Mark Hamill, a.k.a. Luke Skywalker has a new series coming out for Comic-Con HQ. According to a press release, Hamill will executive produce and host Mark Hamill’s Pop Culture Quest along with fellow Star Wars alum Return of the Jedi producer Howard Kazanjian. Hamill has been collecting comic books, toys and art for since the early 1970s. In the new show, he’ll share his collection and those of other collectors with fans. The series will debut this fall.

“I’ve been a collector all my life,” said Hamill. “This show is a natural outgrowth of that passion. Now I have an opportunity to collect other people’s collections! I can’t wait to see what’s out there and share it with the world. Collectibles are a living history of who and what we are, so we just might learn something…but there’s no doubt we’re going to have fun!” Production will begin in June after his Star Wars: Episode IX shoot wraps.

According to the press release, this is how you can check it out: “Anyone can register now for a free extended trial on Comic-ConHQ.com via web browsers and iOS/Android devices. The paid subscription service will officially roll out this summer across more connected devices and distribution platforms such as Roku, AppleTV and Amazon’s Streaming Partners Program, with additional devices becoming available in the months to come.”

Sounds pretty cool to me! You’ll notice a bit of Hamill’s son Nathan’s work in the picture above. It’s the vinyl toy right next to “Darth Vader and Son.” Check out his work here.
