It’s such a shame. Hamill & co were the perfect ages to do a sequel trilogy in the 90s, if only Lucas had handed the reigns to someone else and said “do a Thrawn trilogy adaptation”.
The crash happened in between A New Hope and Empire Strikes Back, which is why at the start of ESB his character gets whomped in the face and why in the Holiday Special the camera only shows him from far away. The reason he made a career move to voice acting was that he was type cast as Luke Skywalker and simply couldn’t get work doing much else (except for Wing Commander).

Didn’t Hamill wreck his Corvette and end up requiring facial reconstruction? I thought that’s why he moved to voice work back then.

Ah okay. It is a shame they never made it then!
Thrawn would have been such a home-run no brainer
