Mark Hamill Didn't Actually Voice Young Luke Skywalker in THE MANDALORIAN

Here’s a bit of interesting information regarding the return of the younger Luke Skywalker in The Mandalorian… Mark Hamill didn’t actually voice the character. He didn’t say any of Luke’s lines during his appearance!

The Mandalorian creator Jon Favreau revealed this bit of news during the new Disney Gallery episode that focuses on the making of The Mandalorian Season 2. He shared:

"Something people didn't realize is that his voice isn't real. His voice, the young Luke Skywalker voice, is completely synthesized using an application called Respeecher."

Wow! That’s pretty damn rad! Favreau went on to explain how the process worked. Turns out, they went through the Star Wars sound archives to collect older samples of Hamill from when he was younger, and from that, they created a construct of his earlier Luke Skywalker voice:

"So I had archival material from Mark in that era. We had clean recorded ADR from the original films, a book on tape he'd done from those eras, and then also Star Wars radio plays he had done back in that time. I was able to get clean recordings of that, feed it into the system, and they were able to slice it up and feed their neural network to learn this data."

Ya gotta love what technology can do! It’s pretty crazy to see how all of this tech is evolving and how it’s changing the way that people can tell stories in movies and on TV. They’ll just be able to create a younger clone of Mark Hamill in a few years.
