Star Wars icon Mark Hamill thinks the beloved sci-fi franchise should focus o🌃n the꧅ future from now on, and that means saying goodbye to his legendary character, Luke Skywalker.

While promoting his new movie The Life of Chuck, the actor has definitely ruled out a return to the s🌄aga, and he has pretty goodꦰ reasons.

.

"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. I'm appreciative of that, b😼ut I🌜 really think they should focus on the future and all the new characters. And by the way, 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."

Well, a naked Luke Skywalker ghost would be a sight to beho෴ld, but it's probably for the best that Hamill is not up for it.

The last time we saw him playing the character in a movie was in 2019's Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, which felt like a goodbye. However, we have seen Hamill as the character again in a couple of Disney Plus series, which are set earlier in the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Star Wars timeline. A de-aged ve𒀰rsion of Luke appeared in the season 2 finale of The Mandalorian in late 2020, and during a brief appearance in The Book of Boba Fett episode 6, in February 2022.

Next in the Star Wars calendar is 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Mandalorian & Grogu, which will bring Pedro Pascal's Mando and his little companion to the big screen for the first time. Shawn Levy's movie starring Ryan Gosling will be next (it 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:starts shooting this year), with the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:return of Daisy Ridley's Rey following at some point after. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Ahsoka season 2 is also expected next year.
