Mark Hamill is often named by fans as a favorite Joker, even in comparison to popular live-action versions like Jack Nicholson and Heath Ledger. Hamill has often expressed how grateful he is to have landed the role of the Joker, so he doesn't take it for granted. In 2019, he similarly posted to Twitter a message noting how much that role meant to him, suggesting it had even become more valuable than Luke Skywalker. The actor also appreciates how the role allowed him to channel his darker side, giving him an odd enjoyment from frightening young viewers. "I can't tell you how much 1 single role has meant to me," Hamill tweeted. "Because of him people recognized the gleeful psycho within-Because of him a new career of megalomaniacal villainy opened up & I was now able to frighten young children-I will be grateful for that...Forever." It also means something that Hamill remains such a popular Joker, even with more and more new interpretations coming and going over the years, both in animation and live-action. The laugh he provides for the character in particular has become the definitive "Joker laugh" for many fans, which has also resulted in Hamill reprising the role in many animated projects and video games in the years since the original animated series. And perhaps none of it would have happened if Hamill hadn't played one of pop culture's most heroic heroes of all time in the Star Wars franchise.
