The resurgence of Mark Hamill is in full swing. Although heralded as the voice of The Joker in Batman: The Animated Series, he will never stop being Luke Skywalker from Star Wars to most of us. Riding on his rediscovered wave of popularity, Mark is using his power for good by teaming up with Lucasfilms’ Force for Change to raise money to benefit four charities. Each week, a different prize is awarded to the top fundraiser. The prize this week is the opportunity to hang with Mark doing the activity of the winner’s choosing – as long as it’s legal.

No need to track down a one-of-a-kind BB unit to locate Luke Skywalker. The actor is offering up a chance to hang out for this week’s biggest fundraiser in the Force For Change charity drive.

Each week for the past month, Lucasfilm has released a new video featuring different prizes — a trip to Skellig Michael, where Luke was in exile; autographed stormtrooper helmets; a remote control BB-8 — but the latest has a personal touch.

This week’s top moneymaker will be eligible to win a trip to London in July for Star Wars Celebration Europe, and included in that is a chance to hang with Mark Hamill for any number of activities. He says whatever the winner decides to do has to be within the boundaries of good taste and not illegal.

The Force For Change campaign ends on “Star Wars Day” on May the 4th. The four select charities include the U.S. Fund for UNICEF in support of UNICEF Kid Power, American Red Cross, Boys & Girls Clubs of America, and Make-A-Wish.

The good news is that what happens with Mark Hamill stays with Mark Hamill. Remember this is the guy who didn’t tell Harrison Ford the big reveal in the Empire Strikes Back. Mark has a great sense of humor, especially about himself. He and Kathleen Kennedy filmed this year’s introductory Force for Change video in which he spends most of it staring intensely at the camera, mocking his one scene in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. For another Force for Change promotion prior to TFA’s opening, Mark spoke to tourists on Hollywood Blvd disguised as a stormtrooper. Most actors merely scribble their names on whatever you thrust at them but Mark will customize his autograph with a pithy comment. I follow his Twitter as well; if he isn’t giving spoilers to Episode VIII, he’s giving Prince Harry tips on flying. Mark seems like he’s having the time of his life. Although initially reticent to reprise his iconic role, he has since fully embraced it and I couldn’t be happier.

Force for Change will match dollar for dollar up to a million dollars. Last year they raised over ten million dollars. To donate, go here.

Side note – Mark and Marilou York have been married for almost forty years
