Hamill also got candid when a fan asked, "At that very moment, were you thinking 'This is gonna be my big break' or 'Crap, it's early, dusty and way too bright'?"
Judging by my clueless expression, probably both. Crew was kind but thought #SW was "rubbish"-I kept telling them"We're on a winner!"#LOLuke https://t.co/S6mzZbWLvD

Boyega's Finn had his own big start in the "Star Wars" galaxy in "The Force Awakens," and he'll join Hamill's Luke, Daisy Ridley's Rey, and the extended fam in "The Last Jedi."
Hamill and Boyega shared a very father/son exchange to celebrate the young star's 25th b-day:
Shout-out to @JohnBoyega for no reason other than being wickedly-proficient w/ a lightsaber w/ no training whatsoever. You do me proud, son! pic.twitter.com/xeCFbzA9ph
