"I am so grateful to [creator George Lucas] for letting me be a part of that back in the day, the humble days when George called Star Wars ‘the most expensive low-budget movie ever made,'" said Hamill during an interview with ComicBook.

Mark Hamill cautioned that fans should not expect him to return as a world-weary Luke Skywalker in any forthcoming 'Star Wars' installments.

Many fans were no doubt hoping that Hamill might make an appearance in one of the next "Star Wars" films. Daisy Ridley will be reprising the role of Rey for a film set 15 years after the events of "The Rise of Skywalker," in which she might be able to use the guidance of a Force ghost.
