Hamill was a part of the original Star Wars trio, playing Luke Skywalker in George Lucas‘s first three films alongside Harrison Ford as Han Solo and Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia. For the latest trilogy, Hamill has reprised his part as the Jedi warrior. He made his first appearance in the J.J. Abrams-directed Star Wars: Episode VII – The Force Awakens towards the very end in a scene with Ridley.

Ridley has taken on the lead role of Rey in the new films, and her character appears to be a Jedi like Luke Skywalker. Ridley was among the up-and-coming stars to join the Star Wars franchise, along with John Boyega (Finn), Oscar Isaac (Poe Dameron) and Adam Driver (Kylo Ren).

Star Wars: Episode VIII, which is currently filming, is slated to hit theaters Dec. 15, 2017.
