    AceShowbiz –
    Sebastian Stan has addressed speculation that he will be taking the mantle to be the new Luke Skywalker. The MCU actor has been fan favorite to play a younger version of the Jedi Master in a future “Star Wars” film and he has now revealed one condition for him to play the character made famous by Mark Hamill.

    Appearing on “Good Morning America” to promote his new series on Disney+, “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier”, the Bucky Barnes depicter was asked by host Robin Roberts (II) if there’s truth to the rumors. The 38-year-old actor then replied that he would only play Luke Skywalker if Hamill gives his blessing.

    Roberts then pointed out that Hamill has in the past jokingly endorsed Stan as his successor. Waiting for a firmer confirmation, Stan responded, “Yeah, well… If Mark Hamill calls me personally to tell me that he feels inclined to share this role with me, I’ll believe it. Until then, I won’t believe anything.”

    Rumors of Stan possibly replacing Hamill to play a young Luke Skywalker in a future “Star Wars” film have been going round on the Internet for years. Fans are particularly obsessed with the “Avengers: Endgame” star’s likeness to the 69-year-old actor, with Hamill himself responding by joking that he’s Stan’s father. “Sorry to disappoint you but I refuse to say ‘Sebastian Stan-I AM YOUR FATHER!’ (even though, in fact, I am),” he tweeted.

    While Stan was a bit coy when addressing the rumors on “GMA”, he has in the past expressed his desire to take on the role. “I just want to say here that anytime anyone would like to call me and ask me about Luke Skywalker I’d be very happy [to play him],” he said back in November 2017.

      AceShowbiz – “Star Wars” icon Mark Hamill is full of praise for Disney bosses’ ability to keep “The Mandalorian” plot twists under wraps.
      The season two finale, called “The Rescue”, premiered on the Disney+ streaming service on Friday (18Dec20), and [SPOILER ALERT!] featured a surprise appearance from a computer-generated image of Luke Skywalker – the character made famous on the big screen by Hamill.

      He then followed it up with a more detailed post on Saturday, after the news hit headlines.

      “The fact that we were able to keep my involvement a secret for over a year with no leaks is nothing less than a miracle,” he marvelled. “A real triumph for spoiler-haters everywhere!”
      Hamill is no stranger to “The Mandalorian” – he previously lent his voice to a droid bartender in season one’s episode five, titled “The Gunslinger”, although the small role was uncredited.
      “The Mandalorian”, created by director Jon Favreau, is set five years after the third film in the original George Lucas Star Wars trilogy, 1983’s “Return of the Jedi”, and stars Pedro Pascal as the titular bounty hunter.
      Also in the final episode, Disney confirmed Boba Fett spin-off series. Called “The Book of Boba Fett”, the project is scheduled to launch in December 2021 with Temuera Morrison expected to return as the titular role and Ming-Na Wen as Fennec Shand.

      “The force is strong with you,” Hamill responded as the nurse became visibly emotional.
      “I applaud you for having seen the Star Wars movies more than I have,” he quipped, before heaping praise on Ducos for her hard work at a coronavirus testing centre.
      “I’ve been reading about all you’ve done, six years as a nurse, teaching at night, you’re in the (testing) tents,” Hamill continued. “I mean, that’s so great. I mean to me, I’m a pretend hero, you’re the real life hero. So thank you for your service.”
      “I’m having (heart) palpitations and I’m crying!” Ducos exclaimed as she fought back tears.
      Kimmel and Hamill had extra surprises in store for the nurse as the TV presenter then announced she would be receiving $10,000 as part of the #PayPalItForward initiative, while her co-workers would also be receiving vouchers from officials at the PayPal payment app.
      Meanwhile, Hamill revealed he would be sending a signed lightsaber to Ducos to show his appreciation for her longtime support.
      “To me, Star Wars fans are more than just fans, they’re more like family…, and may the force be with you, always,” he said.
