Mark Hamill just dropped a major
Star Wars spoiler on Twitter: a video of him getting his facial hair removed from
The Force Awakens. He also posted this message: "Haven't seen my chin since May '15, so #FarewellFacialFur & #ByeByeBeard (at least til #EpisodeIX) @popculturequest."
Since he wasn't onscreen for much of
The Force Awakens, fans are bolstered by his tweet that seems to indicate Luke Skywalker will be around at least until
Episode IX.
Fans expected him to die in the last film because, well, that's what beloved
Star Wars characters
do. But for now it looks like Skywalker won't become a "Force ghost" for at least two more films.
May the Force be with you. I'll see you next week,
Bobby
