'When you’re in your 20s and 30s, it’s hard to think of yourself in your 50s and 60s,' Hamill said, 'but I certainly didn’t think I’d be on camera as long as I’ve been.'

In the interview, Hamill was asked about a business alliance between Disney with OpenAI, opening the door for fan-generated AI scenes using Star Wars characters and locales.

'It’s fascinating to see it develop, and I’m also apprehensive about how it will be used,' said Hamill.

'The story of the AI-generated actress that got signed by a major agency is mind-boggling,' Hamill said. 'Is she going to stay 33, or whatever her age is, forever?'

'It’s obviously hard to predict the future, but I guess I’m gonna have to talk to my family about if they want me to be in a Star Wars movie 30 years from now after I’m gone,' he said.
