Mark Hamill Joins Lego as J.E.D.I. Spokesperson for Interactive Star Wars Sets

The move taps his legacy to pitch Lego's chip-powered Star Wars sets.

Overview

  • Lego, which named Hamill its “junior executive director of information” Monday, will open a fan hotline Wednesday, April 8, from noon to 8 p.m. ET.
  • The SMART Play line uses a small chip in select bricks to light up, play sounds, and react during play.
  • A limited number of U.S. callers may be invited into a live video chat with Hamill after they dial 1-877-80-ASK-MARK.
  • Hamill recently voiced Luke in the animated Lego Star Wars: Rebuild the Galaxy, giving the promotion a fresh tie to his latest role.
  • The campaign launches as Star Wars reshapes leadership under Dave Filoni, nears a May 22 film release, and plans a 2027 theatrical return of the original.
