Over the weekend, the worlds of “Star Wars” and “Guardians of the Galaxy” collided when Mark Hamill and James Gunn joined forces for a Memorial Day BBQ.
Fans have been eager for this meet up since February when the pair got into a conversation on Twitter. During their social media chat, the “Star Wars” star and “Guardians of the Galaxy” director agreed to grab a cup of coffee and talk about a potential role for Hamill in “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3.”
It’s not clear if they actually had that casting conversation yet, but they definitely had fun celebrating the unofficial start of summer.

Such a great day meeting my neighbor @JamesGunn! We have so much in common & talked about EVERYTHING: the weather, gardening tips, favorite recipes, growing up Catholic, our mutual love of dogs, bleu cheese, risqué limericks & the weather again. #FunWithGunn pic.twitter.com/5Gw1VTyHRU

The Hamills hosted the get-together, which also served as a birthday party for “Ant-Man” actor David Dastmalchian’s daughter.
