\"It says in the script, 'Luke Skywalker dies' and ... I just went, 'Hmmm?'\" he told \"GMA.\"
But Hamill has \"let it go\" and understands that the new trilogy now belongs to new \"Star Wars\" heroes like Daisy Ridley and John Boyega.
Though like Yoda in this latest film, there's always the chance Luke could come back as a Force ghost to train and influence the next generation of Jedi.
\"Who wouldn't [come back for another]?\" Hamill admitted when asked if he would consider being in the next film. \"If you can't have fun making a 'Star Wars' movie, you have a serious problem.\"
When pressed for a more straightforward answer about a return, Hamill said, \"I think that's probably fair to say yes ... but who knows?\"
J.J. Abrams, call your office. I think it's pretty clear @HamillHimself wants another shot at playing Luke Skywalker. #TheLastJedi #ForceGhost #EpisodeIX @GMA @Nightline pic.twitter.com/OVMRJBDfsa

What Hamill hasn't let go is the loss of his \"space twin\" and dear friend, Carrie Fisher, who died about a year before \"The Last Jedi\" came out. At the end of the film, Luke says goodbye to his twin sister, kissing her on the forehead before he seemingly heads out to face his nephew in a lightsaber combat that turns out to be a gambit.

\"When I see that scene, it just takes me out of the movie,\" he says. \"I was saying a final goodbye. But I didn't expect that to happen in real life.\"
He added, \"I wish she could be here now.\"
The interview with Hamill was made possible thanks to Tourism Ireland and Ireland.com, who invited the icon and his family to be part of the St. Patrick's Day parade in Dublin as the international guest of honor.

Hamill's great-grandmother was born in Ireland and now he was able to relish in his well-deserved \"Star Wars\" glory alongside his wife, Marilou, and his daughter, Chelsea.
\"As you get older, you start treasuring the times you spend with family,\" Hamill's daughter told \"GMA\" about the trip.
\"Star Wars: The Last Jedi\" is out now for digital download and on streaming services like iTunes and Amazon. It'll be available on DVD and Blu-ray on March 27.
ABC News and Lucasfilm are both part of parent company Disney.
