Sending out birthday wishes to Mark Hamill today!

A proud member of Team Luke Skywalker since 1977. In fact, I'm quite certain that I had this very photo -- carefully cut from the back page of 16 Magazine -- taped to my bedroom wall when I was in junior high.

Mark Hamill turns 64 today and is in the midst of filming the new Star Wars final trilogy. Oh the joy! The rapture!

Let's settle back and listen to some of the themes associated with his ultimate heroic-archetype Star Wars character.
