Acting Lead to Injuries in “Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope”

Luke Skywalker was seen choking in “Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope.” And the actor, Mark Hamill, wanted it to be so realistic that he held his breath until he bopped a blood vessel in one of his eyes. As a result, Hamill was shot from one side of his face or had to smile a lot to hide his left bloodshot eye during the rest of filming.
