Which Star Wars Alum Is Heading (Back) to "The Flash"?

Star Wars alum Mark Hamill will reprise his role as Jesse James/The Trickster on "The Flash", Hitfix reports. Hamill first portrayed the villain on the short-lived '90s version of the series.

This time around, there's a twist. The character on The CW version is an anarchist and terrorist con man serving a life sentence in Iron Heights who helps Barry (Grant Gustin) and Det. West (Jesse L. Martin) foil the city-wide attacks of a wannabe Trickster eagerly following in the original's deadly footsteps.

The episode will air in 2015.





"Having Mark reprise his role as The Trickster was on our original wish list when we were planning our version of The Flash," executive producer Andrew Kreisberg told the site.

"Christmas and Chanukah came early for us this year when he said yes! We are beyond humbled and excited to have him joining us for another round of deadly trickery!"

That's awesome! Mark Hamill did a great job as The Trickster on the 1990-1991 The Flash series. I still don't like the costume on the 2014 version and (not just for that reason) I haven't caught an episode yet. (As a DC Comics and Marvel Comics and comic books in general fan, I definitely would like to check it out eventually- I just never seem to have the time to keep up with all the things I'd like to keep up with....). It will be great to see Mark Hamill back as The Trickster on this new Flash series. I will definitely have to remember to look out for this episode. Thanks for the heads-up.:) :cool:
