Friday was known as Star Wars Day at the San Diego Comic-Con and there were six special Star Wars universe-related programs featured throughout the day. Surprisingly, though, actor Mark Hamill — famous for his role as Luke Skywalker in the original Star Wars trilogy — wasn’t present at any Star Wars panels.

Instead, the actor could be found at the Sony Online Entertainment’s fan party, where he met comic book artist Jim Lee (that’s an image at right of the two at the party; Hamill is on the right).

It was announced this weekend that Hamill has joined the cast of Afro Samurai: Resurrection, a SpikeTV original animated movie. In the movie, Hamill voices Bin, Sio’s manservant and protector and Yuri Lowenthal as Kuma, the teddy bear-headed warrior from the original Afro Samurai series. Sio (Lucy Liu) is a beautiful, seductive, and sadistic mastermind plotting to destroy Afro Samurai.

Afro Samurai: Resurrection is based on the original art and storytelling of manga artist Takashi Okazaki, of a black samurai’s quest for revenge and justice for his murdered father. Samuel L. Jackson (“The Spirit”), who also serves as an executive producer, reprises his role as the uncompromising hero, Afro and his motor-mouthed sidekick Ninja Ninja. When his father’s body is stolen from its grave, Afro is forced to pick up his sword and wreak bloody vengeance against an army of deadly foes lead by a sadistic mastermind.
