Mark Hamill finally met his “Star Wars” mom Natalie Portman at the Golden Globes

Luke, she is your mother.

The 2024 Golden Globes turned into a Skywalker family reunion.

Star Wars legends Mark Hamill and Natalie Portman both attended the 81st annual awards show Sunday night, only to have an impromptu run-in backstage. A day after the ceremony, Hamill shared a photo he took with Portman — who famously played Luke Skywalker's mother, Padmé Amidala, in all three of the Star Wars prequel movies.

"Now I have finally met my 'mother,' thanks to the @goldenglobes," Hamill wrote on social media.

Both Hamill and Portman have frequently joked about how they'd never actually met in person, despite their family ties. (Padmé, of course, passed away well before the events of the original Star Wars, dying while giving birth to twins Luke and Leia in 2005's Revenge of the Sith.)

"When I saw that Natalie Portman was my mother, I thought holy moly," Hamill previously joked. "A woman that beautiful has a kid that looks like this? I'm not buying it. I should look way more handsome."

Stephen Colbert even confronted Portman about never meeting Hamill when the actress appeared on his show in 2018. "It’s such a shame!" Portman said at the time. "I would love to meet him. Mark, I would love to meet you. Come over!"

Portman was nominated for a Golden Globe for her role in May December, while Hamill attended to present the inaugural award for Cinematic and Box office Achievement.
