If you watch the video on how they did Luke for the Mandalorian finale, they mention that his voice was synthesized using a tool called Respeecher:
https://www.respeecher.com/.
They have demo videos on their site so you can see what it does. It looks like you can feed a bunch of existing audio from the voice you want to replicate -- in this case 1970s-80s era Mark Hamill -- and it will convert the new actor's voice to sound like that voice.
They don't mention if they had Hamill record the audio to get his own vocal styles and then use the Respeecher tool to de-age it, or if they used the actor who provided the physical performance for the voice, which would match the lip-syncing better.
Presumably, they used the same process for this week's episode too.
Another interesting thing of note, the actor who played the X-wing pilot last week (the one who wasn't Mr. Kim from Kim's Convenience) is the actor who played Luke's body-double in the Mandalorian episode -- and presumably this episode too.
