Those claims Mark Hamill is returning to Star Wars just might be true as the actor is asked about the recently announced Rey movie.
Giant Freakin Robot recently reported from their sources that Mark Hamill will be back as Luke Skywalker in the Daisy Ridley Rey movie along with Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker.
In a recent interview with Esquire, Mark Hamill is asked about playing a Force Ghost in the Rey movie where Hamill plays coy, possibly suggesting a return is imminent.
“One thing you learn working for Lucasfilm: everything is confidential. Everything is confidential. So, if I were involved, I wouldn’t be able to tell you. And if I were not involved, I wouldn’t be able to tell you. So, I don’t know. We’ll all find out together, I guess,” said Hamill.
Mark Hamill back as a Force Ghost for Rey Star Wars movie?
Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy has said the Rey movie takes place 15 years after the Rise of Skywalker with Daisy Ridley back as Rey rebuilding the Jedi Order, so it seems likely that if the Jedi Order gets rebuilt that Rey would need some help.
Mark Hamill and Hayden Christensen have never appeared on screen together, so if this all really does happen, we could see father and son reuniting, possibly along with other Force Ghosts who could help. So maybe additional Force Ghosts could include Yoda, and Ewan McGregor back as Obi-Wan Kenobi, Samuel L. Jackson back as Mace Windu, Liam Neeson back as Qui-Gon Jinn, etc.
There is even a rumor that Rey will team with Grogu, aka Baby Yoda, from The Mandalorian, so maybe Kennedy’s plan is to sync everything up in an attempt to fix Star Wars and make things right with the fans.
Bear in mind there are rumors that offer the Rey movie isn’t happening and that Kennedy might be finally out at Lucasfilm following the release of Indiana Jones 5, and Kennedy doesn’t have the best track record when it comes to Star Wars projects actually seeing the light of day, so take everything with a grain of salt.
