Aside from being famous for being Colonel Blair and that Skywalker guy, Mark Hamill is a well known voice actor with 29 of his 45 post-Prophecy credits being voice credits. Even just for Wing Commander projects he voiced Blair in the WC Academy cartoon and the Rapier's computer Merlin in the WC movie. His latest project is no different as this update on Robotech.com announces that Hamill has joined the cast of the Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles cartoon. For those not in the know, Robotech is a long running anime series consisting of three separate series (Macross, Southern Cross, and Mospeada) combined. The Shadow Chronicles is a brand new series in the Macross universe being produced in the US. Hamill will be a voicing a currently unknown character for the series which is due to start airing before the end of the year.

Correction about Robotech: Shadow Chronicles...

" The Shadow Chronicles is a brand new series in the Macross universe..."

Correction, you mean "The Shadow Chronicles is a brand new series in the Robotech universe..."

Macross is a Japanese production by Tatsunoko Studios. Robotech borrows much of the same animation used in creating "Macross ", but lends itself to a story and script originally created by Harmony Gold, an American company. The Shadow Chronicles is a continuation of the Robotech storyline originally created by Carl Macek, who brought the Robotech project to life. The Macross story continues with Macross Plus and Macross 7. Interestingly, Robotech was never aired in Japan so Japanese don't know about it. And Macross was never aired on public television in the US, so American viewers don't know what Macross is either. However, the word "Macross" in both productions refer to the same island where both stories begin.
