Star Wars was released in May 1977.  It  was an enormous, unexpected success and had a huge effect on the film industry. Mark in 1978 he also appeared in the Star Wars Holiday Special and later starred in the successful sequels The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. In  the time between the first two films, Mark was involved in a serious automobile accident, fracturing his nose and left cheekbone. Untrue rumors spread that he required plastic surgery on his face. For both of the sequels, Mark was honored with the Saturn Award for Best Actor given by the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films.

He  repeated the role of Luke Skywalker for the radio dramatizations of both Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back. For the Return of the Jedi radio drama, the role was played by a different actor.

Mark in 2014 he  returned to the Star Wars universe , when he voiced the ancient Sith Lord Darth Bane,  during  the final episode of the animated series The Clone Wars. Mark was nominated for a Daytime Emmy Award for his performance.

He stated “Mark now – they’ve got Mark in the gym because Mark’s coming back as Luke Skywalker. They’ve got him doing his sit-ups.”Previously it was reported that both Mark and Fisher had been assigned nutritionists and personal trainers to work with ahead of production.

Mark played Luke Skywalker again in Star Wars: The Last Jedi, released on December 15, 2017.  He was critical of his own role in The Last Jedi, stating that he and director Rian Johnson had “a fundamental difference” on the characterization of Luke Skywalker. He  is set to repeate his role as Luke Skywalker in Star Wars: Episode IX.

In World War Z he voiced the character of Todd Wainio , a critically acclaimed audiobook based on Max Brooks’ novel of the same name. Mark also provided the entire cast of voices for a 1983 audiobook version of Pinocchio with unique characteristics for each. He also reads life into the characters of the popular juvenile fiction book series, The Spiderwick Chronicles Volumes I–III, by Holly Black and Tony DiTerlizzi.
