Hmm, I agree that he's never tried to distance himself, which is cool, but, as for being a fan in general, I saw an interview (on the Conan O'Brian show) where Hamill stated that he doesn't like watching himself act and never fully viewed any of the Star Wars films after their first premiere until the special editions were released in theaters 20 years later. I found that interesting.

I've always loved Mark Hamill, aside from the fact that he's a great family man, he was always the one member of the SW cast who seemed to be a fan of the films, and not just an actor in them. He never tried to distance himself from the films, like Ford and Fisher did.

A lot of actors don't like to watch themselves on film, what I meant by "fan" is that he was always the one hanging out in the Star Wars FX dept., watching how the visual effects were coming along, collecting memoribilia, and speaking enthusiastically and passionately about the films in public. He's often spoken about how excited he was to be in the Star Wars movies, because of the fact that he was such a fan of adventure movies when he was a kid.
