Mark Hamill Returns as Luke Skywalker in Star Wars TV Series

Mark Hamill, best known for his role as Luke Skywalker, initially had reservations about returning to the Star Wars sequel trilogy, fearing Disney couldn't "catch lightning in a bottle twice." He was convinced to come back after learning that Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher had agreed to reprise their roles. Hamill later returned to portray a digitally de-aged Luke Skywalker in The Mandalorian, aiming to explore the character's "middle" years as a Master Jedi, a period unseen in the films. Although Hamill has expressed gratitude for his time in the franchise, he believes the focus should shift to new characters and has no expectations of returning to live-action roles, despite the use of de-aging technology. Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy has described Luke’s future as "uncertain." However, Hamill continues to keep the character alive through voice roles in projects like the LEGO Star Wars series, including the upcoming "Rebuild the Galaxy - Pieces of the Past" miniseries on Disney+.
