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.
