Mark Hamill took to social media to publicly thank Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau for his surprise cameo inThe Mandalorianseason 2. The Luke Skywalker actor made a brief cameo in season 1 as a bartending droid, which was later revealed by the actor and Favreau. However, there’s not a lot ofStar Warsfans who ever thought that they would ever see Hamill as Skywalker on the screen ever again. Hamill previously said that he was officially finished playing the character afterThe Rise of Skywalker. Thankfully,The Mandalorianseason 2 changed all that.
As it turns out, a lot can change in a year, especially when it comes to theStar Warsfranchise.Mark Hamillposted an image of himself as Luke Skywalker fromThe Mandalorianseason 2 on Twitter this afternoon. He captioned it with: “Sometimes the greatest gifts are the most unexpected and something you never realized you wanted until it was given.” He then added the hashtag #ThankYouJonandDave. Hamill was not shy when revealing hisdisappointment with the way Luke Skywalker was portrayedin the sequel trilogy, which is a thought that manyStar Warsfans shared.
Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni, along withThe Mandaloriancast and crew were shocked thatMark Hamill’s cameo remained a secretthroughout filming and promotion. Even Hamill admitted that he was surprised that word didn’t get out. Regardless, in the short amount of time on screen, Hamill was able to giveStar Warsfans the Luke that they thought they were going to see inThe Last Jedi. InThe Mandalorianseason 2 finale, we see Luke Skywalker at the height of his Jedi powers as he barely breaks a sweat taking down an army of Dark Troopers.
The Mandaloriantake on Luke Skywalker was exactly what fans were hoping to see, with some now refusing to even acknowledge the sequel trilogy and what it did for Luke. If Mark Hamill never does anything with theStar Warsuniverse again, his legacy will be sealed withThe Mandalorian, thanks to the minds of Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni, who have managed to bring the franchise to new heights with the live-action series. Hamill is clearly thankful for the chance to come back and seemingly set the record straight for himself, and for the fans, who have waited to see Luke Skywalker utilizing his true potential.
The Mandalorianseason 2 is still being praised byStar Warsfans, even 2 weeks after it came to an end. There is brand-new speculation about the upcoming third season, along with some talk about Luke Skywalker possibly returning in theAhsokaseries. While that has not been officially confirmed, fans will more than likely be pretty happy to see Mark Hamill back as the iconic Jedi again, even if it’s just a small cameo. you may check outThe Mandalorianappreciation post above, thanks toMark Hamill’s official Twitteraccount.
