Luke and Leia reunited: Vivien Lyra Blair meets Mark Hamill

Well, if this doesn’t put a whacking great big grin on your face, nothing will. This past weekends Fan Expo San Francisco saw guests (and galactic twins) Mark Hamill and Vivien Lyra Blair meet and give us this magic photo as Luke and Leia met once again. No news on future projects in the galaxy far, far away starring Vivien or Mark – they likely wouldn’t share scenes together as they play twins at very different points of their lives – but we can only hope there’s plenty more in the stars for both of them.

We’ve not had the good fortune (so far) to speak with Mark Hamill here on the site, but we were lucky enough to welcome Vivien back to Making Tracks at Celebration Europe in April this year, a panel that you can listen to below.
