Mark Hamill Voices Han Solo In 'The Force Awakens' Bad Lip Reading

By: Benjamin Hart

The brilliant folks at Bad Lip Reading have released a brand new video where they revealed their own twisted and hilarious version of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. BLP is well known for their viral videos that dub over the original dialogue of movies, TV shows and more(Admit it: You've had that Seagull song stuck in your head at least once.)


Their rendition of The Force Awakens is especially awesome and funny because it includes the voice of The Last Jedi himself, Mark Hamill. If you have heard Mark speak at all at length, you know he can do a pretty hilarious impersonation of his longtime Star Wars co-star Harrison Ford. For the video, the BLP team got Hamill to dub over some of Han Solo's scenes in The Force Awakens, turning some of the film's most emotional moments into comedy gold. You can watch the video in full below:

By: Dominic Jones

Hallmark released their 2015 "Keepsake Ornament Dreambook" today, previewing all of the new ornaments they will release this Christmas.  Of course there will be several Star Wars releases, including two from the upcoming Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens.  The first will be available in October and will cost $17.99 (US) and the second will hit shelves in November and will cost $19.99 (US).

Also being released are a Zeb ornament from Star Wars Rebels, a Y-Wing, a Luke with Yoda on Dagobah, and a C-3PO and R2-D2.  No word yet on what the The Force Awakens ornaments will be, but based on the trailers I would guess a BB-8 and a Rey's Speeder would be strong candidates, but that's just speculation on my part.
