Or at the very least, digi-Luke could turn up as one of the key players in Dave Filoni’s proposed new film about the “escalating war between the Imperial remnant and the New Republic”. An entire series, or new movie, starring Hamill as youngish Luke seems like a very logical next step from both a commercial and creative point of view for Star Wars. Especially so as the realisation of de-aged Luke in that episode with baby Yoda was so wonderful that it is hard to imagine Disney/Lucasfilm not taking the whole concept further. They say be careful what you wish for, and who knows if we’ll one day regret wishing for more CGI-assisted Luke adventures set in the era of The Mandalorian – just as AI experts will probably wonder why they kept programming computers to be more intelligent, right up to the moment when a brand-new superintelligence covers the entire planet with organic life-killing nanobots.Īnd yet, as a Star Wars fan, I do. Even so, it seems a pity we won’t be getting to see Luke again, just as the technology seems to exist for further adventures alongside our favourite Jedi Master.
And Hamill is a mischievous sort, so could easily be pulling our legs here.
There have even been recent reports that Hamill might be back as a Force ghost in the recently announced Daisy Ridley-led Star Wars film, alongside Hayden Christensen as his dear old dead dad, Anakin.
He then returned, only to be killed off again in the critically acclaimed (though minority-trolled) The Last Jedi, as a middle-aged Luke, before unexpectedly turning up in cameos as a de-aged version of the Jedi Knight in the TV shows The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett, to fan rapture. What’s that you say? Didn’t Hamill retire at least twice before, or at least show no significant indication that he would return to the role of everyone’s favourite Tatooinian moisture farmer turned saviour of the known galaxy for at least a decade or so? Well, yes, there was a considerable period (between 19, to be precise) when Hamill’s Skywalker was very much out of the picture.
