John Boyega appears to be stranded in Atlanta ahead of 'The Last Jedi' premiere

Even the Force can't make a snowbound plane take off.

If his tweets are any indication, Star Wars star John Boyega is stuck in snowy Atlanta just hours before Saturday's The Last Jedi premiere in Los Angeles. "Looks like no one's leaving!" he wrote. "Guess I'll start a family now...."

"I actually NEED a pilot!" he added.

Hm, could this be karma for his jokes about eating porgs? We're kidding. John, we hope you make it back in time -- and so does director Rian Johnson.

Hundreds of flights out of Atlanta (a Delta hub) have been cancelled or delayed in the wake of winter weather, which left much of the city's transit in a state of disarray.

Can someone send Poe Dameron to the scene?
