Mark Hamill Tweets Picture of the 'Episode VIII' Script

By: Dominic Jones

Luke Skywalker actor Mark Hamill is promising to reveal a Star Wars Episode VIII "spoiler" when he reaches one million twitter followers.  Hamill tweeted that director Rian Johnson had approved his request to release one spoiler from the film when he hit the Twitter milestone (Hamill currently sits at approximately 982,000 followers).  While this is likely all building up to an elaborate April Fools Day prank (though, you never can be sure, Hamill could actually have a small teaser for the film), he did tweet out a pretty cool picture of himself with the Episode VIII script.  Check it out below,

Whether this is all building to a prank or not, if you are not following Mark Hamill on Twitter you should definitely do so.  He's always tweeting out fun stuff and interacting with fans.

UPDATE: As expected, this was a prank.  No Episode VIII tidbits.  Still, the pics of the first page of the script are pretty cool.
