This Saturday, Olivet’s Strickler Planetarium will once again host three showings of “STARS.” If you haven’t done so already, make sure to bring the family out to see this dynamic show, playing in one of only three all-digital planetariums in the state of Illinois.STARS audience members are sure to quickly recognize a familiar voice as narrator. Fittingly, Mark Hamill, best known for his role as Luke Skywalker in the original Star Wars trilogy, is charged with the task of navigating audiences to the furthest reaches of the galaxy.
Though it’s hard to imagine Luke in any other way, Hamill might not have ever played Darth’s darling had his career taken him in a different direction. In fact, he came very close to finding fame on the small screen, playing one of the lead roles in a popular television series.
Though he was ultimately replaced by a different actor, Mark Hamill played the role of “David” in the pilot episode of what popular sitcom?
Take a guess in the “Comments” section and we’ll post the correct answer next week.
Answer to last week’s question:
“On June 6, 1742 John Wesley visited Epworth, England where his father had served as rector and had been buried. Wesley presented himself to the current curate, offering to assist in the service. However, the curate was opposed to the Wesleyan ‘enthusiasm’ and denied Wesley any participation. The local people, however, were anxious to hear him preach. So, he stood on his father's tomb and preached to a large crowd gathered in the churchyard. Access to the parish pulpit could be denied but not the privilege of speaking from his father's tomb. That tomb became The Epworth Pulpit.” Information taken from epworthpulpit.com, a ministry of Olivet’s School of Theology and Christian Ministry
