Luke Skywalker as Geral of Rivia's mentor

Back in March 2018, showrunner S Lauren Hissrich had described the role and qualities of Vesemir, describing Vesemir she said that he is fatherly (referring to him being a father figure to Geralt) as well as wise and ancient (referring to him being an experienced Witcher).

On that tweet, one fan had tweeted that Luke Skywalker or more accurately the actor who plays Luke Skywalker, Mark Hamil would be perfect for the role. While one fan's tweet is not enough to go on, but Mark Hamil himself replied on the fans tweet and said that he should play the role. Hamil's reply made it seem that he did not have too much background information but that he would still like to be a part of it.
