Hamill international guest of honor at Dublin parade

Mark Hamill tweeted Sunday that “today the whole galaxy is Irish” as he appeared as an international guest of honor at Dublin’s St. Patrick’s Day parade.

The “Star Wars” actor, whose greatgrandmother was born in Ireland, was invited to represent the Irish diaspora at the celebration. Hamill spent time on Ireland’s rocky Skellig Michael island filming the most recent “Star Wars” movie, “The Last Jedi.”

“Game of Thrones” actor Liam Cunningham was the grand marshal of Saturday’s parade, attended by Irish President Michael D. Higgins.
