the last time I looked on /x/ most of the astral projectors were calling reality shifting fake
Thank GOD we never lived that timeline. But as a speculation point, I've wondered the same thing. I would have voted for a recast, Luke is just too important of a character.
whoever replaced him would end up drinking blue milk and being in awe of rey
what a horrid thing to wish on someone
After Disney raped this franchise, I have zero inclination whatsoever to even discuss the old movies
then evil has already won
This. Never give up. Never surrender. Trust your instincts!
Be like me and pretend that there are only the original 3 movies and the droid cartoon and dark forces and that win95 yoda game.
He didn’t die he was in the next movie
What are you talking about? Star Wars 2 hasn't even been announced
it would’ve been Leia. movies like Alien/s and Terminator 1&2 were not that far into the future from when Empire was being produced. Lando might have become a more important character, and Leia would’ve been the one to redeem Vader.
Astute take and film historypilled.
They just never make Star Wars 2, Carrie Fisher probably has a longer, more fulfilling life.

>Luke is dead
>Meet Luuke
i think they would have used what the rise of skywalker did with leia and use the deleted scenes of luke but with worse rotoscoping. it opens with the scene of luke at the vaporator seeing something in the sky and talking to his friends from the first movie. the scenes with biggs are edited to be with han and leia who are the main characters showing how luke stays behind. a vision of obi wan shows up and tells luke to find a lost jedi temple and we cut to his x wing flying off. all scenes with yoda are with leia and han now as they learn they also have the force when the falcon crashes on dagobah before they head to cloud city. later in the film the biggs scene at the rebel base is used for luke reuniting with leia at cloud city. leia and luke (body double) escape and body double luke duels vader who reveals he is his father. luke is disguised as a stormtrooper to get into cloud city so a modulated voice is used. luke falls into the pit and is presumed dead but at the end of the film he is brought back to life in a light colored version of Vaders robes and a new voice actor
>i think they would have used what the rise of skywalker did with leia and use the deleted scenes of luke but with worse rotoscoping.
I don't think even Lucas had that kinda tech back in the late 70s anon.
Has anyone here seen Trail of the Pink Panther? I'd imagine it'd be like that. Basically Petter Sellers died before making the film so it's almost entirely deleted scenes from the previous movies, augmented with a couple of scraps to fill the gaps and a really obvious stand-in that you only ever see from behind. And once they'd run out of actual Sellers material a lot of the rest of the film is some journalist trying to find Closeau by interviewing actors from the previous movies who then just talk about funny shit Closeau did rather than actually showing you funny shit. It's quite dreadful and almost completely incoherent. I'd imagine a Lukeless Star Wars from the 70s/80s would've probably been similar (if made at all.)
Reminds me of that the sixth Puppet Master movie, which was just made up of clips of the previous movies with a shitty wrap around story. That wasn't a case of the actor dying though... Charles Band just didn't want to spend any damn money because the rental market bubble dried up.
Is that the one where the legitimately retarded guy who worked at the gas station hooks up with a hottie?
Very possible, I only saw it once. It did have something to do with a young guy getting with a girl, and the girl's father was experimenting on turning humans into puppets, and so he turned the guy into a puppet.
Oh. I almost forgot: one of the deleted scenes is basically just an alternate version of a scene from the previous movie but with a different actor (Harvey Corman.) So it's literally almost the exact same scene from the last movie just with Harvey Corman playing the character now. It's fucking bizarre if you watch all the movies in order one-after-the-other. It's like stepping into an alternate dimension for 5 minutes.
wow who knew a "car accident" can change hair and eye color (and also height/voice).
Yeah it's mostly just the nose that's different but it did age him like 10 years almost overnight
>Be literally autistic
>Probably somewhat faceblind
>Can't see a difference even side-by-side
we would have gotten the saga of dak, the only man who could single handedly fight the empire
>What do they do?
Recast with a lookalike, then reshoot the scenes of Mark in ep4 with said lookalike and only ever air that on tv and only release the new version on video tape.
Time travel ain't easy kid
Did Luke actually do anything in ANH? He's easily replaceable before ESB
Saved the princess and blew up the Death Star. He doesn't have as much of a character arc as in Empire/Jedi but it's still there
That's the point. He's no Mary Sue. He's a young, naive farm boy who gets swept up and away on a fantastical adventure
