Mark Hamill Shares Awesome TLJ Throwback Photo With Favorite Star Wars Co-Star


Everyone is celebrating the first year anniversary of Star Wars: The Last Jedi so it's no surprise that Mark Hamill is joining the fun. The Star Wars: Episode IX actor just shared an awesome throwback photo featuring one of his favorite co-stars in the film.

Hamill posted the picture on his official Twitter account. The image features Hamill with Adrian Edmondson, who played Captain Peavey of the First Order in The Last Jedi. Hamill even revealed that he is a huge fan of Edmondson's work on the British sitcoms The Young Ones and Bottom. Take a look at the tweet below.

"Me reading #TheLastJedi Call Sheet: (thrilled) 'ADRIAN EDMONDSON?!!! I wonder if it's the same @AdrianEdmondson that was in The Young Ones & Bottom?' #DUH Seriously Hamill, how many Adrian Edmondsons do you think there are in show-biz?" Hamill wrote, adding the hashtag #FanBoyMeetsComicGenius.

The actor's followers were clearly pleased to see that Hamill knew about Edmondson's shows, let alone be a fan of his work.

Some fans were hoping that the image Hamill shared may have been taken from the set of Episode IX. After all, Captain Peavey is expected to continue working for the First Order despite their defeat in The Last Jedi. Although this has yet to be confirmed, we're hoping to see more of Edmondson in the next Star Wars film.

Star Wars: Episode IX has not yet been given an official title. However, the sequel is expected to hit theaters on December 20, 2019.
