Daisy Ridley turned 24 on Sunday, and to mark the occasion Mark Hamill posted a behind-the-scenes rehearsal pic of the duo recreating an iconic Star Wars image: that of Yoda on Luke’s back. “A long time ago (last week I think),” Hamill tweeted. “In a galaxy far, far way (@PinewoodStudios) THIS happened! Happy Birthday Daisy!” As you’ll see in the shot below, Hamill has taken Yoda’s spot and Daisy, Luke’s:

Hamill’s daughter snapped the photo at England’s Pinewood Studios, where Episode VIII is filming for a December 2017 release. You might not snag any meaningful spoilers from the piggy-back ride pic, but you’ll hopefully enjoy it nonetheless — as the internet evidently did:
