Sebastian Stan is reacting to rumors about a Star Wars casting.

The 38-year-old Falcon and the Winter Soldier actor made an appearance on Good Morning America.

During the interview, he addressed speculation about him being asked to play a young Luke Skywalker in the iconic franchise, which is something fans have buzzed about for years. Mark Hamill also previously gave his support to the actor years ago, calling him a “wonderful actor” on Twitter.

“If Mark Hamill calls me personally to tell me that he feels inclined to share this role with me, then I’ll believe it,” he said.

“Until then, I won’t believe it.”

Fans have noticed that the two look similar for years, which Mark Hamill himself has commented on, jokingly calling himself Sebastian‘s father.

One Star Wars star recently opened up about her experience with bullying after starring in the film franchise.

Kelly Marie Tran isn’t holding back.

The 32-year-old actress is getting candid about the bullying she faced after being cast in 2017′s Star Wars: The Last Jedi, which resulted in criticism that caused her to eventually delete social media and withdraw from public life, which she discussed in an essay for the New York Times.

She is now speaking out about the experience in conversation with THR, explaining that the experience felt like she “fell in love very publicly and then very publicly had an embarrassingly horrible breakup.”

“If someone doesn’t understand me or my experience, it shouldn’t be my place to have to internalize their misogyny or racism or all of the above,” she said of what she learned in therapy after the harassment.

“Maybe they just don’t have the imagination to understand that there are different types of people living in the world.”

“What’s interesting to me about working in this industry is that certain things become so public, even if you don’t really mean them to be, [like] the succession of events in which I left the internet for my own sanity…it was basically me being like, ‘Oh, this isn’t good for my mental health. I’m obviously going to leave this.’”

“I left. I said no to a lot of things. It felt like I was just hearing the voice of my agents and my publicity team and all of these people telling me what to say and what to do and how to feel. And I realized, I didn’t know how I felt anymore. And I didn’t remember why I was in this in the first place,” she said.

“Any time that happens, I have to close up shop and go away for a while and really interact in the real world — read books and journal and go on hikes and look at a tree and remind myself that there was a fire that burned inside of me before Star Wars, before any of this. And I needed to find that again.”

She also explained how she recorded her Raya dialogue amid the pandemic.

Disney+ has recruited Indira Varma for the upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi series.

Details about the 47-year-old actress’s character are being kept under wraps, according to Deadline.

She will join Ewan McGregor in the title role and Hayden Christensen, as Darth Vader, in the series.

The Obi-Wan series “begins 10 years after the dramatic events of Revenge of the Sith.” The series is set to be helmed by Deborah Chow, who has worked on The Mandalorian.

Indira has appeared in many projects that you’ll be familiar with including HBO’s Game of Thrones, ABC’s For Life, Bones, Luther, Torchwood, and Carnival Row.

She has also appeared in such films as The One and Only Ivan, Crisis, and Exodus: Gods and Kings.

Tom Holland auditioned for the role of Finn in the new Star Wars movies and totally blew his audition!

During an interview with Backstage, the 24-year-old actor was asked, “Do you have an audition horror story you could share with us?”

“I’ve had quite a few. I’ve read the wrong lines at the wrong audition before,” Tom shared. “I remember my audition for Star Wars, I was like four or five auditions in, and I think I was auditioning for John Boyega‘s role. I remember doing this scene with this lady, bless her, and she was just a drone. So I was doing all of this, like, ‘We gotta get back to the ship!’ And she was going, ‘Bleep, bloop bloop, bleep bloop.’ I just couldn’t stop laughing. I found it so funny. And I felt really bad, because she was trying really hard to be a convincing android or drone or whatever they’re called. Yeah, I obviously didn’t get the part. That wasn’t my best moment.”

Tom recently expressed his desire to take on this iconic role!

Hours after it was announced that Gina Carano would no longer be part of The Mandalorian and Star Wars franchise, fans have picked their favorite to take over her role – Lucy Lawless.

Carasynthia “Cara” Dune is a former Rebel shock trooper turned mercenary in the popular Disney+ series, who eventually becomes a marshal for the New Republic.

While Gina originated the part, fans on social media are adamant that Lucy would be an even better actor for the role.

Star Wars fans are also suggesting that the franchise write an entirely new character just for Lucy as well.

“I’m 100% on board with @RealLucyLawless joining The SWU! She would be amazing!” one fan wrote in support of the suggestion. “I think I’d rather her be her own new character, though. Let Cara Dune just fade from existence. How about it @Jon_Favreau and @dave_filoni?
#LucyLawlessInStarWars”

Another fan added, “The only acceptable answer to who should now play Cara Dune is Lucy Lawless.”

If you missed it, Gina isn’t the only actor let go over controversy. See who else was here…
