Mark Hamill Reveals Daisy Ridley’s Jedi Training

When it comes to Jedi training, Luke Skywalker is riding his Padawan pretty hard

The other day, Mark Hamill promised that he was going to share a special treat from Star Wars: Episode VIII in honor of star Daisy Ridley‘s 24th birthday today, April 10. Ever a Joker, Hamill today shared via Twitter the below Jedi training image from outside the Pinewood Studios soundstages where both actors have been shooting the latest chapter in the Star Wars saga. As you can see, Hamill is giving Ridley the same form of Jedi training that his Luke Skywalker received from Yoda!
