Not only did he appear in the latest blockbuster installment of the franchise, the box-office-dominating [_The Last Jedi_](http://time.com/5078897/star-wars-box-office-christmas-weekend/), but he’s also getting kudos from none other than everyone’s favorite Hollywood star [Dwayne ‘The Rock” Johnson.](http://time.com/4801319/the-rock-crying-fan/) On Tuesday, The Rock shared the news that his latest movie [_Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle_](http://time.com/4838923/the-rock-jack-black-kevin-hart-jumanji-trailer/), which is a sequel of sorts to the Robin Williams adventure classic, had overtaken _The Last Jedi_ to become the top grossing film in theaters for the first week of 2018. “About a month ago my Jedi hero @HamillHimself said ‘the Jumanji force is strong,” he tweeted in homage to Hamill. “Nice win for the Jumanji team and win for me because I actually had a Twitter exchange with Luke-Skywalker. #Hero.” > [](https://twitter.com/TheRock/status/948424635309350912) This isn’t the first time Johnson has outed himself as a Star Wars fan; earlier in December, he also responded to a tweet shared by a coworker about an autograph Hamill had once given. “I still try and use the Force like once a week,” he admitted then. Looks like it’s working in his latest cinematic endeavors. > [](https://twitter.com/TheRock/status/938926903813132288) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5086778/the-rock-mark-hamill/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5086778/the-rock-mark-hamill/"},"headline":"Even The Rock Is Obsessed with Mark Hamill","datePublished":"2018-01-03T22:18:03.000Z","dateModified":"2026-10-12T08:44:13.152Z","description":"Naturally, Hamill is his \"Jedi hero\"","url":"https://time.com/5086778/the-rock-mark-hamill/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","Star Wars","mark hamill","the rock"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt1eb310d5ec9b1bb5/6988f7000a4a222d759d145b/the-rock.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt1eb310d5ec9b1bb5/6988f7000a4a222d759d145b/the-rock.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Dwayne Johnson Honored With Star On The Hollywood Walk Of Fame","caption":"Dwayne Johnson Honored With Star On The Hollywood Walk Of Fame","creditText":"Alberto E.
