He’s an actor talented enough to do it alone, and I shouldn’t put my thumb on the scale because it’s not my choice. ‘ It’s from Disney and Lucasfilm [choice]. I don’t want to interrupt any other potential Luke. “
Hamill added, “But I would love to work with him. Dammit, I would play your dad someday.”
