John Boyega and Mark Hamill have the type of bromance many only dream of, and now they’re back at it again on Twitter, flaunting it before the entire jealous world. It all started earlier this year when the two melted hearts of Star Wars fans worldwide with their Twitter exchanges. First Mark Hamill wished Boyega a happy birthday and referred to him as “sonsational,” following his message up with “Typo or spoiler? YOU decide.”
Then in March, he tweeted this:
Shout-out to @JohnBoyega for no reason other than being wickedly-proficient w/ a lightsaber w/ no training whatsoever. You do me proud, son! pic.twitter.com/xeCFbzA9ph

Boyega, naturally, played along.
Late response because I'm in Beijing but thanks dad @HamillHimself

Although Hamill definitely had the best response of all:
Kids! They never call, they never write & the excuses just get more elaborate- "I'm in Beijing" Yeah, right & I'm on a date w/ Beyonce-LOL! https://t.co/ekaF9IiXid

Now the two are back at it again in full force, with Boyega kicking it off when he tweeted about the start of the publicity run for The Last Jedi:
Stomach already in pain after a few interviews with @HamillHimself
Constant banter with @lovegwendoline
Reunited with peanut and my rose ☺️
Not a bad day!

Naturally, Hamill had to respond. The first rule of the bromance is…you uphold the bromance.
I'm assuming your stomach pain is from laughing at my "dad jokes"- If anyone could appreciate them it would be you, son. (Btw, I felt the same way, but I think it was the sushi I ordered at the bus station) PS: You're finntastic in #TheLastJedi ?-mh https://t.co/phhs1CkjN7

To which Boyega, of course responded with…
Thank you father https://t.co/QoXVMykoE8

The fandom is dying to know whether Finn and Rey are siblings. Would Hamill/Boyega even be allowed to tease this if it were true? I guess we all just have to wait and see…
Oh sweet water taffy they actually accidentally leaked the biggest spoiler in the universe. Not sure biologically how this happened yet.
