Sometimes Star Wars scoop comes from the most unusual of places. Robert Englund, who is best known for playing Freddy Krueger in the Nightmare on Elm Street series, is good friends with and even a former roommate of Mark Hamill, who played Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars series.
While appearing at the Nashville Comic Expo, Robert Englund talked about how both he and Hamill have done a lot of voice work for animation. He also let slip out a big secret in regards to exactly what Hamill is up to currently. “Mark now—they’ve got Mark in the gym, because Mark’s coming back as Luke Skywalker. They’ve got him doing his sit ups,” said Englund.
