Star Wars icon Mark Hamill thinks the beloved sci-fi franchise should focus on the future from now on, and that means saying goodbye to his legendary character, Luke Skywalker.

While promoting his new movie The Life of Chuck, the actor has definitely ruled out a return to the saga, and he has pretty good reasons.

"We never expected it to become a permanent franchise and a part of pop culture like that. But my deal is, I had my time. I'm appreciative of that, but I really think they should focus on the future and all the new characters. And by the way, when I disappeared in [The Last Jedi], I left my robes behind. And there's no way I’m gonna appear as a naked Force ghost."
