![]() She could look him dead in the eyes when he was reciting some of George's techno-babble and help him to actually believe in the lines. She could read him, react to him take his lead when he improvised a line. Their chemistry had been electric right from the start. He had met her back during screen-testing for the first film. No wonder he was letting Carrie walk around the set in a drug induced stupor.Ĭarrie.Carrie. No wonder he was taking script advice from his children about teddy bears beating the Empire. No wonder he was so inflexible about things on the set. God, the man must be going through hell right now. He could forgive him the way it was affecting his writing and the film. But Mark could see the stress of the divorce was really hitting George. The loss of the Yoda character, the revelation that Leia was his sister, the struggle and redemption with Vader.he had a good script here. He had read the script several times and he knew it gave him a chance to show his acting range. Why did it have to happen? Still, he would make this last movie his best performance. This was it: his pinnacle, as far and as high as he would climb in life. ![]() He looked down at his black Jedi tunic costume. Mark leaned back from the mirror and sat down in his makeup chair. He wondered if he would ever play anything BUT a Jedi after this film. In fact, he was beginning to feel as monastic as the Jedi he was playing in the film. When filming began on Jedi, Mark began such a hectic schedule that he rarely saw his wife at all. Not when he needed her body to relieve the stress of the shoot. Not when he needed her comfort and support. He had met her a short time after the first film.in his dental chair of all places. By an accident that had left him scarred.and deformed.Īt least he had Mary. The man's charisma and charm made him the kind of star material Mark once had dreams of becoming himself. Harrison could go on to other projects, he was sure of that. And what would he do after shooting had wrapped on Jedi? "Typecast" was an understatement considering the popularity of these movies. He would not have been surprised if George had replaced him entirely in Empire with another actor. He would never again have the boyish looks that had landed him this role. It had taken everything from him.his future in movies, his confidence in himself. His depression became only deeper as he saw the scars and lines in his face left over from the car accident he would never forget. ![]() Mark studied his face more closely, leaning towards his makeup mirror. Good god, he had Aunt Beru's haircut from the first film! George had personally seen to that. Luke was to remain as pure and innocent of a character as ever. A scar, an earring, an attitude, anything! But George would have none of it. Mark had spent over an hour pleading with George to make his character more edgy. What was more Mark had spent the entire morning having script discussions with George who was simply not taking any input like he had on the previous films. The oversized muppet had cost over a million dollars to create, and getting the two operators to create lifelike motion had proven to be very problematic. The entire day had seen a host of mechanical failures with the puppeteered Jabba the Hutt creature. Absolutely nothing seemed to be going right with the film. Mark closed the door in disgust as he entered his dressing room.
