Star Wars actor Mark Hamill has been playing Jedi Knight Luke Skywalker in the Skywalker Saga for over 40 years, first in George Lucas’s original trilogy and then in Disney’s sequel trilogy (for better or for worse).
Today, Hamill shared a hilarious story about the time the cast got to meet Princess Margaret, the only sibling of the reigning Queen of England, Queen Elizabeth II. He wrote on Instagram:
This photo was taken moments after Billy Dee informed me that direct eye contact with royalty was punishable by prison and/or beheading (note #BillyDee’s sly enjoyment of his prank, as #FrankOz looks on) Obviously, I wasn’t taking any chances!
Although he has only appeared in one episode of The Mandalorian saga, Skywalker has already played a huge role in propelling Din Djarin (Pedro Pascal) and Grogu’s story forward. He rescued Djarin and his crew from Moff Gideon’s (Giancarlo Esposito) Dark Trooper squadron and became the tiny foundling’s Jedi Master, ultimately setting up a more prominent role for the iconic character moving forward.
At this time, nothing about Hamill’s future in the Star Wars galaxy has been confirmed. Both the actor and Marvel star Sebastian Stan have, however, spoken out about the possibility of Stan playing a young version of Luke, either in The Mandalorian saga or in the rumored Luke Skywalker series.
Again, though, Disney and Lucasfilm have not confirmed anything about the Jedi Master’s future in the franchise.
Nonetheless, Hamill has expressed gratitude for the opportunity to once again play Luke, and has indicated that it was an experience he didn’t even know he needed.
Do you hope Luke Skywalker (and Mara Jade Skywalker) are in The Mandalorian moving forward? What do you think about Hamill’s latest hilarious Star Wars story?
