On Tuesday, Dec. 27, 2016, a publicist says Fisher has died at the age of 60.

A Seattle photographer asks Mark Hamill for his thoughts on #snowpocalypse2019.

On Saturday, Seattle photographer Lindsey Wasson took to Saturday to talk snow.

"Great, @NWSSeattle is forecasting more #SeattleSnowMageddon2019 and I'm all out of tauntauns," she wrote. Then she mentioned Mark Hamill, who plays Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars movies. "Any tips, @HamillHimself?"

(Tauntaun = two-legged snow creature on Hoth in "Empire Strikes Back.")

Hamill replied! "Stay indoors until summer."

Stay indoors until summer.

A flurry of responses followed (maybe Hamill would respond again!).

Our favorite, because we are suckers for puns: "One could say it's becoming a Hoth-stile environment."
