When RotJ was filmed, Hamill was 30 playing a 23 year old Luke, so he was already old then. That was 38 years ago, but The Mandalorian is only set a few years after RotJ. Would you like to see Luke with a CGed younger face and someone else's slimmer body, like in the brief dark flashback in TRoS? I don't see that happening, nor would I want to. It wouldn't be that much Hamill. Sometimes it's better to let the past die. |
Reading through this thread now, it's really interesting how prophetic this ended up being, with the de-aging process they used on Luke (in The Mandalorian). The latest 'The Gallery' explained how they even used computer programs to make Hamill's voice much younger.
With technology evolving as fast as it is, they actually could use older actors like this more (not saying that's always a great idea, just that it is now possible). If you've seen the DeepFake version of Luke (and LFL hired that person), you know how realistic-looking they can make things.

I had forgotten about that. It was definitely better that Luke was saved only for Deus Ex Skywalker at the end and taking Grogu than it would have been for Luke to have had a major role in the season. And it is just freaking sad that DeepFake can make a better young Luke (and Tarkin and Leia in Rogue One) than LIM could. I'm very glad they hired that guy, especially if they are going to have a show about a younger Luke.
