Compared to other figures in the Star Wars franchise, The Mandalorian director Peyton Reed isn’t especially active on social media, though the filmmaker recently took to Twitter to share his thanks for Mark Hamill, as Reed had helmed the Season Two finale of the series, which featured an appearance by Luke Skywalker. In his post, Reed detailed how he had a photo of Luke Skywalker hanging on his bedroom wall, so to get to direct Hamill as the character years later was a “dream come true.” It is currently unknown if Reed will be returning for any future Star Wars projects.
Dear @HamillHimself,
When I was a kid, this photo hung on my bedroom wall. STAR WARS, and Luke Skywalker in particular, meant a great deal to me.
Some things never change.
It was an honor and a dream come true to work with you on @themandalorian. Thank you. #MTFBWY pic.twitter.com/trJulIaEf6
