Star Wars: Does Mark Stan Stan For Skywalker?
Sebastian Stan said he’d be up to play Luke Skywalker if….
Love, love, love this storyline.
For just about a year now, we’ve been following this feed.
Firstly, it seems as if Mark Hamill (Star Wars) and Sebastian Stan (Marvel) created a mutual admiration society.
Secondly, came Good Morning America:
Sebastian Stan on rumors of him playing a young Luke Skywalker in #StarWars: "If @HamillHimself calls me personally to tell me that he feels inclined to share this role with me then I'll believe it." 👀https://t.co/i9rZzYvW4s pic.twitter.com/MvftVLlcLk

Meanwhile, the pair’s banter goes back several years:
Sorry to disappoint you but I refuse to say "Sebastian Stan-I AM YOUR FATHER!" (even though, in fact, I am) 😜 #SorryNotSorry #MySonSebastian pic.twitter.com/A6e4t6GkXC

CBR.com’s Ethan Alexander added:
In an interview with Good Morning America, Stan said, “Well, if Mark Hamill calls me personally to tell me that he feels inclined to share this role with me, then I’ll believe it. Until then, I won’t believe it.”
However, and I speak from experience, I initially thought that The Mandalorian had actually cast Stan as Hamill’s stand-in for the Season 2 finale. Then, I saw the CGI and wished they had!
Alexander explained:
Hamill has voiced support in the past, but as of yet, there’s no word on if he’s personally reached out to Stan following the interview.
Heck, Mark has tacitly given his blessing. Sorta:
#HBD Sebastian, maybe you’ll are the only one real successor as Luke Skywalker 🎉🎉 pic.twitter.com/Fw8JP8oC9w

Hey, there seems to be no harm in endorsing this fan-casting. Hopefully Master Skywalker, @HamillHimself does the same.
But what do you think? Could Sebastian Stan stand-in for Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker? Do you, like Mark, stan Stan for Luke? Let us know in the comments below.
