Almost two generations have passed since the first Star Wars film was released in cinemas, and over the last 38 years, a total of six feature length movies have graced the silver screen. Now, with Episode VII already released to select audiences, is the perfect time to see how our beloved actors have changed over the years.
What do you think? Does Mark Hamill look like more, or less, of a hero than before? How about Jake Lloyd, who played the young Anakin Skywalker? Personally, I think Harrison Ford is a badass no matter how old he is! Share your opinion with the rest of us, and vote or comment below. (h/t: brightside)

You have to remember though, there's only a 10 year age difference in his photos. Some of the other actors have almost four decades difference. Still, he looks great in both photos and shows little difference!

Looks good, but a short beard suits him better than a full mop. He looks creepy when it gets too long

There is nothing wrong with having a beard at all.

He had a serious car accident right after the first movies that damaged his face badly. That's why he's wearing a beard. No big deal. She looks damn good considering all she's been through, nearly dying and having to go through electro-shock therapy. She's come a long way and I celebrate both of their recoveries.

His car accident happened between 4 and 5..not after the original trilogy. The wampa scar in episode 5 at the very beginning is what they did to hide his car accident.

I was in high school when this first came out. Mark Hamill posters were all over my room - I seriously wanted to go to LA to marry him. Now, not so much. :( Carrie looks amazing however!

Princess Leia Botox Non-Organa! I could hardly recognize her in The Force Awakens. As for Mark- This photo of him is pretty bad. But he looks much better with the beard in reality- more manly and impressive.

sono passati solo 12 anni. vediamo come sarà quando saranno passati 35 anni. allora potremo dare un giudizio. ora ha ancora la bellezza di una giovane donna. it has only been 12 years. let's see how it will be when they are already 35 years ago. then we can make a judgment. now still it has the beauty of a young woman.

lui se l'è cavata bene, gli anni non hanno lasciato troppi segni sul suo volto. però di lui al cinema o in tv non si è sentito parlare un gran che. io ricordo di averlo visto l'ultima volta in un cameo in "scrub" he fared well, the years have left too many marks on his face. however him to the movies or on TV are not heard much. I remember having last seen in a cameo in "scrub"

I hated him in Attack of Clones. He looked better in Revenge Of The Sith and did a good job transforming to the Dark Side. But still I wish someone else portrayed Vader.

What is sad is that Anakin was played by Sebastian Shaw in 2 small scenes (Darth Vader unmasked, and the gathering of Jedi ghosts at the end), but the DVD re-release in 2004 altered his makeup in the unmasking scene to make him look more like Hayden Christensen, and Hayden completely replaced Sebastian in the final ghosts scene.

I hate to say it but you could've picked a better picture for 2015 :P honestly looks like Qui Gon's transition from the 1960s to the 1980s after his hippie persona died and his battle with a heroin addiction :P Gotta love Liam though! Legend!

Liam Neeson not only played Qui Gon Jinn (Star Wars Episode 1 Phantom Menace) but he also voiced Aslan (Chronicles of Narnia).

I feel bad for him. People were so cruel to him and he was just a kid. Who would turn down a role in Star Wars? If the casting was wrong, it wasn't his fault but grown a*s people were tearing this little kid a new one. So wrong. I hope he's alright but I think that experience was extremely negative and heartbreaking for him. Poor guy.

Aww, just because he was annoying as young Anakin doesn't mean we should hate on him. I think he's cute.
