Connection Combat: Star Wars War - Han Solo (Harrison Ford) vs. Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill)

Question

With the recent release of Star Wars: Episode VII we thought it would be fun to have our own Star Wars War.

Harrison Ford, who is probably best known for his iconic roles like Han Solo and Indiana Jones.

Mark Hamill, of course best known for playing Luke Skywalker, has also done extensive voice acting including a long-time role as the Joker. 

Harrison Ford

vs

Mark Hamill

May the Force be With You.

The rules and guidelines are here, and post in this thread once you've made a connection so we can declare a winner! 

Remember, the goal is to connect one of these individuals to the previous month's winner -  Frank Capra .

If you need to be added to one of the Trusted Lists, let me know and I will add you.

The winning profile will be featured as one of our Special Connections (like AJ Jacobs and Kevin Bacon) so members can have a chance to see how they are connected.

 

Answer 1

Ooooooh, this is going to be fun! 

If anyone wants to get started on Mark Hamill, EthniCelebs has a page on him which has some good clues to follow.

Harrison Ford has also married two notable women: Melissa Mathison (who wrote the screenplay for E.T.), and actress Calista Flockhart.

Answer 2

Mark Hamill is connected to Frank Kapra via my wife's ancestors (Hancocks & Lippincotts). His father is Hamill-300 & needs to be connected to Mark in order to complete the connection.

Wow! Fast! Great work. I'll look at the connection when it shows tomorrow.

There are a lot of unsourced profiles along the connection between Frank Capra and Mark Hamill.  If anyone has some time to go through and find some this would be a more solid connection.

You might want to look at the line again. There are good sources for all the profiles.
