Some fans felt they missed the chance that Lucasfilm perform the “natural” sequence for another actor to play the young iteration of Luke Skywalker. The actor Sebastian Stan He has been referred to many times as a worthy replacement, including by Mark Hamill himself.
Speaking to Good Morning America recently, Sebastian Stan was promoting Falcon and the Winter Soldier when the inevitable question fell. The actor said he would be delighted to play Luke Skywalker, but only if Mark Hamill himself offered to share the iconic role with him. The presence of Luke in the future projects of the franchise is not assured, but neither is it ruled out. Series like Ahsoka could see the farmer-turned-Jedi return.
