“The Mandalorian” stunned followers by bringing again Luke Skywalker in its second season finale. The younger Jedi confirmed up in a second that was each thrilling and heartbreaking — he saved Mando and Grogu from Moff Gideon however took Grogu from his adopted house dad. We’re unsure what’s going to occur to Grogu in Season 3, however we do know that we need to see extra of Luke Skywalker.

And whereas Mark Hamill clearly can’t play younger Luke, there is somebody who can. Someone who followers have been saying ought to play the character for years. Someone who has even endorsed it himself.

To put it plainly: solid Sebastian Stan as younger Luke, you cowards!

MAJOR SPOILER ALERT!

Someone ought to have informed Jon Favreau that once they have been making Chapter 16 of #TheMandalorian, that they had Sebastian Stan as an choice to play Luke Skywalker as an alternative of utilizing CGI. Im unsure, however I believe @HamillHimself would have been comfortable with it as effectively. pic.twitter.com/uzwbMGvdOy

The resemblance of Stan to a younger Hamill is fairly uncanny, however that’s not the one cause followers have been calling for his involvement in “Star Wars.” There’s just about an ideal storm of issues that make him absolutely the solely alternative if we have been to ever get a younger Luke in “The Mandalorian” or every other live-action “Star Wars” property.

As the tweet says, he’s a lot already primed for the function. He’s an actor already working beneath the Disney umbrella along with his Marvel movies, so it might be fairly straightforward to lure him to the Lucasfilm aspect. (As Pixar simply did with Chris Evans.) And even though he’s simply boarded a Hulu biopic to play Tommy Lee reverse Lily James’ Pamela Anderson, his solely present mission is “The Falcon and the Winter Soldier,” which has already completed filming. The third season of “The Mandalorian” in all probability wouldn’t begin filming till someday subsequent yr however, both method, that leaves a handy slot of time out there by way of scheduling.

Back in 2017, at Rhode Island Comic Con, Stan expressed curiosity in taking part in the function in a video that rapidly went viral. Of course, one would assume that Hamill may need to give his personal approval in terms of another person taking on the enduring function in some capability. And he technically did, making a tweet that joked, “Sorry to disappoint you but I refuse to say ‘Sebastian Stan – I AM YOUR FATHER!’ (Even though, in fact, I am.)” Yes, even Mark Hamill desires to see Sebastian Stan as Luke Skywalker. And that’s a reasonably large endorsement.

Come on, Disney! Give the individuals what they need!

We’ll forgive “The Mandalorian” this one time for utilizing CGI. Maybe Stan wasn’t out there or simply couldn’t commit. But mainly, if “The Mandalorian” goes to offer us extra Luke Skywalker, simply solid Stan and make everybody comfortable. We assure that it’ll be the win that all of us want in 2021.

Sorry to disappoint you however I refuse to say “Sebastian Stan-I AM YOUR FATHER!” (regardless that, actually, I’m) 😜 #SorryNotSorry #MySonSebastian pic.twitter.com/A6e4t6GkXC
