A possible recent leak may have just confirmed that Luke Skywalker will show up in the upcoming Disney Plus seriesStar Wars: Ahsoka. Thanks to an unconfirmed source, it looks like everyone’s favorite Jedi-turned-hermit (no, the other one) has another appearance in his near future. But how accurate is this information?
Interestingly enough, this rumor stemmed from a review of the currentStar Warsseries,Andor. In the comment section of the review, one mysterious message alleged that the user’s husband worked onAndorand shared a few fun facts about the production. Namely, they mentioned that many of the props seen in the show are reused for the otherStar Warsproductions going on, includingThe Mandalorianand the upcomingAhsoka. But the comment also included a pretty confident insinuation thatMark Hamill himself is involvedwith the latter.

“Proud wife: my hubby worked on this, making lands and space ships,” said user errordite underThe Guardian’sAndorreview. “Some fun facts- the ships and set behind Diego above are carved from foam. They’re reused from [The Mandalorianseason 3] (Disney is very green you see) and then broken down and reused again for the next show. Which isAhsoka, with Rosario Dawson (and Mark Hamill!). And if you want to know how Disney keeps churning these out at such a rapid rate, it’s because they make them all at the same time!” Looks likeEzra Bridger may not beAhsoka’s only big guestcharacter.
It would certainly make sense that Hamill would show up as Luke Skywalker again, particularly after appearing in bothThe MandalorianandThe Book of Boba Fett. In the latter, he’s even seen interacting with Dawson’s Ahsoka Tano, setting a precedent for the 2 Force-users to meet again. Several users in theStar WarsLeaks subreddit seem to agree, saying thatLucasfilm Executive Creative Director Dave Filonihas suggested as much.
Naturally, this is far from any sort of official confirmation. For one, it’s difficult to verify errordite’s identity, much less the validity of these claims. But unlike many instances where someone offers unsubstantiated rumors, this one is absolutely plausible. Ahsoka and Luke have met before and reusing props definitely sounds like something Disney and Lucasfilm would do.
On the other hand, it should still be taken with a grain of salt.Star Warsshows have always been decent at hidingtheir biggest surprises, and there’s no indication that this particular trend has changed. However, if this does turn out to be true, then it suggests that Luke’s presence won’t beAhsoka’s most surprising twist. If nothing else, that should help keep those hype levels cruising.
Ahsokais set to premiere on Disney Plus in 2023.
