ANAHEIM — Would you recognize Mark Hamill if he walked into a room? Or would you simply feel The Force that surrounds him everywhere he goes?
A group of unsuspecting and completely overjoyed Disneyland guests had the ultimate celebrity encounter earlier this week when Luke Skywalker himself crashed their ‘Star Tours’ experience.
While reading from his script, the Star Tours guide suddenly veered off-course and said, “Actually, you know what? The captain did mention something about a special passenger. Oh, and The Force is strong with this one.”
It took me long enough- but my childhood dream of working Disneyland finally came true! #TheLastJedi #StarTours @DisneyStudios @StarWars pic.twitter.com/mgDzgCjSRr

That’s when Hamill, 66, entered stage right, gleefully addressing the crowd with ‘Hello, everyone!”
As we’re sure he’s accustomed to, the entire crowd broke out into gasps, with many people raising their phones to snap a pic of the iconic Star Wars actor.
“Wait a minute, there’s no Star Wars fans here, right?” joked Hamill.
Although his appearance was considered out of the blue, this isn’t the first time Hamill surprised movie fans. In late 2015, he walked down Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles while wearing a stormtrooper uniform, handing out tickets to the premiere of ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’.
So be on high alert – The Force is everywhere!
