Not to encourage all this Hamill talk ;-), but the accident was actually 
before filming the second film, right after finishing Star Wars. Remember how they 
mangled Luke's face in the opening sequence of The Empire Strikes Back with 
that big snow monster whose name I can't recall now? Well, he 'recovered' in 
the film with scars on his face. I am pretty sure they did that to explain why   
Luke looked so different in the second movie ;-)

 Honestly?  How  many actors are worth the kind of money Dan is right
now?

Hmm, I just looked up that thread on The Leaky Cauldron, but the link didn't 
work to the article. I was trying to find   out the money amount that was 
stated. But from some of the comments, it sounded like he was Britain's 2nd 
richest teenager and had surpassed Charlotte Church, who was worth something like 18 
million. If he is worth a bit more than that, then he still has a ways to go 
to beat a   lot of actors ;-) There are actors here in the states who make 
that per movie and have been making that for a while ;-) 
Think Tom Cruise, John Travolta, Julia Roberts, etc.

But I agree, good for Dan ;-) I'm sure he will make even more money in the 
future. He deserves it and I hope he has a great career doing whatever he wants.
