Mark Hamill And A Fake Skull
It’s not by chance that this shot of Mark Hamill holding a skull reminds you of Hamlet. Shakesperean aspects abound in Star Wars, and this shot perfectly illustrates it. Luke uses it to slay the rancor after it was used on the set of Return of the Jedi’s Rancor’s Den. When Kylo Ren speaks to Darth Vader’s “skull” in The Force Awakens, JJ Abrams pays respect to this idea.
