John Boyega and Mark Hamill aren’t just forces for good in the Star Wars universe, you know. They’re also pretty great on Twitter.
This time it started when John Boyega took a serious moment to address the issue of actors being harassed by fans.
If you don’t like Star Wars or the characters understand that there are decisions makers and harassing the actors/ actresses will do nothing. You’re not entitled to politeness when your approach is rude. Even if you paid for a ticket! 🤷🏾♂️

It is a period of civil war in Star Wars fandom.
We’re nearly seven months on from the release of The Last Jedi, and a certain very vocal minority of fans — you know, the kind who think a film can ruin their childhood — just can’t let it go. And now the director is striking back.
The catalyst for this fresh round of warfare is the fact that Kelly Marie Tran, who played Resistance mechanic Rose Tico, mysteriously deleted all her Instagram posts this week. Tran has not explained why she did this; Mashable has reached out to her publicist for comment. Read more…

Sometimes, just sometimes, life imitates art.
That’s precisely what happened when Laura Dern posted a lovely #WomanCrushWednesday Instagram about her Last Jedi co-star Kelly Marie Tran. And, one of Dern’s Big Little Lies co-stars had something to say—something that sounded like a line straight out of the show.
“What?! It’s Woman Crush Wednesday? As I choose mine, I find out it’s her birthday too?! @kellymarietran I worship you and your genuine bright light. Can’t wait to see you this weekend!!” wrote Dern. Read more…

You ready for a wholesome exchange?
Mark Hamill’s Twitter is always good value for money (we know Twitter is free, you get our meaning though). On Wednesday, seemingly unprompted, Hamill decided to share some Twitter-love with The Last Jedi co-star Kelly Marie Tran.
SHOUT OUT to Kelly Marie Tran for no particular reason other than your more than brilliant performance in #TheLastJedi, being almost criminally adorable & goofy enough to geek out with @chelseahamill almost as if you were a 2nd daughter!
❤️ You Madly, mh 😜 pic.twitter.com/ZpkjRbtlxs— @HamillHimself (@HamillHimself) January 17, 2018 Read more…

Never mind porgs, we have a new favourite The Last Jedi star: Kelly Marie Tran a.k.a. Rose Tico.
When Tran overheard Star Wars fans gushing about her character when she was out at a pub, she did something truly wonderful. She recorded her reaction and then went over to introduce herself.
“A few days ago, I was at a pub eating pie with a friend, when this DELIGHTFUL group of people came in,” wrote Tran on Instagram. “They sat down at the table next to me and started discussing The Last Jedi — in minute detail.” Read more…
