This year, George Lucas joins us (played by guest star Andy Ross).

Mark Hamill (Star Wars, BAFTA-winning voice of The Joker) is going from lightsaber to sword in season two of HISTORY's drama series 'Knightfall.' Today, the network revealed a first-look photo of Hamill in character as 'Talus,' a battle-hardened Knight Templar veteran of the Crusades, who survived captivity for ten years in the Holy Land and is tasked with training the new initiates to the Order. Starring Tom Cullen ('Downton Abbey,' 'Gunpowder') as the courageous and headstrong Templar Knight, Landry, who last season we left grief-stricken but hopeful, season two will explore this dark time in history from the Templar perspective, embracing an authentically grittier, darker, and more brutal Medieval period than has ever been seen before.
