James Earl Jones turned 88 on January 17th and as one of the most highly regarded actors working today, he received a torrent of warm wishes from his friends and co-stars in the industry. But perhaps the most touching was Mark Hamill’s.
After all, while the pair have never actually shared a cinema screen in person, their Star Wars performances as Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader, respectively, are intertwined as some of the most iconic in movie history. And so, describing Jones as “one of the world’s greatest actors,” Hamill posted this tweet containing four interesting pictures:
"I have never traveled to anyone else's drumbeat. Some people have called me a rebel" James Earl Jones/Shout-out to 1 of the world's greatest actors!

2-Ditto for me
