Mark Hamill as Show Host

Explain the context of this image and I will grant you the power of flight. Hint: it has something to do with computers.

    Is this from the infomercial (selling Bell computers) he did approximately a million years ago?

    A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, creepy old Luke Skywalker hung out by himself in a private room in the Mos Eisley Cantina on Tatooine.

    That would be a Cantina to avoid… the “My Kids” Cantina… Pretty creepy even outside of the old Luke Skywalker leering at you.

    (fingers crossed, hoping for the gift of flight)

    This is from “… a special report to help parents gain expert advice on how to keep their children free from substance abuse. Host Mark Hamill (Star Wars) guides viewers through a 30-minute video that describes resources for parents, gives tips from health care professionals, and offers testimonials from teenagers and adults, and features recording artist/musician and parent Richard Marx, who shares his concern about his children’s future…”

    Hamill worked with a company called TV Interactive that produced shows about how the Internet was going to change they way people would live their lives. Hamill hosted at least two shows, .com TV and My Kids with Mark Hamill, from roughly 1996 to 1998-ish.

    Talk about a random subject Benj! Where in the world did you find that picture?

    Blast you, Geoff. I hope you take to the sky with grace and splendor.

    Everyone’s answers are quite funny, and if you want to suggest some more, I’d love to hear them. All will be fully revealed in a future Retro Scan of the Week.

    more specifically: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0500820/

    Although there doesn’t seem to be any information on what they where talking about, nor do they mention any other episodes of that entire series.

    But that picture is still creepy. Oh 90’s! Why where we not more scared?
