How I Met My Mother: Luke Skywalker, Padmé Amidala Finally Reunited After 45 Years, 10 Star Wars Movies

Star Wars fans are probably saying, “Luke I am your mother.”

Actor Mark Hamill, aka Luke Skywalker, finally met his fictional mother at the Golden Globes.

Hamill posted a picture of himself with Natalie Portman, who played Padmé Amidala, Luke’s mother, in the second round of “Star Wars” movies. Weird that their paths never crossed before. Wasn’t Hamill invited to the premieres of “Attacks of the Clones.” “Phantom Menace,” or “Revenge of the Sith”?

Luke’s dad, as everyone in the world knows, was Darth Vader, formerly Anakin Skywalker, played with stolid determination by Hayden Christensen. Now they can all go on Henry Louis Gates’s “Finding Your Roots” together!

Showbiz411 is now in its 13th year of providing breaking and exclusive entertainment news. This is an independent site, unlike the many Hollywood trades that are owned by one company. To continue providing news that takes a fresh look at what's going on in movies, music, theater, etc, advertising is our basis. Reader donations would be greatly appreciated, too. They are just another facet of keeping fact based journalism alive.
Thank you
