While not quite the universal standout that was episode V, ROTJ was still a huge success worldwide and a near ideal launching pad for Mark Hamill to kick on to a vast acting career. What Happened Next: After the immeasurable success of the Star Wars franchise in the late 70's and 80's, Mark Hamill floundered in Hollywood, struggling to get a hold of the celebrity lifestyle and living up to the standards of the franchise he was such an integral part of.
