Mark Hamill posts tribute to Daisy Ridley on Twitter, 'Star Wars' fans go nuts

In celebration of Star Wars actor Daisy Ridley's birthday, Mark Hamill posted a hilarious picture from the set of Episode VIII.

On Twitter, Hamill shared this image of himself on Ridley's back, a clear homage to Luke carrying Yoda while training in The Empire Strikes Back.

Star Wars fans immediately saw this as a perfect Photoshop opportunity and began sharing their own creations, many of which Hamill happily retweeted.

Hamill's Twitter account is pretty hilarious in that he loves messing with fans; the day before sending out this image, he hyped up an "epic Episode VIII behind-the-scenes pic." Well, he definitely wasn't wrong about it being epic.

Star Wars: Episode VIII will hit theaters on December 15, 2017.
