“Star Wars” fans better get ready to see their beloved Luke Skywalker as a Force ghost in the upcoming “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.” Speaking to the Associated Press on the “Child’s Play” red carpet (see video below), the actor confirmed his appearance in the upcoming “Star Wars” movie will be as a Force ghost in what he calls “a curtain call.” The quote suggests Hamill’s screen time is limited in “Rise of Skywalker.”
“I sure hope this [is my last “Star Wars”],” Hamill said. “I had closure in the last one. The fact that I’m involved in any capacity is only because of that peculiar aspect of the ‘Star Wars’ mythology where if you’re a Jedi, you get to come back and make a curtain call as a Force ghost.”
Luke Skywalker sacrificed himself to save the remaining Resistance members at the end of “Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
