Mark Hamill Tweets from the Set of STAR WARS: EPISODE VII

I know George Lucas talked about these plans with him years ago, but the fact that it's actually happening is extraordinary.
The actor recently sent out a couple of Tweets from the set to of the film. One confirming what we all know now, and the other commenting on his "diverse" and "extraordinarily talented" new cast members. Here they are:
Finally I can officially say: I'M IN!!! #StarWars #StarWarsEpVII

There's still some more casting that need to be announced for this movie, which is expected to come on May 4th, so stay tuned for those details!
