Mark Hamill Is Done Defying God & Nature With 'Star Wars' Cameos

After The Mandalorian Season 2 trotted out a surprise Luke Skywalker cameo that showed Star Wars had already come a long way from the CGI abominations in Rogue One, Lucasfilm inexplicably doubled down on its Uncanny Valley Luke in The Book of Boba Fett. This affront to how our eyes and brain work was created through a vast array of technology and the participation of Mark Hamill himself. Not anymore!

In a new interview with Comic Book, Hamill makes it clear that he’s done popping up in Star Wars as either a Force ghost or part of an unholy contraption that pisses in the face of God:

“I am so grateful to George [Lucas] for letting me be a part of that back in the day, the humble days when George called Star Wars ‘the most expensive low-budget movie ever made,’” Hamill said. “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, but I really think they should focus on the future and all the new characters.”

For context, Hamill was asked if he would appear in the upcoming movie/possible trilogy about Rey forming a New Jedi Order, which he notably took a pass on. However, who knows if that thing is even happening? Right now, Star Wars is hyped on director Shawn Levy’s new movie starring Ryan Gosling and frantically trying to get Baby Yoda in theaters while the iron is nowhere near hot. You could freeze an egg on it.

That said, Hamill might only be half right. It’s definitely best for him to step aside, but I’d be very surprised if Star Wars can leave Luke Skywalker alone. Fans want to see him tearing sh*t up post-Return of the Jedi, and that’s going to become way too easy of a shiny object to toss out there. At which point, Lucasfilm just needs to bite the bullet: recast.

Sebastian Stan was right there, but unfortunately, they waited too long. Did you guys see Thunderbolts? My dude looks rough. A smoldering and sexy rough that I would kill to look like in my 40s, but my man ain’t getting any younger.
