For the first time since the 1983 "Star Wars: Return of the Jedi," Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) will board the Millennium Falcon once again in "Star Wars: The Last Jedi." In a new trailer, the Jedi master looks astonished being back on the ship. But in real life, the 66-year-old star felt emotional being on board.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Hamill revealed he never expected to be very emotional while seeing the cockpit again. The voice actor visited the iconic ship with his family, wearing his street clothes when Lucasfilm asked if the documentary crew could be present when he got back to the vessel.

In the short "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" clip, Luke can be seen entering the Millennium Falcon hesitantly, taking a glimpse of the cockpit, and turning all the lights. And just like his character, Hamill himself was poignant to be back on the ship.

"It was sort of like visiting an old house that you lived in when you were a kid," he said. His emotions quickly swirled, thus he instructed everyone on the spacecraft to leave as he needed to be alone. Hamill noticed the vessel was preserved and recreated to every last detail it has that he can still recall.

The unforgettable oil drips that Chewbacca had been fixing ever since was still there, the loose pipes, and just merely everything stayed the same. "The dice in the cockpit," Hamill remembered. Being on the Millennium Falcom for "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" made the legendary star remember his past and where he started to become the iconic Luke Skywalker.

To recall, the spaceship was owned by Luke's good friend and confidant Han Solo (Harrison Ford), who got killed by his own son Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) in "Star Wars: The Force Awakens." In fact, Hamill called it "a piece of junk" when he first saw it. Little did he know that it will be an iconic spacecraft.

"Star Wars: The Last Jedi" is set to hit the big screen on Friday, Dec. 15, in the U.S.
