John Boyega and Mark Hamill aren't just forces for good in the Star Wars universe, you know. They're also pretty great on Twitter.

This time it started when John Boyega took a serious moment to address the issue of actors being harassed by fans.

Boyega's tweet comes in the wake of Kelly Marie Tran, who played Rose Tico in The Last Jedi, deleting her posts on Instagram -- and the speculation that she may have been prompted to do so by harassment from fans.

Boyega followed that tweet up with another thanking the "majority of Star Wars fans" who "understand that there is a process".

At this point, Hamill waded in with a comment that was absolutely peak Hamill.

Boyega's response came four minutes later.

This isn't the first time they've had the whole father/son exchange on Twitter, and it probably won't be the last.
