Mark Hamill Tells Fans Not To Expect His Return In 'Star Wars'
Summary With the upcoming filmNew Jedi Order,set for release in 2027, fans should prepare for the absence ofMark Hamillas Luke Skywalker. In a recent interview announced that he is stepping away from the role, urging fans not to expect his return in any future installments or screenings. He expressed gratitude toGeorge Lucasfor giving him the opportunity to be part of what Lucas once described as 'the most expensive low-budget movie ever made,' — a film that has since evolved into a globally recognized franchise. Hamill explained, 'We never expected it to become a permanent franchise and a part of pop culture like that. But my view is, I had my time. I'm appreciative of that, but I really think they should focus on the future and all the new characters.' His last notable appearance was inEpisode IX: The Rise of Skywalker, where he returned as a Force spirit to guide Rey in her final confrontation with Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) before becoming one with the Force. Reflecting on his departure, Hamill joked, 'When I disappeared inThe Last Jedi, I left my robes behind. And there's no way I'm gonna appear as a naked Force ghost. I'm just letting you know that right now.' Although Hamill has seemingly retired from his role as Luke Skywalker, his impact on the Star Wars universe remains undeniable. Fortunately, fans still have much to look forward to with several upcoming projects — including Star Wars:Starfighter, directed by Shawn Levy and starring Ryan Gosling, set five years after the sequel trilogy and releasing in 2027, andThe Mandalorian & Grogu, arriving in 2026 and featuring Pedro Pascal, Sigourney Weaver and Jeremy Allen White.

Mark Hamill On Why He Won't Return As Luke Skywalker In ‘Star Wars' Franchise: 'I Had My Time'
Mark Hamill is in a galaxy far, far away from the Star Wars universe. In a recent interview with the veteran actor cautioned that fans should not expect him to return as a world-weary Luke Skywalker in any forthcoming installments and that Lucasfilm/Walt Disney Pictures would do well to hone in on new faces in the franchise.

Wildfires, Being Shopped In Cannes SAG-AFTRA Responds To Fortnite's AI-Generated Darth Vader Feature With Unfair Labor Complaint 'I am so grateful to George [Lucas] for letting me be a part of that back in the days, the humble days when George called Star Wars 'the most expensive low-budget movie ever made,'' he began. 'We never expected it to become a permanent franchise and a part of pop culture like that. But my view is, I had my time. I'm appreciative of that, but I really think they should focus on the future and all the new characters.' Hamill last notably appeared as Rey's (Daisy Ridley) cynical mentor in 2017's Star Wars: The Last Jedi, helping her hone her Force powers before becoming one with the metaphysical realm itself as a wise forbearer. 'And by the way,' Hamill joked, '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. I'm just letting you know that right now.' The Life of Chuck actor did, however, reprise his role as the spiritual leader (in fully clothed blue-tinged ghost form) in 2019's Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, once again guiding Rey as she took on Emperor Palpatine (Ian McDiarmid). His last appearances, in Disney+ series The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett, have been as a de-aged CGI Luke. Coming up next in the franchise are the following: Star Wars: Starfighter from director Shawn Levy and starring Ryan Gosling, set five years after the conclusion of the sequel trilogy; 2026's The Mandalorian & Grogu with Pedro Pascal, Sigourney Weaver and Jeremy Allen White and Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy's continuation of Rey's story.

Mark Hamill Has No Plans for Star Wars or Luke Skywalker Return
Since the original Star Wars back in 1977, Mark Hamill has been a constant for the franchise alongside Original Trilogy costars Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford. From gazing out longingly at the twin suns of Tattooine to rocking the Chanel boots and schooling his nephew in front of the First Order, audiences have watched him bring Luke Skywalker to mostly live-action life time and again. But now, Hamill thinks it's time to officially move on. In a recent interview with ComicBook for his upcoming movie Life of Chuck, the actor said he's appreciative to George Lucas 'letting me be a part of [Star Wars] back in the humble days when he called it 'the most expensive low-budget movie ever made.' We never expected it to become a permanent franchise and a part of pop culture like that. But my deal is, I had my time.' (That, and with Luke dead as of Last Jedi, he has no desire to come back as a nude Force ghost.) Going forward, Hamill thinks the people in charge of Star Wars should 'focus on the future and all the new characters.' He's not wrong, but it's a funny as hell time to say it, as it's been a tough ask for this franchise ever since Force Awakens came out nearly a decade ago. (The actor has even been a part of those complications!) And for all of Hollywood, well, Awakens pretty much wrote the book on legacy sequels that feature new, younger-generation characters hanging with returning elders, a formula that's been copied in Scream, Jurassic Park, Marvel (several times), and even Karate Kid. What is the future if not the past revisited? We'll see how Star Wars handles the future with the post-Rise of Skywalker Rey movie and 2027's Starfighter.
