There have been a wide variety of Star Wars merchandise, celebrating nearly every major element in the franchise, not all of which are necessarily in need of celebrating.
Star Mark Hamill recently reacted to images featuring toys, figures, badges and more, all depicting the iconic moment in Empire Strikes Back when Luke Skywalker loses his hand. “Collectibles that commemorate a grievous bodily injury… what’s wrong with these people?!! Just say NO to [Luke Dismemberment Merch],” Hamill wrote.
Hamill last appeared as Skywalker in 2019’s The Rise of Skywalker, which concluded the Star Wars sequel trilogy. The ninth instalment in the Star Wars saga saw Luke appear as a Force ghost, giving Rey the lightsaber that once belonged to Leia, as well as advice on how best to embrace the Force and defeat the resurrected Emperor Palpatine.
Although Hamill himself has not appeared in the franchise since then, his likeness was used in the latest season of Disney+’s The Mandalorian, which saw the return of a younger Luke Skywalker, who made his way to Din Djarin to take Grogu, also know as The Child, and train him in the ways of the Force. It is uncertain if Grogu will return in Season 3 of the hit show.
