Mark Hamill Luke Skywalker First Order Stormtrooper

Continuing in the proud tradition of celebrities who disguise themselves in cosplay at San Diego Comic-Con, Mark Hamill hid among fans on the convention floor donned as a stormtrooper.

But while Luke Skywalker dressed up as an Imperial stormtrooper over 40 years ago, Hamill took a modern approach by disguising as a First Order stormtrooper from the recent Disney “Star Wars” films. And yes, he joked about Leia’s infamous “Aren’t you a little short for a stormtrooper?” line in his Instagram post.

“DAY 3 WISH LIST,” Hamill wrote. “A) Don’t arouse any suspicions it’s me because I’m too short for this costume B) Find that ultra-rare comic book I need to complete my collection C) Get @NathanHamill‘s autograph (if I can find Booth #1415) D) Find the perfect nacho”

Hamill is far from the first celebrity to go cosplaying at Comic-Con. Last year, Lupita Nyong’o took a break from promoting “Black Panther” by disguising herself as the Pink Ranger, and “Mythbusters” star Adam Savage has long-been a cosplay enthusiast, disguising himself as the mysterious No-Face from Hayao Miyazaki’s “Spirited Away.”

Hamill also picked out another disguise for the Hall H panel for “Brooklyn Nine-Nine,” which was picked up by NBC after Fox dropped the show. Also, the Jedi would like to let you know that he’s the one who saved the show.

Having LOADS of fun at #SDCC…
