Mark Hamill is done with Star Wars, ‘they don’t need Luke Skywalker anymore’

It’s no secret at all that Mark Hammill He is an authorized voice to talk about Star Wars, since he is the first actor to play the legendary Luke Skywalker in the original trilogy of this saga created by George Lucas, an artist that fans want to see again and again in new phases of this franchise , however apparently he will no longer be playing the aforementioned jedi.

It was a recent interview conducted by CBS News, the actor spoke about his future within the franchise of George Lucas, making it clear that although it is true that he does not close the door entirely, he underlines that you don’t need to bring Luke Skywalker into a Star Wars movie or series for Disney+.

The famous actor indicates that he has no interest in playing the new legendary jedi, so the appearance of this character in the series of ‘The Mandalorian’ and ‘The Book Of Boba Fett’, could be the last interpretation of Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker in Star Warssomething that will surely not be well received by many fans.

I see no reason to do this. Put it this way: they have so many stories to tell that they no longer need Luke. I’ve had my time, and that’s fine, but that’s enough,” the actor says.

There is no doubt that millions of followers would love to see a cameo from Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker in some future Star Wars production, however, everything suggests that the actor is right, given that at the moment the numerous spin-off productions of this science fiction saga do not revolve around this legendary character who made his debut in the 70s.
