Mark Hamill has opened up about shooting Star Wars with the Oscar-winning veteran star, Alec Guinness on social media. The two icons have been a part of the original Star Wars trilogy and built up the franchise in the 1970s. Mark Hamill was in his 20s when he filmed the 1977 Star Wars movie.

Before being the part of the popular franchise, Alec Guinness was a veteran star known for some great performances and even has an Oscar award in his collection. However, he still accepted the role of Obi-Wan Kenobi and presented it on the big screen. Mark Hamill played the character of Luke Skywalker, an apprentice of Obi-Wan Kenobi. 

According to the movie storyline, Obi-Wan trained Luke to become a great Skywalker. Although for young Mark Hamill shooting this space action movie and pretending to be a skywalker was fun, Alec Guinness found it hard to shoot with young actors like Mark and Harrison Ford.
