The more he tells us the more we need to know…
Mark Hamill is a great tweeter in fairness – he answers fan queries, lets us indulge in his hilarious bromance with Star Wars co-star John Boyega, and is generally just really sound.
Of course, most of his followers are there in the vague hope that he will reveal developments for Star Wars Episode VIII. Most recently, the actor shared:
It wraps on Friday July 22nd 2016 #LooseLipsSinkStarships #W8ForVIII #DontBeAHomer #PatienceMyPadawans #Rogue1Sooner https://t.co/92syo6m36d

The end of shooting means the film is one step closer to hitting our screens!
Mark has also been nice enough to clear up some rumours for his Star Wars fans:
Like many recent rumors reported on the internet lately-this has no basis in fact-Don't believe everything you read! https://t.co/YxjZAOZUQ1

But at other times he’s (probably inconspicuously) feeding into the rumour mill himself, for example, last week, he tweeted:

But what does it mean? Does the ‘last week’ hint that this could mark Luke Skywalker’s final appearance in the saga? So many questions…
