This past weekend saw a special event in London where Mark Hamill got to interview Ray Davies of The Kinks, one of the actor's favorite bands, in front of an audience. While the majority of the show focused on discussing the band, Den of Geek reports that Hamill did make one comment about Star Wars, but it may have been a pretty big one.

I finish Episode VIII, and then I'm out of work.

So how in the world are we supposed to take that statement? On the one hand, Mark Hamill could just mean that he'll be temporarily out of work. We know that filming on Star Wars: Episode VIII passed the half way point about a month ago, meaning they could have as little as a couple of months left in the shoot. If Mark Hamill's job is done on Episode VIII by the end of the summer of 2016, and with the release date of Episode IX not until the summer of 2019, it's going to be some time before filming for that movie begins. We'd guess it will be more than a year before Mark Hamill would be needed for Star Wars: Episode IX.
