At this point, there have been literally dozens of heroes
at the center of various Star Wars sagas, but there
will always only be one original Luke Skywalker, famously played
by Mark Hamill in the original trilogy films, along with
the deaged appearances on the Mandalorian. And although Luke did
officially meet his maker in The Last Jedi, with Jedi
(00:24):
ghosts appearing more than once in different projects, Mark could
in theory return to play Luke as a ghost or
in a prequel, but Hamiltell's comicbook dot Com he has
officially hung up the lightsaber, saying, I am so grateful
to George Lucas for letting me be a part of
it all back when he called Star Wars the most
expensive low budget movie ever made. We never expected it
(00:44):
to become a permanent franchise part of pop culture. But
my deal is I had my time. I think they
should focus on the future and new characters. And by
the way, Mark ads with a wink when I disappeared
in the Last Jedi, I left my robes behind and
there's no way I'm gonna appear as a naked Force
ghost Mark's new movie Life of Chuck is out now.
