Nothing’s better than when fandoms collide so get ready for the ill nerdgasm because Mark Hamill, a.k.a Luke Gotdamn Skywalker—who you will soon see in Star Wars: The Force Awakens—has joined CW’s The Flash.

Hamill has landed the role of well-known villain The Trickster, whom Hamill previously played in a ‘90s Flash series on CBS. He will reportedly appear in the 17th episode of this first season.

The modern-day trickster is an “anarchist terrorist con man serving a life sentence in Iron Heights who helps Barry (Flash) and Det. West to foil the city-wide attacks of a wannabe Trickster eagerly following in the original’s deadly footsteps.”

Also in Iron Heights? Barry’s dad (John Wesley Shipp) who actually portrayed The Flash opposite Hamill.

You can catch The Flash Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on The CWand Star Wars Episode VII next December.
