Mark Hamill has finally met Natalie Portman, who played the role of Padmé Amidala — Luke Skywalker’s mother — in the Star Wars franchise.
On Twitter, Hamill posted a photo of himself and Portman, who were both at last night’s Golden Globes award show. In the caption, Hamill joked that he finally met his “mother,” as Portman played Padmé in the Star Wars prequels. Having previously met Anakin actor Hayden Christensen, Hamill has now officially been photographed with both of his on-screen Star Wars parents.
