They are there because of the Star Wars links. Also Billy was in Batman which also grossed highly

David is right.

Hamill has only been in a couple of other films other than Star Wars. And since each of his 3 star wars films have made over $300 million each, his bomb films still only bring his average down to $217 million.

And to think that I never thought math could be fun! :)
