Nathan Elias Hamill has the Star Wars world in his blood — he was born in June 1979, in the middle of production for the franchise's magnum opus, 1980's The Empire Strikes Back. He made his first appearance in the franchise with a cameo as one of the Royal Guards of Naboo in 1999's Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace.

Unlike his father, though, Nathan is primarily an artist and musician. He is a member of the band Vacuum and primarily works as a cartoonist, having worked with Matt Groening at Bongo Comics in the past.
He is one of two creators of the comic strip 2 Dumb Dinos, and his website also adds: "He was raised on a healthy diet of cartoons, comics, movies and toys, which informed his personality and artistic sensibilities." With his former partner, Nathan also welcomed a daughter named Autumn, who is now eight years old, making Mark a grandfather for the first time.

Griffin is a visual artist and painter, like Nathan as well, but primarily works as an operations manager and instructor at a martial arts academy in Santa Monica, California. He has made several public appearances with his dad as well, and his public social media page is mostly a collection of music and archival clips.
Mark shared some insight into his son's personality with a birthday tribute in 2019 that read: "Wishing the happiest of birthdays to Salaka Kuchimba (aka Griffin Hamill). Martial Arts Instructor, gifted painter, animal-lover, loving son and a true friend whose unconditional support means the world to me," often calling him his "favorite second son" in subsequent tributes.

While it's unclear what Chelsea does for a living, according to ABC News, she works as her father's assistant and accompanies him to several events and premieres, most recently the BAFTA Film Awards in February 2025.
"It's fun to be together like this," she told the publication of attending events with her father. "As you get older, you start treasuring the times you get to spend with family." She posted a tribute to her dad for Father's Day on June 15, writing: "Having you in my life is one of my greatest blessings, and I feel endlessly grateful and proud to call you my father."
