Hamill is also active on social media, regularly delighting his followers with stories about filming the Star Wars original trilogy with Harrison Ford (Han Solo) and Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia Organa).
Now, the actor has weighed in on a very important question — were the Ewoks actually vicious murderers? New York Times bestseller author, Brad Meltzer, shared a Sesame Street meme that posed the question:
In Return of the Jedi, how could the Ewoks have a dress that fit Leia…unless they cooked and ate a woman her size?
Hamill responded, simply:
I’m trying NOT to think about it.

While this question may never actually be answered in Star Wars canon, Disney+ subscribers can now watch the furry inhabitants of the Forest Moon of Endor in the 1980s Ewoks animated series and both little-known Ewok movies — Caravan of Courage (1984) and Ewoks: The Battle For Endor (1985).
As for Hamill, the actor last appeared in live-action in the Star Wars sequel trilogy — The Force Awakens (2015), The Last Jedi (2017), and The Rise of Skywalker (2019) — alongside Ford and Fisher, prior to her untimely 2016 passing.

The final trilogy in the Skywalker Saga saw the introduction of Luke’s nephew, Kylo Ren/Ben Solo (Adam Driver), who could continue to play a role as the Star Wars universe moves forward. Hamill shocked fans when he appeared as CGI version of Jedi Knight Skywalker in The Mandalorian Season 2 finale, taking Grogu (AKA “Baby Yoda”) from Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) to train him in the ways of the Jedi Order.
This has led to rampant rumors that a Sebastian Stan-led Luke Skywalker series could be in the works, potentially featuring young Ben Solo’s destruction of Skywalker’s new Jedi Temple and subsequent descent to the dark side.
