It can feel like the issue of spoilers has become worse in the social media age, but it was clearly always a problem for leaks.īecause Mark Hamill was the first actor to start this Star Wars tradition, the idea of an actor from the franchise being required to keep yet another big Star Wars secret almost feels like a passing of the torch, especially since Hamill’s presence on set was the detail Pedro Pascal was asked to keep quiet. It's perhaps most interesting that this was still such a huge concern when filming Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. Just as Mark Hamill was privy to one of the most iconic secret identity reveals in cinematic history, Pascal’s knowledge of Hamill reprising the role of Luke in The Mandalorian continues the Star Wars tradition that only a single actor on set is informed of a huge plot point before it’s revealed to the general public. Responding to the fan, Hamill explained that a fake revelation had been written into The Empire Strikes Back script to keep the true reveal a secret, which meant that only a select few (including himself) knew about Luke’s true parentage while filming. In a tweet from 2020 commending the “Luke, I am your father” scene from Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, a fan asked Hamill about the cast and crew’s reaction when they learned about the classic plot twist. I knew he was.” Since many of the actors present in the final scene, including Giancarlo Esposito, have mentioned they weren’t told of Luke’s return, the fact that Pascal was entrusted with the secret is very reminiscent of Mark Hamill’s own experience filming the original Star Wars trilogy. While promoting the film The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, Pascal gave an interview (via Vanity Fair) the interviewer asked if it was true that Pascal didn’t know that Luke Skywalker was going to be in The Mandalorian season 2 finale.
