Ireland loves Mark Hamill and Mark Hamill loves Ireland.
For any Irish Star Wars fan, the current activity on Malin Head must be like a dream come true. Characters like Luke Skywalker have been transported from a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away straight to our doorstep.
Footage emerged of Hamill shaking hands with some young fans in Donegal, proving himself to be a true gent yet again.
Not only that, but once he saw that footage on Twitter, he responded by saying “People of IRELAND R amongst the sweetest-most kind-hearted in the World-Made me feel like part of the family”.
You’re welcome back any time Mr. Skywalker.
