When you had been questioning how a lot Mark Hamill retains up with upcoming Star Wars motion pictures ever since Luke Skywalker died in The Final Jedi, this is likely to be your reply. The previous star of the franchise was requested about his character returning for the beforehand introduced film centered round Rey, and his unexpectedly hilarious response would possibly’ve instructed us all we have to know.
Whereas we have seen Mark Hamill pop up a couple of instances as Luke in Star Wars exhibits out there with a Disney+ subscription, it seems his time within the motion pictures could also be coming to an finish. Comicbook.com caught up with the actor throughout his press tour for The Life Of Chuck, and requested him if he’d return as a Power Ghost in Daisy Ridley’s return to the franchise. Surprisingly, the actor mentioned he had no clue in regards to the undertaking:
In what? Oh, I don’t find out about that.
Now we play the sport of whether or not or not Mark Hamill is being real, or he is doing the traditional factor he is constructed a profession on, and “performing.” Was he oblivious to the very fact Daisy Ridley was returning to Star Wars, or is he taking part in coy as a result of he cannot say something of substance about his involvement?
One factor that I might discover laborious to consider is that if Disney is bringing Rey again to the massive display screen, Mark Hamill wouldn’t be approached to reprise his position in the identical means Alec Guinness served because the Power Ghost Obi-Wan for Luke.
Even when Mark Hamill mentioned no to returning, and there is a probability he may need, contemplating his feedback a few years again about going again to motion pictures, however I am unable to think about nobody reached out to him with a suggestion. Star Wars followers love Luke Skywalker, and I might think about it is anticipated that he’ll be a part of the enjoyable. Maybe we must always put together ourselves for the likelihood that he isn’t concerned?
I believe that it is laborious to say. Whereas it could be unusual that Mark Hamill allegedly hasn’t heard about this film, it is price noting that we nonetheless have an extended option to go earlier than the Rey film is definitely in theaters. The film is not on the 2026 slate and has not begun filming as of but. I believe it is truthful to say there’d be no cause to convey Hamill into the combo at this level, particularly if his position is as minor as a Power Ghost within the image.
We’ll see for certain at any time when filming for the Rey film really will get rolling. Earlier than that, now could be a good time to observe each Star Wars film so as, as we put together for the grand return to theaters with The Mandalorian and Grogu, which is out in 2026.
