The worlds of Star Wars and its future developments recently intersected when luke Skywalker had an encounter with some members from the cast of The Mandalorian and Grogu. In a recent post on his social media platform Bluesky, Hamill shared his own fanboy experience when he met Sigourney Weaver.
“I’ve been a fan of Sigourney Weaver since watching one of my all-time favorite films, ALIEN. I couldn’t help but go full fanboy yesterday and asked for a photo. She told me she’s now part of The Mandalorian cast! talk about timing—she’s now exploring that galaxy far away long after my time!” 💔

This moment highlights how even seasoned actors like Hamill can still feel awe towards their peers. While he seems to have moved on from his role in Star Wars , it seems Weaver has also distanced herself from her past work within the franchise but has recently returned to join this expansive universe—a fact that caught Hamill by surprise.
An Iconic Image Captured Forever
The photograph taken during their meeting encapsulates pure joy; it’s evident how thrilled Mark was while Sigourney appeared slightly taken aback by this unexpected encounter.
“I’ve cherished Sigourney Weaver ever since one of my all-time favourite films, ALIEN… Might not resist going all fanboy on her yesterday & asking for a picture.” — @markhamillofficial.bsky.social
