In the meantime here’s another touching  deed that Mark Hamill did before he took the flight to Cork today.

From BelfastLive:

Actor Mark Hamill, who plays the famous Jedi Knight , met up with super fan Jamie Harkin. The brave 17-year-old has raised more than £15,000 for other children battling the disease. And on Monday the Derry lad joined his idol for breakfast during a break in filming for the latest instalment of the sci-fi saga in Donegal.

“When I stood up to shake his hand he told me, ‘Sit down, you don’t need to stand up for me’.

“He chatted to everyone for a while, before turning to me, and he told me something that I really needed to hear after the last few weeks and months that I’ve had.

“I promised myself that I wouldn’t cry, but I just couldn’t help it, and then Mark hugged me and as he was sitting down, I saw that he was crying too.

“Seeing him like that, in normal clothes as opposed to Jedi robes, talking about normal things as opposed to saving the galaxy, he really is an extraordinary actor, not just because he played my childhood hero, but because despite being the star of the biggest franchise ever, he is still completely down to earth, and has remained human.”

 

We’re so proud of you Mark. Keep up the great work. We’re so lucky to have you. The best ambassador Star Wars will ever have. 

 

Special thanks to Terence Mulvey

    I love Mark so much. He is such a kind man. Not to mention a fellow nerd. I wish him all happiness (and the Force!) in the world.

    I have a feeling Rey is gonna have some kinda Vision where she faces Kylo like in Empire. Unless we see Adam in more scenes. Not sure I buy Kylo tracking them down to the first Jedi Temple
