A little question regarding Luke Skywalker's nose
Okay, this may sound dumb, but did Mark Hammill get a nose-job or something between the first and second movie? Everything about him is pretty much the same, albeit aged, except that nose! I was just wondering....

IIRC, he broke his nose somewhere along the line, but I think there's a level of confusion over exactly how and where this occurred.

You know, it's always struck me that something was different about him... it IS the nose? And something actually DID happen to it?
Whoa... that's... cool... |

Yeah, I heard that his entire face was messed up and had to be reconstructed. But that could be just a rumor.

Actually I believe that the car accident is correct...not sure how much work had to be put into fixing him up though...
Mark Hamill: A Brief Bio Biography from Leonard Maltin's Movie Encyclopedia: Boyish-looking actor who created the character of Luke Skywalker in George Lucas' classic Star Wars series. Not a terribly versatile performer, he got across enough energy and postadolescent frustration in Star Wars (1977) to create considerable sympathy for his character. Before that film, he had appeared in TV movies and done voiceovers for cartoons. He was in a serious auto accident after completing shooting on Star Wars and much of his face had to be completely reconstructed, accounting for his gaunt, hollow look in the first sequel, The Empire Strikes Back (1980). As the trilogy continued, Hamill stood still as an actor while costar Harrison Ford grew into a very credible action hero and romantic lead, and while Hamill remains the focal point of all the movies, much of the intrigue of their storylines was transferred to Ford and costar Carrie Fisher by the time of wrap-up Return of the Jedi (1983). "I had the accident way before Star Wars came out, but what really happened has been terribly distorted. I broke my nose, that's it! But I've read accounts about how my face has been reconstructed with plastic surgery and how I was pulling myself along the highway with one arm looking for help. I even heard that I drove off a cliff! That's the best one of all." ~ Mark Hamill on his auto accident. So decide what you like!

he did have a car accident GL mentions it in the empire strikes back DVD commentary they didn't have to do much reconstruction work on him apart from his nose which I think he broke in about two places
