'That came with a hand!' If Mark Hamill had his way, that would be his first line to Rey when we revisit the Master Jedi in the opening moments of The Last Jedi. And for all we know, that very well could be what he says upon first lying eyes on the young scavenger from Jakku, thrust into an adventure not of her making. Though, we think Mark is just having a good time in his latest attemtp at making everyone smile.
Mark Hamill channels Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader to surprise Star Wars fans and announce that he's offering a bonus experience: attend a pre-screening of The Last Jedi and get lunch with him in LA! For your chance to win the bonus prize, plus three epic Star Wars experiences, you can enter at Omaze.

Starlight Children's Foundation is joining Star Wars: Force for Change as the initiative's newest charity beneficiary in 2017.
