Mark Hamill’s recent “out of work” comment at a
London charity event sparked ongoing speculations
of Luke Skywalker’s possible death in Star Wars:
Episode 8. Hamill quickly took to Twitter and
clarified that the statement saying that his “out of
work” remark meant that the production is
“wrapping soon.”
Star Wars fans are starting to fear about the rumored
death of one the franchise's iconic characters, Luke
Skywalker, following Mark Hamill's controversial "out
of work" statement that fueled speculations over the
Jedi Knight's fate in the upcoming eight sequel.
If Hamill's recent statement is of any indication, then
he might have accidentally dropped a major spoiler
about the purported events in the forthcoming Star
Wars: Episode VIII. Fans are still trying to make sense
of what happened in "The Force Awakens" after Han
Solo's death. The strong emotional reaction to Solo's
surprising end is a testament of how fans might react
if Luke dies.
At a recent London event supporting "The Big Issue,"
a homeless charity, Hamill reportedly said "I finish
Episode VIII, and then I'm out of work" before the
crowd fueling speculations of Luke's death in the
eight installment.

As mentioned by The Hollywood Reporter, The Force
Awakens may have started the trend of killing off the
original Star Wars cast members one by one with
each sequel. But the report also stated that Hamill
probably misspoke or intentionally mislead the
audience with confusing remarks to keep them in a
constant state of suspense.
But Hamill quickly to the social media to clarify his
statement that got so many fans extremely worried. It
appears that they still mourn over Han Solo's death
and killing off Luke in the next movie may prove too
much for them to take.
"I meant 'out of work' because #Ep8 is wrapping
soon, OK? #DontOverThinkEVERYTHING
#ParsingHamill #WaitForVIII," Hamill tweeted.

While many fans struggled to accept Solo's
unexpected fate in the "Star Wars: The Force
Awakens," the events in Episode 7 seem to suggest a
darker undertone in the Episode 8. It was triggered
when Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) was seduced by the
Dark Side of the Force which led him to kill his father,
Han Solo (Harrison Ford). Then Luke made a
surprising appearance in the last scene to indicate
that Star Wars is far from over. Fans expect to see the
last Jedi to train Rey (Daisy Ridley) who is currently
rumored as the present incarnation of the Jedi order's
founder.
As reported by the Collider, Luke may not end up the
way Solo did in Episode 7. There is a likelihood that
the Jedi Knight may follow Obi-Wan's lead and
transform into a Force ghost. So for now, it is best to
take speculations with a grain salt and avoid taking
every comment so literally.
