Overview
- In a recent ComicBook interview, Mark Hamill confirmed he will not reprise Luke Skywalker in the upcoming film New Jedi Order.
- He expressed gratitude for his time in the franchise but argued that Lucasfilm should focus on developing new, younger characters.
- Hamill last portrayed Luke’s Force ghost in 2019’s The Rise of Skywalker and appeared via de-aging technology in The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett.
- Lucasfilm's upcoming slate comprises New Jedi Order, which follows Rey’s journey, the series The Mandalorian and Grogu, and Star Wars: Starfighter led by Ryan Gosling.
- Hamill lightened the mood by joking he couldn’t return as a Force ghost without his robes, which he left behind in The Last Jedi.
