Mark Hamill added to his delightful string of Star Wars stories on AustraliaSaturday when he shared the startling fact that he’s never met his mother.

Well, his Star Warsmother to be exact.

As the official Star WarsTwitter account shared birthday wishes for actress Natalie Portman, who portrayed Padmé Amidala, mother to Luke and Leia, in the Star Warsprequels, Hamill remarked that he had never actually met the actress in real life.

It’s kind of appropriate as, in the films, poor Padmé dies of a broken heart (damn you, Anakin!) shortly after giving birth to the famous Skywalker twins. 

Still, several fans replied with some fun jokes of their own.

But the best response came when The Last Jedidirector Rian Johnson chimed in and told Hamill that, actually, he had missed his chance while filming the most recent Star Wars film.

Poor Hamill couldn’t believe his bad luck, of course.

A bit later on Sunday, Hamill added to his family drama, pointing out he's never met the infant who portrayed Luke as a baby in 2005's Revenge of the Sith.

Of course, that kid is probably around 13 or 14 years old now, the perfect age for getting deep into Star Wars fandom.

As for Portman, the actress doesn’t have a Twitter account so we’ll never ever know what she thinks of all this, which is probably well and good given the way social media has treated some of the franchise's female stars as of late.

UPDATE: June 10, 2018, 2:53 p.m. EDT Updated to include Hamill's fun tweet about the infant actor who portrayed baby Luke.
