Noted voice actor Mark Hamill still hasn't spoken on camera in the new Star Wars films.

You can check out some social media musings from the cast, released following today's Episode VIII production announcement, below.

Day one in the can!
Meaning we finished, not that we filmed it in a toilet. Though I'm not saying we didn't. Ok I should stop typing now.
