Luke Skywalker may have died in The Last Jedi but, as he says himself, "no one's ever really gone." That, along with him telling Kylo "see you around, kid" very much leaves the door open for Luke to return in Episode IX.

We've seen Obi-Wan and Yoda both return as Force Ghosts, so it would make perfect sense of Luke to come back as one too, either to help Rey further in her training or as a spectre haunting Kylo Ren.

Mark Hamill has said he'd be up for it, and you'd have to imagine that J.J. Abrams, who didn't get to work with him too much on The Force Awakens, would be keen on having a bit more to do with Luke.

Likelihood: 9/10
