After his impressive debut, many fans have demanded that Hamilton take over for Mark Hamill as the younger Luke Skywalker in the next Star Wars film. Many fans have voiced their opinions on this demand, and even Hamilton has commented.

Hamilton’s role as Luke Skywalker’s performance artist in The Book of Boba Fett was listed in the official credits alongside Scott Lang, who acted as the Jedi’s stunt double, and Max Lloyd-Jones, who provided a visual reference for Lucasfilm’s de-aging technology.
Both fans and critics praised Hamilton’s portrayal of Luke Skywalker, with many using words like “magical” and “spot-on” to describe his work. Hamilton shared his appreciation for the chance to portray such a legendary figure on Instagram.
“Co-creating Luke Skywalker for The Book of Boba Fett with master Mark Hamill was one of the most magical and fulfilling creative experiences of my life, Deep gratitude to Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau for bringing me into the family and to all the geniuses [at Star Wars and Lucasfilm]… It’s hard to express what this all meant for me, how unimaginably moving it was and still is.”
Some Star Wars fans, even though Hamilton’s performance has been met with universal acclaim, have been advocating for him to replace Mark Hamill as a younger version of Luke Skywalker in upcoming Star Wars films.
Fans Want Graham Milton As Young Luke Skywalker
While some fans were initially skeptical about Hamilton’s ability to replace Hamill as Luke Skywalker, his performance in The Book of Boba Fett has won over many skeptics.
Fans are now eager to see Hamilton reprise his role as Luke Skywalker in future Star Wars projects, and some have even suggested that he could replace Hamill permanently.
What does this mean for Luke Skywalker’s future in the Star Wars canon? Whether or not Hamilton will be asked to return to his role as Luke in future projects is unknown, but the importance of the character within the Star Wars canon is not.
The third season of The Mandalorian and other Star Wars production projects will feature additional Luke appearances. Whether it’s Hamilton or Hamill in the role, Luke Skywalker will continue to captivate and inspire fans for decades.
