Talking about his legacy, Hamill explains that he’s just happy to have had the chance to do what he loves for a living. Luke Skywalker will always be an incredibly popular character even people who haven’t seen Star Wars have heard of him. Let me put it that way: I mean, they have so many stories to tell, they don’t need Luke anymore.” Mark Hamill: Star Wars doesn’t need Luke Skywalker anymore That younger Luke also appeared in The Book of Boba Fett, although Hamill wasn’t on set for that cameo. Hamill has featured in the franchise since Disney’s acquisition of Lucasfilm in 2012, wrapping up the Skywalker Saga in the sequel trilogy and appearing as a younger version of Luke in an in an episode of The Mandalorian.

The coming years will see numerous new TV projects drop on Disney+ ( Ahsoka, The Acolyte, Skeleton Crew, etc) as well as the return of Rey (Daisy Ridley) to the big screen, and even a movie wrapping up The Mandalorian saga. The Star Warsuniverse is growing faster than ever.
