1. SOUNDBITE (English) Mark Hamill, actor:
"Memorabilia has become such a lucrative business. They’re not fans. They’re people that, you know, I’ll sign something at Universal, and by the time we get home to Malibu, they’re already on eBay. So I love the fans, but not so much the dealers. But you’re trapped. What can I do? I mean, I’m thrilled tonight they’re not here. The last time we did something for… [Carrie Fisher’s Walk of Fame ceremony] It was just mobs of people with lightsabers and posters and all that and like I say, I’m happy to do, you know what, the real telling you say, how about a selfie, no no no, I want you to sign my lightsaber. See, a real fan would say, yeah, let’s do a selfie so, it’s just something you have to live with. It’s something that’s been a part of my life for a long time now."
