Actor Mark Hamill is ready to celebrate May the "Star Wars" way.

Most fans of the Lucasfilm franchise already know that Star Wars Day takes place on May 4th every year. The day comes from the date, "May Fourth" which is a play on the classic phrase, "May the Force Be With You."

Last year, the "Star Wars" actor responsible for bringing Luke Skywalker to life started tweeting (almost) every day throughout May to make his own calendar, and now he has shared it with all of his fans to enjoy!

He Hasn't Given Up Being A Jedi Just Yet!

Although things didn’t seem to go for Luke’s Jedi Academy in the sequel trilogy, it seems he hasn’t given up on being a teacher just yet. In a promotional video for “Star Wars Jedi: Survivor,” which came out on April 28, Mark teaches the actor behind Cal Kestis, Cameron Monaghan, how to wield the Force.

Of course, it looks like the "Shameless" actor already knows how to wield a lightsaber - two of them, in fact. The promotional clip ends with Cam trying to show Mark how to play the game, with Mark replying, "I really don't need you to explain the Force to me."

“Star Wars Jedi: Survivor” is available now on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.
