Mark Hamill's Golden Globes Tweet Will Warm The Hearts Of 'Star Wars' Fans

LOADING ERROR LOADING For many celebrities, Sunday’s Golden Globes was a chance to party with old friends. For Mark Hamill, it was a chance to have a first time familiy reunion. Although Hamill played Luke Skywalker in six “Star Wars” films, none of them had Natalie Portman, who played his mom, Padme Amilada, in the prequel trilogy: “Phantom Menace,” “Attack of the Clones” and “Revenge of the Sith.” As a result, Hamill and Portman had never officially met in any capacity — until last night’s awards show.

Now I have finally met my "mother", thanks to the @goldenglobes . pic.twitter.com/lkRZQgmLmp — Mark Hamill (@MarkHamill) January 8, 2024 The photo took the internet — pardon the pun — by force.

And, yes, people were amused. My nerdy little brain just exploded. (I guess something I don’t mention enough is my love of “Star Wars.”) https://t.co/bEoN8Y0M8J — (@ClassicFilmDame) January 8, 2024 Uplifting; 73 year old son meets his mom for the first Time!
