With the official first announcement that filming is set to begin, a true jedi master is set to return as in Star Wars: Episode IX Luke Skywalker is returning. That's right, the iconic star Mark Hamill will return in some form or another. It doesn't specifically say he's coming into that role, but what else would he play. It could be the physical return of the character, though most likely with be a force ghost in nature acting in guidance to Rey after the loss of Carrie Fisher and the events of "The Last Jedi".
