Mark Hamill, who played Luke Skywalker in the original Star Wars trilogy, has previously reprised his role twice, but he himself has confirmed that he’s completed his run and feels the franchise should move forward. Although the characters from the original trilogy may have concluded their stories in the sequel trilogy, the flexible timeline of the Star Wars universe allows for potential returns. However, it seems improbable that Mark Hamill will reappear in the upcoming Star Wars series The Mandalorian and Grogu.
In conversation with ComicBook.com, Hamill admitted he didn’t foresee Star Wars shaping his career so profoundly – yet he believes his tenure may have come to an end.
I’m deeply thankful to George [Lucas] for allowing me to be involved in it during those early years, when ‘Star Wars’ was referred to as the most expensive low-budget film. Frankly, we never imagined it would turn into an enduring franchise and a pop culture staple like it has. Nevertheless, my time has passed, and I appreciate that experience. However, in my opinion, they should now concentrate on the future and all the fresh characters.
In the movie “Star Wars: The Last Jedi,” Hamill couldn’t help but make a humorous comment about Luke Skywalker’s death. He joked, “By the way, when I vanished in [The Last Jedi], I left my robes behind. And there’s no chance I’ll show up as a ghostly Force presence without any clothes on.
Mark Hamill Really Does Want To Move On As Luke Skywalker
He Believes He’s Passed On The Torch
Hamill has hinted before that he feels his Star Wars story is complete, and his recent comments seem to emphasize this point sincerely. It’s not just a publicity stunt; he appears to be genuinely conveying that his connection with Star Wars has reached its conclusion. In essence, he feels it’s time for someone else to carry the legacy forward.
It’s not automatically implied that Luke Skywalker’s tale has reached its conclusion, indeed. There’s a notion stirring, as Mark Hamill himself suggests Sebastian Stan might portray Luke, an idea well-received by fans. This could potentially see the Jedi Master feature in Mandoverse films and series. Historically, Lucasfilm has been resistant to recasting, but recent developments hint that this stance may be softening.
Our Take On Mark Hamill’s Argument
He Does Have A Point
The reluctance of Star Wars to replace actors has sparked debate among fans, leading them to resort to costly deepfake technology. This technique involves digitally superimposing Hamill’s face onto another actor’s. However, the result often feels unsettling and takes away from the viewing experience. It would be nice if this practice could be phased out.
To put it another way, while I agree with Hamill that the time has come to pass on the legend of Luke Skywalker, I also feel there’s much more to explore about his story. I can hardly imagine Luke not being part of the struggle against Grand Admiral Thrawn in the war. However, it seems appropriate for Daisy Ridley and potentially other actors portraying a new Luke Skywalker to take center stage as Star Wars prepares to forge ahead with its New Jedi Order films, ensuring its continuation.
