During a press tour for "
Elf: Buddy’s Musical Christmas", NBC’s stop-motion animated musical based on the 2003 Will Ferrell film and the Broadway show it inspired. (The special premieres Tuesday Dec. 16 at 8/7c), Mark Hamill was asked about the teaser trailer for
The Force Awakens. He says that while his family went too see it in the theatre, he watched it online, but, hed said he really enjoy watching the 'reaction video:
He says he's not surprised to not be in the teaser, that it's about the 'new generation of characters.' "I never thought I’d be involved in it again, period. And then when George [Lucas] said that they wanted to do more, I rightly assumed that it wouldn’t be our story, because we had a beginning, a middle, and an end. This must be our offspring and the current generation, with us there lending the kind of support that Peter Cushing and Alec Guinness did in the original." He also adds he was delighted for Harrison Ford to jump back in so enthusiastically.
He also says the 'ball droid' (""BB-6") was a live prop,. not CGI, that he played with at Pinewood Studios. "They let me play around with at Pinewood Studios. " I was running it all around at the creature shop up in Pinewood....It’s an absolute delight. And not having thought that I’d ever go back there, to go back into that world, is just – I get the chills. It’s just so much fun."
