With co-stars Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford and wookie Chewbacca, Hamill's a hit again with the reissue of The Empire Strikes Back. But he worries that "it's not an actor's movie."

I Name the top-billed actor in the
 Tirst and third highest-grossing movies of all time," Mark Hamill said. And with- out hesitating, he answered with a
 grin, "It's me! But even my family guesses wrong. My cousin said Rich-
i ard Dreyf uss. "
   Though Hamill jokes about it, the
I truth hurts. Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back (now in reissue) made less of a name for him than for Luke Sky- walker, the space age hero he plays with such youthful vigor that many can- not contemplate him as anyone else. Hamill@-s-in-between movies-Corvette Summer and The Big Red One-were
i Tast fizzles. As Mark puts it, "in Hol- iywood, I became an icon, like Mickey Mouse." All of which leaves him, as he turns 30(the big day is Sept. 25), verging on an identity crisis.
   He has already achieved the goals
i ne set for himself by age 30: to star in
 a movie, be in one nominated for
 an Oscar, make a million dollars and appear in a Broadway play. He did more than squeak by on the first three counts. He was 25 when the Oscar- nominated Star Wars put his name in lights and 28 when Empire earned him
 a million. Then three months ago he ap- peared briefly on Broadway as the lead in The Elephant Man. "But having
 done all that," says Hamill, "it's not what you imagined. I must still prove myself as an actor."
