Hey Star Wars fan, did you ever want to speak with an actual Jedi? Well, LEGO is giving a few lucky builders an opportunity to speak with the most legendary Jedi Knight of them all, Mark Hamill.
The Lego Group announced it is joining forces with actor Mark Hamill, best known for his iconic role as Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars movie franchise, bringing him on as their new Junior Executive Director of Information (J.E.D.I.)!
As part of his new position, Hamill will serve as a personal guide to builders as they explore the world of LEGO Star Wars SMART Play, sharing his tips for mastering the creative forces within this innovative play experience, according to a press release.
On April 8, Mark Hamill will be standing by to connect with a few lucky LEGO builders who call 1-877-80-ASK-MARK. Some will hear voice recordings from the legendary actor sharing building advice for LEGO SMART Play, while a lucky few will actually get a chance to video chat with the galaxy’s greatest Jedi Knight.
“My family and I have always loved LEGO Star Wars sets,” said Mark Hamill. “So I take my role as Junior Executive Director of Information (J.E.D.I.) very seriously. These new sets bring so much joy to kids and parents alike and I’m happy to offer some tips on how the galaxy plays back with LEGO SMART Play. What would Luke say to Vader? Who’s singing karaoke in the Cantina? No matter the question, it’s my job to make sure you know all the fun ways the galaxy plays back.”
LEGO SMART Play is the latest innovation from the LEGO Group, taking play to another level with the introduction of its new “Smart Brick” that brings LEGO sets to life by empowering kids to tell their own stories.
