Luke Skywalker's death in Star Wars: The Last Jedi was as divisive as the movie itself, with some of the opinion that the ageing warrior was given the poignant, peaceful sendoff he deserved, and others left feeling disappointed that the iconic character wouldn't play a more heroic role in Episode IX.
There was always hope that Luke would return as a force ghost to guide Rey on the final stage of her journey, but if the Tweet below from Mark Hamill is any indication, that's probably not going to happen!
Hamill is known for poking some good-natured fun at The Last Jedi and Star Wars in general, so we could be reading too much into this. That said, if Luke was set to return for Episode IX, something tells us he probably wouldn't have sent this Tweet!
