It seems like a very long time in the past, in a galaxy far, distant since we’ve final seen Luke Skywalker. Whereas there’s at all times an opportunity for upcoming Star Wars motion pictures to convey again Mark Hamill’s iconic fixture in Lucasfilm’s IP galaxy, we technically haven’t seen him within the flesh since The Ebook of Boba Fett. Effectively that’s about to alter, because of Disneyland’s introduction of Luke Skywalker at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge lastly going down – with a performer that is giving off extra of a “Kylo Ren, however good” form of vibe, now that I give it some thought.
Beginning in the present day, this Jedi (like his father/uncle earlier than him, relying on the place you land on the resemblance matter) shall be available to rejoice Star Wars: Season of the Power, which is ready to finish on Might eleventh. That info comes from a reasonably neat announcement video, which you’ll watch beneath:

It may be the truth that this younger individual appears to be like youthful than even Mark Hamill himself did within the Authentic Trilogy period. This isn’t a grievance to anybody concerned on this comparability, however actually extra of an remark. For reference, right here’s a comparability of this Disneyland Solid Member, in-between pictures of Mark Hamill and Adam Driver:
Placing the criticisms in among the nastier social media reactions apart, I feel that the primary Luke Skywalker in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge positively seems like a midway level between that Power-sensitive Tatooine farmboy and his extra energy hungry nephew from the Sequel Trilogy period. But when we’re being sincere with ourselves, the remark about Luke not being blonde falls flat whenever you see Mark Hamill’s hair coloration from his 1983 look.
As for the Kylo Ren vibes, these come from the truth that our new park-hopping good friend positively has a youth to his look; which is one more grievance some folks have shared on-line. Mentioning that reality myself is not me agreeing that’s a motive to write down this individual off earlier than he’s allowed to actually make a mark.
If something, my very own expertise with Common Studios Florida’s costumed characters has confirmed to me that it’s the spirit of the efficiency that issues greater than the resemblance. After I “met” Doc Brown on my final go to to Orlando, the individual enjoying him did not look something like Christopher Lloyd. However you may ensure he knew the character properly sufficient that we had been joking about seeing one another once more previously, which left me with a smile.
Preserving that in thoughts, I’m excited to see the primary movies of Luke Skywalker making his approach by means of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge hit social media. Particularly since there’s a possible that Mark Hamill himself will throw in his two credit, in what’s undoubtedly going to be a heat want that reminds this daring performer that the Power is certainly with them.
When and if that day comes, maybe all arguments on the contrary can finish and we are able to return to the really necessary points, like whether or not or not Rogue Squadron remains to be gonna occur. However if you wish to meet Luke Skywalker throughout Star Wars: Season of the Power, head to the Disneyland Resort earlier than Might eleventh and fulfill your future!
