Mark Hamill has revealed why he returned as Luke Skywalker in The Mandalorian – and compared the cameo to Goldfinger and Dr. No in the James Bond franchise.
"The reason I did Mandalorian was that Luke had a beginning and an end. There was no middle... You never got to see Luke as a Master Jedi at the peak of his powers," Hamill explained to The Hollywood Reporter.
"It was like making a trilogy about James Bond as a young boy who first became aware of the Secret Service and wanted to be a part of it," Hamill continued. "Part two was him training to be an agent. Part three is earning his license to kill – the end. No From Russia With Love, Dr. No or Goldfinger.
"You never got to see Luke as a Master Jedi at the peak of his powers. He was the most idealistic character in that series. He was someone who would take adversity and double down and come back and counter his setbacks. We didn’t see any of that. So when I got the chance, I thought, 'Geez, this is wonderful.'"
