VIDEO: Watch Mark Hamill Hilariously Get Luke Skywalker in 'Star Wars' Character Instagram Filter
Iconic Luke Skywalker actor Mark Hamill has joined the ranks of celebrities trying to get their own characters on the new popular Instagram filter series. In the video below posted by Hamill, the Star Wars: Rise of Skywalker actor waits patiently to get Luke in the shuffling filter. He is visibly excited when he finally does, later admitting in the caption “What are the chances I would get THIS guy? Never tell me the odds.....(#ItActuallyTookMeMoreThan20Tries).”
Star Wars isn’t the only fandom to get a character filter. Last week, The Office stars Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey hilariously attempted over and over again to get their respective characters, Pam Beesly and Angela Martin, with no avail. Courteney Cox from Friends also had to put in work this to get her character of Monica Geller from the beloved sitcom.
Of course, followers of the legendary Jedi couldn’t help but comment on the post, including a few celebrities. Star Trek: The Next Generation star Wil Wheaton wrote, “The Force is with you.” Another user commented, “Mark Hamill is a goddamn national treasure,” and the Star Wars official account posted applause emojis.
If Luke Skywalker taught us anything in the swamps with Yoda, it's that if at first you don’t succeed, try and try again.
