However, that’s not stopping fans from reminiscing about the first anniversary of, “The Rescue,” which featured a shocking cameo by Luke Skywalker. In fact, Luke Skywalker is currently trending on Twitter. Before checking out some of the fan appreciation tweets, here’s what Mark Hamill had to say about his return to Star Wars.

“Talk about unexpected,” Hamill told Jimmy Fallon. “I had finished playing that part, I never expected to do it again and I thought if they ever tell stories of Luke in that period โ€” post the originals and pre-sequels โ€” they’d get an age-appropriate actor. So when Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni told me about what they wanted to do I was just stunned. One of the main things withย The Mandalorianย is that you are sworn to secrecy. I can’t talk about it with my family, even now!”
