\t\t<\/p>\n Mark Hamill<\/strong><\/a> is clearing the air regarding his future in the Star Wars<\/strong><\/a><\/em> universe. <\/p>\n The 73-year-old actor, who famously played Luke Skywalker in six Star Wars<\/em> films, addressed the rumors that he \u201cquit\u201d the franchise in a recent interview. <\/p>\n \u201cWell, let me say: they haven\u2019t asked me. It\u2019s not like they said, \u2018Please come back.\u2019 I don\u2019t want to make a big PR pronouncement like \u2018This is my decision.\u2019 I\u2019m just saying that it really felt like a conclusion,\u201d he said while on Sunday TODAY With Wille Geist<\/a>. <\/p>\n Keep reading to find out more\u2026<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n If you didn\u2019t know, Luke Skywalker dies during 2017\u2032s The Last Jedi<\/em>, and Mark<\/strong> reprised the role as a spirit for The Rise of Skywalker<\/em> in 2019. In the interview, Mark<\/strong> also discussed how he feels about the arc of his character. <\/p>\n \u201cMy character was given complete closure. I died, ironically by overdosing on the Force, I might point out. Once the Skywalker trilogy was over, it was a whole new era for them, George [Lucas]<\/strong><\/a> gave them this amazing canvas, the entire galaxy. They can do Westerns, mysteries, comedies, whodunits, anything within that realm of Star Wars<\/em>,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd they\u2019re doing so well. I just think it\u2019s time. I had my time. I\u2019m really appreciative, but I\u2019m really looking to the future for all these new projects,\u201d he added. <\/p>\n Earlier this month, the upcoming movie Star Wars: Starfighter<\/em> officially cast its villain role<\/a>. <\/p>\n <\/span><\/p><\/div>\n
