Mark Hamill Finally Meets Star Wars Co-Star 6 Years After Viral Tweet

Natalie Portman and Mark Hamill’s big introduction might have taken years to materialize, but «Star Wars» fans are happy that it finally happened. This is certainly the view of X user @Miss_AngelaH, who noted that she adores the photo while admitting to feeling shocked that it took so long for them to meet. Similarly, @tarastrong described it as a «Beautiful pic,» echoing the view of many other fans.

Meanwhile, @AshleyDCan responded with a joke about Luke Skywalker’s complicated relationship with his old man, Darth Vader (James Earl Jones). «[S]eems to have gone better than your meeting with your father,» the comment read. This view was shared by @CaptainMarc95, who recalled the father and son’s infamous lightsaber duel that saw Skywalker lose a limb. «Well, at least she didn’t cut your hand off like your dad did.»

That said, @DikeManDave had a bone to pick with Hamill, as the X user saw his tweet as disrespectful toward Skywalker’s surrogate mother. «Please respect canon. Until you left her for dead, your real mom was Beru,» they wrote.
