10 Things We Learned From Mark Hamill At Star Wars Celebration Europe

5. He Forgot Rey's Name (But Just To Stoke The Identity Fire More)

That scuba reveal was somewhat overshadowed my Hamill forgetting the name of Daisy Ridley's character. Seriously. Well, not seriously - it was a gag - but he played it as a general memory lapse (he did make a joke about how he envied Humphrey Bogart just calling everyone "pal") much to the excitement of the audience.

In response, the quick-thinking questioner then asked "What's her last name?" Complete silence.

Hamill was incredibly coy, saying he didn't know and alluding to the level of secrecy surrounding that particular reveal. Does that mean she's a Skywalker or not? Or is it him throwing us off the scent?
