Star Wars fans freak out as Mark Hamill makes surprise appearance on Disneyland tour

Mark Hamill – AKA your boy Luke Skywalker – surprised a group of Star Wars fans on a theme park ride far far away (well, Disneyland California).

In a Twitter video posted by the sci-fi saga's official account, a Star Tours leader announces to the group “actually, you know what, the captain did mention something about a special passenger. Oh, and the Force is strong with this one...”. And that’s when Hamill bursts into the room, with his greetings drowned out by delighted shrieks from fans.

• Mark Hamill's latest message will send all those Last Jedi fan theories into complete overdrive

Hamill then joked with the group “Wait a minute, there’s no Star Wars fans here, right?” After the laughter died down, the actor said, "I'm so happy to be here in Disneyland with you today. The first time I came here I was a little kid and I used to daydream about someday working at Disneyland. So thank you for making my dream come true."

Hamill then posed for a selfie with fans, before buckling up on the 3D simulator ride himself. As it started he turned to fans, saying "I almost forgot: may the Force be with you!"

Watch out Porgs, looks like you've still got serious competition to become Star Wars' most beloved star.
