Lucasfilm Recasts Luke Skywalker for LEGO Special

Overview

• On Tuesday, August 18, Lucasfilm confirmed that Eric Bauza will voice Luke Skywalker in LEGO Star Wars: The Mandalorian, which begins streaming on Disney+ on September 2.
• Mark Hamill does not perform Luke in this project and Lucasfilm says the recasting applies only to this special and does not announce a permanent replacement.
• The animated special recreates Luke’s Season 2 rescue sequence against Dark Troopers while keeping his black costume and green lightsaber but adding LEGO-style humor.
• Animation lets Lucasfilm portray a younger-looking Luke without live-action visual effects, a choice that reflects different casting needs across formats.
• The LEGO special arrives the same day Disney+ adds The Mandalorian & Grogu (2026), underscoring Lucasfilm’s strategy of reusing Mandalorian-era scenes across theatrical, home video, and streaming releases.
