Mark Hamill and Stephen Colbert bless us with Luke Skywalker's 'lost' Cantina scene

Ever wondered what Luke Skywalker was up to between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens? Well, Mark Hamill and noted Star Wars superfan Stephen Colbert have the answer: He was trying to get into a bar.

A really delightful sketch from Friday's Late Show features Hamill as a middle-aged Luke and Colbert as a condescending Cantina maître d'. Unfortunately, Luke's galaxy-saving reputation has not preceded him to the bar, and he can't convince Colbert to let him in.

Dad jokes -- including several about the franchise's absolutely bonkers names for characters -- ensue. And the whole thing culminates in Colbert singing the Cantina band song, which is just lovely. Powers that be, please cast him in a future movie.
