Mark Hamill, the legendary actor behind Luke Skywalker, has revealed his favorite quote from the Star Wars franchise, offering fans a glimpse into the line that best represents the heart of the saga. Decades after the original trilogy reshaped popular culture, Hamill’s connection to the story—and its words—remains as strong as ever.
In discussing the quote, Hamill emphasized how Star Wars has always been about more than lightsabers and space battles. For him, the chosen line reflects the emotional core of Luke Skywalker’s journey: hope, belief, and the power of redemption. These themes, he noted, are what continue to resonate with audiences across generations.
Hamill has frequently engaged with fans on social media, sharing behind-the-scenes memories and thoughtful reflections on the franchise’s legacy. His choice of favorite quote highlights why Luke Skywalker became one of cinema’s most enduring heroes—not because of strength or destiny alone, but because of compassion and faith in the good within others.
The actor also acknowledged the lasting impact of Star Wars dialogue, much of which has become deeply embedded in pop culture. From messages about the Force to lessons on courage and perseverance, the saga’s words have inspired millions worldwide.
As Star Wars continues to expand through new films, series, and stories, Hamill’s reflection serves as a reminder of why the original trilogy remains timeless. Sometimes, a single line of dialogue is enough to capture the spirit of an entire galaxy far, far away.
In an interview with ScreenRant‘s Ash Crossan for The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants, Mark Hamill was asked about the most iconic line spoken by any of the characters he has ever played, and he shared his favourite line from Star Wars.
My favorite from the space movies was, “I have a very bad feeling about this.” And they gave it to a character in every movie—somebody else said it!
The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants releases in theaters on December 19th.
