Fan Art Takes The Mandalorian to the Next Level with Sebastian Stan as Luke Skywalker
When Mark Hamill made his first surprise appearance in the Mandalorian at the end of season two, it drove fans wild.
Not only because of its surprising reveal but also because the fans love to see more of Luke's journey. Particularly from the years after the original trilogy.
Therefore a fan-made design depicting Sebastian Stan as the master Jedi has taken the internet by storm. Audiences have long been begging for a new Luke Skywalker-centric story.
Therefore Stan's uncanny resemblance to the iconic character makes it easy to see why his fan art has been so well-received.
One of the most amazing things about the fan art of Sebastian Stan as Luke Skywalker is how seamlessly he fits into the Star Wars universe.
Stan's chiseled features, rugged good looks, and piercing blue eyes perfectly capture the essence of Luke. Making it easy for fans to imagine him taking on the role of the legendary Jedi master.
The similar resemblance between a younger Hamill and Stan is so convincing you will have to do a double take to see who is really depicting the character.
Not to mention that the attention to detail in the image is incredible. The digital artist, BossLogic, manages to recreate Luke's iconic lightsaber, outfit, and even his signature hairstyle with stunning accuracy in the image.
Of course, such incredible images demonstrating the actors' clear likeness have influenced rumors of Sebastian Stan's future of actually playing Luke.
Speaking with Esquire in a previous interview, Stan addressed the possibility of stepping into Hamill's shoes, saying, "never say never".
Being his usual entertaining self, he also joked that Hamill was his father for real, but that rumor seems much less plausible.
Nevertheless, Stan's openness to playing the role certainly gives hope to any fans looking to see the actor actually pick up the green lightsaber for real.
Considering that Stan already has such a good relationship with Jon Favreau and Disney, maybe his version of Luke may have a chance after all.
Naturally, fans of the Mandalorian would welcome the idea, and ignoring the possibility in the show is a missed opportunity for sure.
What can be said for certain is that the fantastic fan art has captured the hearts and imaginations of Star Wars fans worldwide.
Through stunning attention to detail and a reimagining of the Star Wars universe, these artworks offer a tantalizing glimpse into a possible future for the character while also uniting fans in their shared love of the franchise.
Whether you're a die-hard fan of the original trilogy or a newcomer to the series with the Mandalorian, there's something undeniably thrilling about seeing Sebastian Stan step into the role of Luke Skywalker, even if only in fan art form.
