Mark Hamill Confirms End of Luke Skywalker Role

News summary

Mark Hamill has confirmed that he is officially done playing Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars franchise, expressing gratitude for the role but emphasizing that his time has passed and the franchise should focus on new characters and the future. Hamill first portrayed Luke in 1977's A New Hope and reprised the role across the original and sequel trilogies, including appearances as a Force Ghost and a digitally de-aged version in The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett. He humorously noted that when Luke disappeared in The Last Jedi, he left his robes behind and joked about refusing to appear as a naked Force Ghost again. Hamill also shared that the passing of his co-star Carrie Fisher deeply affected him, feeling the "heart was gone" from Star Wars afterward. While fans had hoped to see Luke in upcoming projects like the new Rey-centric film, Hamill's statements suggest that legacy characters like Luke will not return, though classic characters such as R2-D2, C-3PO, and Chewbacca might still appear. Upcoming Star Wars projects include The Mandalorian & Grogu and Star Wars: Starfighter, scheduled for release in 2026 and 2027.
