One of the keys to a marriage surviving in Hollywood, according to Marilou Hamill, is to … stay out of Hollywood.
“We don’t live in town, so we don’t go in and do all the party circuits,” she said of her 40-year marriage to “Star Wars” icon Mark Hamill.
The Hamills will celebrate their milestone anniversary in December, in an industry where four decades of marriage is a rarity.
The couple also has three grown children, sons Nathan and Griffin, and daughter Chelsea, who works as her father’s assistant.
Since Mark Hamill reprised his iconic “Star Wars” role as Luke Skywalker in “The Force Awakens” and “The Last Jedi,” Marilou Hamill and Chelsea have been a near-constant presence at his side, traveling the world to red carpet premieres, appearances and interviews.
“It’s fun to be together like this. As you get older, you start treasuring the times you get to spend with family,” Chelsea said.
The entire Hamill family is still mourning the loss of their dear friend Carrie Fisher, saying they are grateful that “Star Wars” brought them back together after the many years between films.
“I think it was nice to have a chance to reconnect and these films really brought that back,” said Chelsea.
Her father agreed.
“Rather than being sorry that we can’t have more of her,” Mark Hamill said, “I’m just grateful that we had the time with her that we did.”

There’s a neat detail in Star Wars: The Last Jedi that reaches all the way back to 1977’s original Star Wars film.
Writer JM McNab pointed it out on Twitter on Wednesday, and his tweet has been liked nearly 100,000 times since.
McNab kinda says it all, but for anyone in need of a refresher, Luke first learned of his twin sister Leia when R2-D2 projected a hologram of Leia asking Obi-Wan Kenobi for help. (Spoilers for a 40-year-old franchise ahead.) Then they blew up the Death Star, Yoda trained Luke as a Jedi, the Ewoks danced, there were some prequels we’re going to ignore for now, Rey showed up and started kicking butt and taking names, that guy from Girls proved himself utterly undeserving of having Han and Leia as parents, and then in December Star Wars: The Last Jedi came out.
It was in The Last Jedi, of course, where the galactic boot was on the other foot. Luke ends up sending a projection of himself to help Leia, the sister who asked for help in a similar way 40 years earlier.
Maybe director Rian Johnson fully intended to have the Skywalker siblings come full circle in this way, but judging by the huge number of retweets and likes on McNab’s tweet, many never noticed it until now.
Some fans had an emotional reaction.

The official runtime for Solo: A Star Wars Story has seemingly been confirmed. Just five short months after experiencing The Last Jedi, audiences will return to the galaxy far, far away to witness the early smuggling adventures of Han Solo and Chewbacca. It’s no secret the project took quite the unusual path to the big screen, but things seem to have settled down nicely now that Lucasfilm is in the thick of Solo marketing. A recently-released trailer did a good job of establishing the tone and style, winning some of the skeptics over.
Director Ron Howard has been putting the finishing touches on post-production, locking his edit of the prequel a couple weeks ago. Solo will be finished in time for its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival in May, where it will screen out of competition. With all that in mind, it stood reason to believe there was a final runtime in place, and it indeed appears that is the case.
The official Cannes Festival website (hat tip Star Wars News Net) has a listing of all the titles that will play, and it’s stated there Solo is 2 hours, 15 minutes. Screen Rant has reached out to Disney for confirmation and will update this post accordingly.
Clocking in at 135 minutes, Solo is set to be as long as The Force Awakens and just slightly longer than Rogue One. That should be ample time to sufficiently handle everything that’s on its plate. While the premise of a Han Solo origin story sounds simple on-paper, it’s becoming clearer the scope of the anthology is comparable to one of the saga films. Viewers will visit several different locations across a story that spans six years, following Han from ages 18-24. Among the many elements to the narrative are Han meeting Chewie, crossing paths with Lando Calrissian, winning the Millennium Falcon, and taking part in a heist to rob the Conveyex vehicle. There’s a lot for Solo to unpack, so it’s nice to see Lucasfilm isn’t skimping on the runtime. Of course, the hope is Howard and his team made efficient use of that time and kept Solo moving at a decent pace.
At this stage, the only thing that remains to be seen is whether or not Solo is of high quality and is a worthy addition to the franchise. Even before the infamous production problems made headlines, there were concerns about the prequel simply judging by its concept. For a while, Solo has had the cards stacked against it, but the conversation is beginning to trend in a more positive direction. Ideally, Solo will earn strong reviews out of Cannes and perform well at the box office to become another winner for Lucasfilm.

THINKING WITH YOUR STOMACH IS TOTALLY FINE WITH THIS DELICIOUS SNACK.
Co-piloting the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy is no easy task and eating healthy isn’t always an option when you’re living a smuggler’s life. For a lighter alternative, these spring rolls are fun to make and portable enough to eat when you’re on the move in the Falcon — or watching the Solo: A Star Wars Story trailer again and again, anywhere you go.
Made to look like Kashyyyk’s native giants, these adorable eats are filled with brown buckwheat noodles and given their hostile countenance with the help of seaweed and steamed fish cake detailing.
Dip with caution into a sweet and spicy chili sauce…it’s not wise to upset a Wookiee.
