March 19 (UPI) -- This weekend, Mark Hamill tweeted an early photo of himself dressed as Luke Skywalker on the set of Star Wars: A New Hope.

"Taken in Tunisia early morning Day #1 waiting for my 1st shot (emerging from home for robot auction)-Perhaps the very 1st #LukePic #SW," he captioned the Twitter image, which featured him standing in a desert, sporting shaggy, blonde hair and wearing a white tunic and pants, as well as a utility belt.

The science-fiction blockbuster A New Hope was released in 1977. Hamill, now 65, has since appeared in three Star Wars sequels and is set to star in this winter's Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
