Star Wars legend Mark Hamill has opened up about his rollercoaster relationship with his late, great co-star Carrie Fisher. Starring in new action-comedy movie, The Machine, the Luke Skywalker actor spoke about the iconic franchise and his fiery bond with Fisher.
In a new interview for Esquire, Hamill, 71, said about the actress who died in December 2016 aged 60 after suffering a heart attack: "I have to tell you, we had a tumultuous relationship.
"We could be as loving and supportive as possible, then we could have big arguments and say, 'Well, I never want to speak to you again,' and not speak for six months."
He added about the Princess Leia star: "But every time you came back, you picked up right where you left off. We had a connection that is special."

The pair first appeared in 1977's original Star Wars Episode IV — A New Hope. Sequels followed including 1980's The Empire Strikes Back [Star Wars: Episode V], 1983's Return Of The Jedi [Star Wars: Episode VI], 2015's Star Wars: The Force Awakens, 2017's Star Wars: The Last Jedi and 2019's Star Wars: The Last Jedi featuring archival footage from the late Fisher.
Hamill recently honoured Fisher at her Hollywood Walk Of Fame ceremony on May 4 alongside her daughter Billie Lourd. He described her as 'wise beyond her years' from the moment they first met.
He confessed: "Her daughter, Billie [Lourde] is there. Billie's father, Bryan, is there. And I thought it so trivialises the reality to try and put it into words. But what else can you do? I didn't want it to be sad, because I knew she wouldn't want people to be sad."
He continued: "But it would've been so perfect had she been there. Not only to see how much people loved her, but because she would've made everything much funnier. She lived to make others laugh. And it was always a point of satisfaction for me to be able to make her laugh."
Hamill received his own Hollywood Walk Of Fame in 2018 alongside guests Harrison Ford and Star Wars genius George Lucas.

Of the ceremony, he said: "I was so touched that Harrison and George Lucas would both be there, because obviously they didn’t have to be. I guess I don't see it that way because I don't have that audience perspective. I don't see it the way other people see it."
Could we see him reprising his role once again in the upcoming new Disney Star Wars films?
He shared: "One thing you learn working for Lucasfilm: everything is confidential. Everything is confidential. So, if I were involved, I wouldn't be able to tell you. And if I were not involved, I wouldn't be able to tell you. So, I don't know. We'll all find out together, I guess."
