'Star Wars' icon ​Mark Hamill is what you might call a people-person. Apart from pranking people ​at comic cons, joking his way through Q&A panels, and being one of the best Twitter personalities out there, Hamill also enjoys championing the like-minded and kindred spirits. It's no surprise then that he gave a huge shout-out to a real-life Jedi padawan.





After extreme harassment and bullying, t en-year-old Aiden Vazquez of California was hospitalized and needed stitches. Vazquez didn't fight back against his attackers, however, because " it's not ​the Jedi way ." Inspired by the fan's devotion to Jedi principles and nonviolent ideology, Hamill made a point of letting the world know how much he supported the youngling on Twitter.

SHOUT OUT to Aiden Vazquez for his courage & wisdom in the face of adversity. I'm so proud of you for showing that you can be a Jedi in real life. Congratulations, Aiden- The Force will be with YOU... Always!!!

Your fan, mh https://t.co/jkWqrhMaC0 — Mark Hamill (@HamillHimself) August 29, 2018

Hamill didn't say if he plans to meet with the young fan, but seeing as he's hard at work on the set for 'Star Wars: Episode IX,' he probably won't have the time. He'll be returning to the role that made him a star, which will be tricky considering the famed ​Luke Skywalker was killed off in 'The Last Jedi.' But with the Force, all things are possible, like glowing blue ghosts who can give advice and summon lightning.
