FLAGSTAFF, Ariz. — The Force was strong enough at an Arizona store to reunite Luke Skywalker with his long-lost vinyl record.
Actor Mark Hamill is praising workers at Bookmans Entertainment Exchange in Flagstaff for returning the “Star Wars: A New Hope” soundtrack that had been a gift from composer John Williams.
Hamill said in a tweet Saturday that it felt “totally unexpected & positively surreal” to get back the record he hadn't seen since the early 1990s. He commended the store about 145 miles north of Phoenix for being honest and not selling it.
“I happily offered to sign any (“Star Wars”) items they sent me,” the actor wrote.
Williams had written on the vinyl's sleeve: “Dear Mark Hamill, May the force always be with us.”
The record was one of numerous “Star Wars” items brought in by a woman after her father's death in 2018, the Arizona Daily Sun reported.
Micheil Salmons, the store's general manager, said they reached out to Hamill via social media. The actor confirmed it was genuine, and the vinyl was sent back to him.
