Clearly every bit as thrilled by the return of Luke Skywalker as much of the fandom, Mark Hamill took to Twitter to show his appreciation to Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau, who instigated that momentous return in Chapter 16 The Rescue.

In what has been a strong year for Star Wars with the final seasons of Resistance and The Clone Wars and the second, blockbuster season of The Mandalorian this moment ranks high; good to see that the man who has brought us Luke Skywalker for over 40 years is still enthused enough to publicly display his satisfaction.
