Any fan artists or Photoshop magicians willing to hazard a rendering or two? Though the word 'disfigured' is avery strong word to use, even a minor change in the nose or a change in facial symmetry can drastically change a persons face look at Montgomery Clift.
Hamill's previous nose fit his face better than the newer one, he had a Roman type nose compared to the more petite smaller nose he has now. What's killing me is the way some individuals keep throwing around the word 'disfigured' as if the way he looks like now is not presentable compared to how his face looked before his accident.
It's quite disrespectful. Frustratingly, some behind-the-scenes photos build solid arguments for both sides. So what really happened to Hamill's face? Did it always look like that, or was he hideously disfigured in a car crash to the point that filmmakers had to rewrite part of Empire 's script?
Dive into the mystery behind Mark Hamill's accident to try and determine whether or not it changed. Mark Hamill's car accident took place in January of '77, four months prior to the release of Star Wars. Given the timing, no one really knew who Mark Hamill was as he hadn't been in anything noteworthy to that point. In a Gossip magazine interview , Hamill admitted he thought his career was over after seeing the injuries to his face.
Fortunately for him, the movie that later acquired the contextually perfect name A New Hope proved to be a mega-success. There's a scene in the film where Mark gets beat up by the [Wampa], which helps even more, but that wasn't really the meaning of why we wrote the monster in the beginning.
We needed something to keep the film suspenseful at the beginning while the Empire is looking for them. In a interview with Starlog , Hamill says he asked Lucas in private if the wampa scene was indeed meant to cover his facial damage, and the director told him it was not. While that's not definitive evidence, it is rather convincing as it doesn't seem there would be much motivation for Lucas to lie at that moment unless he thought his star was a diva.
Some were outright heartbroken when they realized just how much Mark had changed in those three short years. In the beginning of the above-mentioned second installment of Star Wars , Luke gets attacked by a snow monster, called Wampa.
Their fight left half of Luke's face covered in band aids. George Lucas said yes, while fans and Carrie Fisher said no. According to Insider , the director said that "the Wampa scene helped justify Hamill's new look to viewers, but suggests the scene wasn't written because of his accident". In his mind, Luke got into some sort of a fight while fighting in the Rebellion. Fisher said that the two incidents were directly linked. Mark Hamill became a superstar overnight, but besides Star Wars , he barely played in any other movies.
One of them was Corvette Summer , a romantic drama that came out in It stars young Annie Potts, the Young Sheldon actress. Some fans were perplexed by Mark's appearance in the drama, claiming that his face looked just fine there.
