From what I understand of it,
Matt Rugetti ... Luke's stunt double. (For the action scenes)
Max Lloyd-Jones ... Lukes actor/double AKA the actor who wore the computer generated mask that put Mark's face over his own.
Mark Hamill ... Luke's original actor contributes the legacy of the character with his former acting contributions. Mark's previous acting footage / images can be cast onto another person's face with the DeepFake technique (- or similar).
Supposedly voice editing was done to make the vocals sound more like Luke as well??? It seems as though Max provided the voice, but I'm not 100% certain.

Your line of thinking seems the same as Disney displayed, early on when it was scraping a bunch of history from Star Wars.
Why would you want to do the exact same thing they did during that time.
Don't you know. An ear for an ear makes the world deaf... I specifically changed this idiom in reference of how Twi'Lek's original creative design was altered for the Mandalorian.
@DvveeboAt first I was thinking the same as you in regards to the ST, but I'm not so sure anymore. The now "Legends" material was likely to get thrust aside one way or the other even if Lucas did the ST. He never considered books hard canon. Anyone that wanted to do post ROTJ content would have a real problem working it in with the Legends books.
So what happens if they keep building post ROTJ content from here and get an entire universe going that fans are major attached to? What if at the same time they do nothing much in the ST era to reinforce any fandom there?
Do they shift everything to line up with the ST, even if it means trashing current fan favorites, storylines, and other things? I'm not so sure the answer is yes anymore. @ToddyRocket1 may have just thrown down the best early prediction in SW history. lol

I said; [...] "scraping a bunch of history from Star Wars."
Disney specifically didn't even use G.L's notes nor ideas which he left with them as potential things to work with.
& I pointed out that new material such as Disney's Mandalorian censors Twi's without their original ears which were not Legends' material.
No one has to trash anything. You don't need one or the other when you can have them all. E.G. If you don't like [Ahsoka] - Don't watch her show. Simple as that. Should she have her show canceled because you and 500 others don't like her? No. It's the same thing for any [character] and their Era/show. Disney could have done a lot better at making inclusive decisions. But it's currently doing better than it previously was.
You don't have to trash fan favorites, designs, and story-lines to ""match up to the ST"" when you can literally make up fractured dimensions that allow fans to enjoy something they want to regardless of if it's ""canon"" or not. Rey doing that whole mirror thing, Ezra visiting that Force Machine thing in space, there are materials there to work with to imply that multiple versions of stories could exist. Even just areas that are strong with the Force, such as the cave where Luke faced a version of himself dressed as Darth Vader - such locations could be vessels into mini dimensions/stories - or perceived mini/alternate dimensions. (Pretty sure even the Clone Wars could have used some Night Sister/JarJar voodoo to space-magic-up-some AUs too... Or you know the Mortis Gods that Anakin rejected could have this potential. )@DvveeboYeah they could do that. That's basically what I'm saying. I think if it came to that, they would push the ST out of canon or otherwise diverge the timeline somehow. I didn't realize you were talking about George Lucas' ideas as well. They did literally trash that. By "trash" I was referring to forcing out of canon or otherwise halting story momentum to lineup with the ST.
Alternatively, they could deliberately just never get near the ST timeline. Lucasfilm has spent almost the past 20 years telling stories set between Attack of the Clones and A New Hope. They could treat the timeline between ROTJ and TFA the same way for another 2 or 3 decades lol.
Or as they get to the ST timeframe they could shift focus to areas of the galaxy the ST never showed us like Mandalore or Chiss space...- @Dvveebo My own personal feeling about the ST is that they shouldn't just leave it to fester there. I think that would be a drastic mistake.
Like it or not, it's episodes 7-9. That won't change, and there are a lot of fans of the new characters. I think they need to do the rumored "JJ Abrams cut" for Disney+ and follow that up with some new series with the current cast. Maybe a combination of live action and animation with Daisey Ridley, Jon Boyega, Oscar Isaac and the rest of the cast reprising their roles. Some great stories setting up Star Wars post Skywalker Saga could smooth over things the way Clone Wars did for the Prequel Trilogy.
@ArchAngeL-PCX wrote:Some cool news recently. Jon Favreau was on Good Morning America or one of the morning shows anyway. He was talking about Book of Boba Fett:
- It is a new series separate from Mandalorian Season 3
- Temuera Morrison will continue as Boba Fett
- Ming-Na Wen will also star as Fennec Shand
- Robert Rodriguez will be executive producer
- Mandalorian Season 3 will begin filming after Book of Boba Fett is competed, so I'm guessing it might not arrive until early 2022. He didn't say when Mando Season 3 will air. Maybe the schedule is such they might air them both at the same time.
I also saw a headline that said Ming-Na Wen will voice Fennec Shand in the Bad Batch series.

Boba will be getting his own show & the original Boba isn't around to see it... //(OT)
We can actively see that people who grow up with something become very emotionally attached to such things. //(All eras)
I'm observing people who are saying things like "It's about time!" and so on regarding their favorite characters, I get that feeling too... // (Within both OT & PT)
But at the same time I'm watching a part of (New) Star Wars get pushed away due to unpopularity... The same thing I grew up with when my favorite Star Wars was E1.
People are so quick to tear down something new and foreign to them. I'll never forget how people made me feel for liking PT as a kid. (In turn, it made me say things like; "I hate Star Wars, I prefer Star Trek - It's much more highbrow." Even though I secretly loved both. ) // (PT)
My worry is that ST fans are going to have to endure the same process, to wait until their favorite characters' actors/actresses are dead before they get any new stories, I guess.'Kinda thought the whole point of everything was to do better than previously - by pushing the ST off to the side & letting it rot there's no improvement in that aspect. (ST)
------------------------------------
I couldn't stand it in SWBF when it seemed like one era or one style of gameplay was being left out in the cold in favor of other crowds getting a surplus of stuff. So any time I could, I cast my vote for content that made sense. The problem for me was that some groups weren't going to have their modes/eras expanded on. (This is why I think each era needs their own game.)
Sure it's a heavy work load, but if a lot of the code is going to be similar to one another/for Frostbite why can't we just have A.I do most of the repetitive coding - if that's not already the case?
The Master Fold A.I has already shown that if you give them a specific task, they can out preform humans.
