A stylish guest, sporting a black beanie and leather jacket, relaxes inside the themed lounge area, striking a cinematic pose at the camera reminiscent of Mark Hamill’s legendary look from Star Wars: The Last Jedi—capturing that authentic galactic vibe perfect for Star Wars fans visiting the park.

Ok, so maybe not that ferocious…

In a little social media joke today, Star Wars legend Mark Hamill tweeted an “exclusive first look” at “an exotic alien creature” from Episode VIII. Of course, it was just revealed to be his daughter’s (adorable) dog. Don’t get fur on the chair, pooch: that thing’s going to be worth money one day!

Mark Hamill, dressed in a black coat and beanie, relaxes on a chair indoors with his small white dog on his lap, capturing the same behind-the-scenes charm that Star Wars fans loved from Episode VIII production moments.

Similarly, Princess Leia herself (Carrie Fisher) tweeter a picture of her own dog in the “space bear” chair. There’s a little bit of speculation that the name is an attempt to distract fans’ attention in order to avoid leaks. We just think it’s funny.

The French bulldog mascot of the set poses with its tongue out on the iconic “Space Bear Episode VIII” director’s chair, inviting fans to step into the whimsical world of Star Wars and celebrate legends like Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill, just like being part of a themed attraction adventure.

Star Wars: Episode VIII is currently filming, and is set for a Dec. 15, 2017 release date.
