Mark Hamill approves of casting young Skywalker on Obi-Wan Kenobi
The original trilogy star as Luke Skywalker is thrilled with the young actor who will play the series' iconic role.
In the upcoming TV show about Obi-Wan Kenobi, viewers will hear many iconic names for the franchise. Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen will return to their roles for the first time since the prequels. Another iconic role will be played by a newcomer: the young Grant Feli will appear in the film as a young Luke Skywalker. And he can already be proud of himself now: he was approved by the "real" Skywalker.
Feli made a brief appearance in the recently released Obi-Wan Kenobi trailer, which also saw McGregor's Kenobi exploring Tatooine. In a report on The Hollywood Reporter that followed the release of the trailer, we were told that the boy was Grant Fehli, who, according to iMDb, only starred in one episode of Kaleidoscope of Horror.
