Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker holding his lightsaber in Return of the Jedi (1983) and looking at the twin suns of Ahch-To in The Last Jedi (2017)
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Mark Hamill has played Luke Skywalker in seven live-action Star Wars projects, some better than others. Since 1977, Hamill has been one of the faces of the Star Wars franchise. Each Star Wars trilogy includes the character of Luke Skywalker in some capacity, with Hamill portraying the character in five feature films.
The scene undoubtedly works as a satisfying story point, as it makes sense for Luke - after the lessons he learned in Star Wars: The Last Jedi - to push Rey away from Ahch-To. Similarly, seeing Luke finally lift an X-Wing out of the water after he failed to in The Empire Strikes Back is a wonderful callback. However, the scene is only brief, and Luke's only other appearance comes in the final shot of the film.

Related Luke Skywalker's Death In Star Wars: The Last Jedi Was Perfect Many fans might think Luke Skywalker's Star Wars death in The Last Jedi was weak, but it was a poetically fitting end to the character's arc. Another thing that helps Luke's story in Episode VIII stand above the others below it is the complex nature of his character. More so than any other film in the saga, The Last Jedi depicts Luke as a human being with flaws, doubts, fears, and failures.
