Mark Hamill Talks Star Wars Comeback and Reveals Luke Skywalker’s Biggest Flaw

Mark Hamill recently spoke about the possibility of returning to Star Wars and shared his thoughts on the challenges of telling Luke Skywalker’s story.

During an interview on Variety’s Awards Circuit Podcast, Hamill gave a clear picture of why he feels Luke’s journey has already been told.

“The way I feel is I had my time, and I love what they’re doing with The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett. They asked me to do brief cameos when Luke was at the height of his powers.”

“I told George it’s almost like if you did this for James Bond — Episode One, he’s a kid dreaming about the future and hearing about secret agents. In Episode Two, he trains to be a secret agent. In Episode Three, he earns his license to kill — and then you stop. No Dr. No, no From Russia With Love, no Goldfinger. Luke has a beginning and an end, but no middle. That’s just how it played out. I had my time. They’re doing great, and I wish them all the best,” he explained.

Hamill has returned to the role several times since the original trilogy. He appeared in The Force Awakens, played a controversial version of Luke in The Last Jedi, and returned as a Force spirit in The Rise of Skywalker. More recently, he made guest appearances on Disney+ shows The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett, where technology was used to digitally de-age him for the role.

Through his comments, Hamill shows he’s proud of Luke’s legacy but also understands that the character’s story has already been fully explored. He seems content to let new Star Wars projects continue without him taking a major role.

Luke Skywalker remains one of the most iconic characters in cinema, and Hamill’s perspective gives fans insight into why the story has moved on. What do you think about Luke’s journey being complete? Share your thoughts in the comments.
