Mark Hamill was a guest last night on Jimmy Fallon, discussing Masters of the Universe: Revelation and of course his appearance in The Mandalorian, which even to a veteran of shock and surprise like Mark was unexpected.

“Talk about unexpected. I’d finished playing that part and I never expected to do it again. I thought if they ever tell stories of Luke in that period, post the originals and pre-sequels, they’d get an age-appropriate actor. So when John Favreau and Dave Filoni told me what they wanted to do, I was just stunned.”

Mark also got stuck in with the usual Fallon fun on the show, taking part in Know Your Role.
