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

About the episode:
Mark Hamill was seen revising his character of Luke Skywalker in The Mandalorian's season finale which was directed by Reed, who has also helmed a handful of Ant-Man films. The episode in question also featured Ming Na Wen of Two And A Half Men fame. The episode saw Hamill's Jedi Master of a character meet up with Pedro Pascal's bounty hunter, who is colloquially called Mando through the show, and his fellow teammates. The objective of the meet in question is to take Grogu aka Baby Yoda to where he belongs. The subsequent sequence in which he fights the Dark Troopers, which acted as a build-up scene, earned praises from the devotees. For the sequence, Hamill appeared as a de-aged version of himself, who helped in resurrecting his character through filming some motion capture sequences. He was seen accompanying yet another iconic character, R2D2.
