Mark Hamill is currently doing promo for the release of Child’s Play which hits cinemas today. But of course the actor cannot meet with the press without being asked about his status in the Star Wars universe.
Appearing at a red carpet event Hamill not only confirmed that he will be returning for this year’s The Rise of Skywalker but he also entirely gives away how he will return… like we couldn’t have guessed it already!
“I had closure in the last one” said Hamill, referring to Luke’s death in The Last Jedi. “The fact that I’m involved in any capacity is only becuase of that peculiar aspect of the Star Wars mythology where if you’re a Jedi you get to come back and make a curtain call as a Force Ghost.”
Check out the clip in the tweet below.
