We don’t know what he will be up to in Episode VIII. Hell, we don’t even know his official status in The Force Awakens with less than a month to go. But what we DO know, at least from Mark Hamill’s tweet below, is that Luke will be donning a beard once again as cameras begin to roll for Episode VIII.
Last shaved on 10/22 after final day of my 2nd #TheFlash (which airs 12/8 #XmasTrix), just in time for Ep VIII-whew! https://t.co/UNsPDaqFT2
