Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a longtime pal at your side, kid.

Late Tuesday, Star Wars star Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker) tweeted photos of himself with co-star Harrison Ford (Han Solo), and awwww, seeing the two together touched Twitter's heart.

Fans would like to point out that Harrison Ford pointing -- and Star Wars pointing in general -- is kind of a thing.

And Carrie Fisher, of course, was remembered.

Ford and Hamill didn't get any scenes together in "The Force Awakens," but for now, this will do just fine.
