At the Golden Globes, Mark Hamill finally met his “Star Wars” mother, Natalie Portman.

Luke, you have a mother in her.

At the Golden Globes in 2024, the Skywalker family reunited.

Mark Hamill and Natalie Portman, both Star Wars legends, attended the 81st annual awards ceremony on Sunday night, but ran into one another unexpectedly backstage. Hamill shared a photo he had taken with Portman, who infamously portrayed Padmé Amidala, Luke Skywalker’s mother, in all three Star Wars prequel films, the day after the ceremony.

Hamill wrote on social media, “Thanks to the golden globes, I have at last met my’mother.'”

Despite having familial connections, Hamill and Portman have frequently joked that they have never met in person. (Obviously, Padmé died long before the events of the original Star Wars; in 2005’s Revenge of the Sith, she passed away while giving birth to twins Luke and Leia.)

Hamill had previously quipped, “When I discovered Natalie Portman was my mother, I thought holy moly.” “Does a woman of that beauty have a child with this appearance? I have no intention of purchasing it. “I ought to appear considerably more handsome.”
