Star Wars: Mark Hamill Posts Heartwarming Luke Skywalker Tribute Ahead of The Rise of Skywalker Premiere

We're only a day away from the premiere of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker and Mark Hamill just wants to remind us all where it all started. Hamill has just paid tribute to George Lucas and it's a heartwarming reminder that the Star Wars creator has changed everybody's lives.

Hamill posted awesome photos of Lucas on Twitter along with a touching caption. Check it out below.

"As #TheRiseOfSykwalker arrives in theaters, let's not forget that it all started in the imagination of just 1 man: GEORGE LUCAS. He alone created that galaxy far, far away that has inspired generations. Then, he let me be a part of it & changed my life forever..." he wrote before adding the hashtag #ALifetimeOfLuke.

It's a fitting tribute to Lucas, who came up with the idea of Star Wars back in the 1970s. He also decided to cast the then-unknown Hamill as Luke Skywalker, a decision that would change Hamill's life forever. Needless to say, we should all be grateful to Lucas for giving us a story that would be with us forever.

The synopsis for The Rise of Skywalker reads as follows:

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker hits theaters on December 20.
