A version of Luke Skywalker, age-appropriate to his life after “Return of the Jedi,” recently rose from the uncanny valley to appear in “The Mandalorian” and “The Book of Boba Fett.” Several actors including Mark Hamill, the original Luke Skywalker, participated in bringing Luke to life again for these two Disney+ shows. Hamill was on the set of “The Mandalorian,” and obviously his likeness was used, but his body double for that appearance was Max Lloyd-Jones. In “The Book of Boba Fett,” Graham Hamilton served as his body double and Scott Lang (not to be confused with Paul Rudd’s “Ant-Man” character) served as his stunt double. Meanwhile, Luke’s voice was reportedly synthesized through an application called Respeecher, which means that “from a certain point of view,” as Obi-Wan would say, A.I. has also helped play Luke.

Some people have said that instead of pouring all this money into a ghoulish digital recreation of Luke, Lucasfilm should have just recast the role with Sebastian Stan, who does bear a resemblance to Hamill circa the 1980s. Hamill himself even responded to this in the media. 

One thing is clear: like Darth Vader, it takes an Ewok village to play Luke Skywalker, and now you can add Grant Feely to the list of actors involved in portraying him during the Disney era of “Star Wars.”

“Obi-Wan Kenobi” hits Disney+ on May 25, 2022.
