He should really be thankful he still has a full head of hair, can you imagine a bald, fat Luke Skywalker?

Good for him for getting in shape at that age!

You guys should look up 'bring back star wars' On YouTube.
Channel 4 in the UK let this guy doorstep all the cast in order to get them all Ito one room together again.
Ford wouldn't even reply and Hamill wanted $50,000 to be interviewed but Carrie Fisher takes part and gives the best, funniest and most revealing interview ever.

Well worth an hour of your time. Just ignore the host. He's annoying.

I'd never seen that. Thanks for posting. I cracked up at Ford's auto-erotic asphyxiation gag in Fisher's closet.

From a SW forum
I heard a rumour from a mate in LA that Jack Reynor had been auditioned and possibly cast for a role (possibly as Luke's son, Anakin). In fairness, thousands will have auditioned by the time they start filming, but he's got a bit of a profile in Hollywood now, especially being in the new Transformers, so there might be some truth to it. And it'd be pretty cool to have more young Irish actors coming to attention in major movies.

I was doing some internet searches, looking up old photos on Hamil's auto accident prior to Empire, Man he really messed his face up. It's amazing how it changed how he looked.

Just doesn't seem to fit for this situation though. Hopefully he'll run into Boba Fett's son, Jango.

In some expanded universe books, Luke's sons name is anakin. In others, it's Ben.
