Cameron Monaghan might play a hardened Jedi Knight in the upcoming Star Wars Jedi: Survivor game, but that doesn’t mean he knows everything about the Force and lightsabers.
That’s why the producers of the game decided to bring in a veteran Jedi Master for some expert advice – none other than Mark Hamill himself.

As fans of the Star Wars franchise know, Hamill played the iconic role of Luke Skywalker in the original trilogy, and reprised the role in the sequel trilogy. He’s undoubtedly a veteran when it comes to wielding a lightsaber and using the Force. So it’s no surprise that the producers of Jedi: Survivor would turn to him for some guidance.
The new video released by the game’s producers is a fun behind-the-scenes look at Hamill and Monaghan working together. In the video, Hamill is seen coaching Monaghan on how to properly handle a lightsaber, giving him tips and tricks to make his moves more effective. Hamill also shows Monaghan how to use the Force to manipulate objects and solve puzzles within the game.

Despite the video being a promotional piece for the game, it’s clear that Hamill and Monaghan had a lot of fun working together. Hamill is his usual charming and quirky self, and Monaghan seems genuinely excited to learn from the Jedi Master. It’s also great to see Hamill back in the Star Wars universe, even if it’s just for a promotional video.
Jedi: Survivor is the sequel to Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, and it follows the journey of Cal Kestis as he navigates a post-Order 66 galaxy. The game promises more exploration and missions than its predecessor, making it an exciting addition to the Star Wars gaming canon.
In conclusion, the behind-the-scenes video featuring Mark Hamill and Cameron Monaghan is a fun and entertaining look at the making of Jedi: Survivor. Hamill’s expertise and Monaghan’s enthusiasm make for a great combination, and fans of the Star Wars franchise will no doubt enjoy watching the two actors work together.
