He might be one of the biggest stars in the Star Wars franchise, but some Disney staff don’t seem to know who Mark Hamill is.

The US actor, who plays Luke Skywalker, paid a visit to the company’s London office over the weekend, only for them to get his name completely wrong.

He shared a snap of his visitor’s pass on his Twitter page, which had his name written down as ‘Mark Hamilton’.

He tweeted: “How famous am I? Actual Security Pass I got 4 Disney London Office visit. That's MISTER Hamilton to you! #AndYouAre?”

When a fan then asked him to describe the pass in three words, he wrote: “Personalized Ego Deflator.”

Hamill was back on set a few days later as he posted a snap of himself with co-stars Oscar Isaac and Lupita Nyong'o in between takes.

He captioned the picture: “Cuddling adorable Lupita-who's seeking a little fatherly advice(as Oscar kindly provides bunny ears) #PhotoBomberPoe.”

Stars including Daisy Ridley, John Boyega and Carrie Fisher are all currently shooting scenes for the eagerly-awaited new film, which will be released in 2017.
