It was Harrison's idea to hold hands so our movements would be consistent & Carrie's eye line would match up. Other than this moment, we hardly ever held hands. 👬#TrueStory https://t.co/kT7tdDjoAh

Dear @HamillHimself,

When I was a kid, this photo hung on my bedroom wall. STAR WARS, and Luke Skywalker in particular, meant a great deal to me.

Some things never change.

It was an honor and a dream come true to work with you on @themandalorian. Thank you. #MTFBWY pic.twitter.com/trJulIaEf6
