WTF happened to his nose??He had the cutest nose,now it looks like his Dad punched him for not joining the dark side of the Force.
I'm an unhappy Star Wars fan.

That was due to his car accident. He had one heck of a nasty accident in between the original and the new hope that completely messed up his face.
Wikipedia sez: "On January 11, 1977, a day before he was set to shoot one of the final scenes needed for Star Wars: A New Hope, Hamill was in a car accident in which he fractured his nose and left cheekbone.[4] [5] According to Star Wars: A New Hope producer Gary Kurtz, Hamill was in surgery from 9:00 AM until 4 PM in the afternoon. As a result of the accident, a double was used for the landspeeder pickup shots.[6]
In an A&E Network Biography special from 2002, entitled Mark Hamill: A Force to Be Reckoned With, members of Hamill's family, including his older brother, William, and his cousin, Eric Johnson, recounted the accident."
