Mark Hamill Hints His Star Wars 9 Role Is A Cameo

Mark Hamill suggest his role inStar Wars : Episode IXis just a cameo . The veteran actor is refund to the galaxy far , far away for one terminal time in J.J. Abrams ' upcoming film , which latterly wrapped production . Hamill ’s partwas confirm by Lucasfilm prior to filming last summertime , an comprehended bit of transparency from the typically tight - lipped studio . Though Hamill ’s Luke Skywalker died at the end ofThe Last Jedi , many fans assumed he ’d get along back for the conclusion chapter - especially given the franchise ’s notable trope of Force ghosts .

What remains a secret for the sentence being is how sizable Hamill ’s role will be . While the new films have prominently featured the original trilogy ’s large three ( Luke , Han Solo , and Princess Leia ) , they ’re very much digest role player in the younger generation ’s story . These motion-picture show are more about Rey and Kylo Ren than they are the older cheek , so it is n’t surprising that Hamill may not have that much screen time whenEpisode IXopens in December .

bear on : Luke Was Right - Star Wars 9 Should finish the Jedi ( and the Sith )

In an interview withDen of Geek , Hamill hash out some of the subsequence trilogy originative choices that still do n’t all sit right with him . As the role player ’s antecedently tell , he wanted Luke ’s death to be saved for the last flick , hoping that he ’d be a principal grapheme in the three films . Of course , it did n’t turn out that way :

" I recall : oh , okay , you should bear on my death off to the last one . That ’s what I was hop when I add up back : no cameos and a campaign - of - the - trilogy contract . Did I get any of those thing ? Because as far as I ’m refer , the death of VII is really the beginning of VIII . I got one movie ! They totally hornswoggled ( tricked ) me . ’ "

This is not full - fellate confirmation about Luke inEpisode IX , but Hamill’s"I got one movie!“comment heavily implies his role is minimal . Admittedly , that was to be expected considering Luke is no longer alive in the physical sense . In previousStar Warsmovies , Force spectre like Obi - Wan Kenobi and Yoda showed up for a scene or two to share wisdom with their prized pupil ( Luke ) in fundamental moment . In all likelihood , the old Luke will fare to Rey during her time of pauperism and serve her get over any obstacle . That would be a outstanding chance to in the end showcase the third lesson Rey never received during her time on Ahch - To . There ’s also a possibilityLuke ’s ghost haunts Kylo Ren , fulfilling his"See you around , kid"threat fromLast Jedi .

Whatever Abrams has in store for Luke , it ’s nice to see he found a situation - however small - for the eccentric inEpisode IX . Obviously , Luke ’s been an entire part of theStar Warsfranchise from the very commencement , and it would be a turn odd if he had no character at all in what’spositioned as the Skywalker saga ’s closing chapter . Hopefully , Luke ’s cameo is a memorable one that serve a vital purpose in the tarradiddle and transmit the character off on a gamy note .
