Some princes have all the luck. Britain's Prince William and Prince Harry, KCVO have just stopped by the Star Wars Episode VIII set in Iver Heath, England and got to meet Mark Hamill, John Boyega, Daisy Ridley as well as interstellar celebrity wookie Chewbacca. In addition to that, the Duke of Cambridge got up close and personal with the adorable BB-8 and Prince Harry attempted to pilot an X-Wing!

Britain's princes took a tour of the Pinewoods Studios, where they checked on the production workshops that make the lightsabers that will be featured in the Rian Johnson film. The Duke and Prince Harry looked delighted at the opportunity to wield the weapon favored by the Jedi and immediately tried their hand at a brotherly lightsaber battle.

Although the princes happily chatted with the Star Wars actors, there was one celebrity who received some special attention from Prince Harry: Chewbacca managed to get a hug from the younger prince.

Meanwhile, the Duke was clearly smitten with everyone's favorite astromech droid, who was the major scene-stealer in Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Prince Harry also seemed to enjoy a conversation with Chewbacca and Boyega as it appears that the trio is comparing their outfits for the day. Is the prince trying to borrow Finn's infamous jacket that originally belonged to Oscar Isaac's Poe Dameron?

It also looked like Prince Harry was interested in taking an X-Wing out for a spin, but not without a few tips from Hamill first.

In the end, the Duke of Cambridge and Prince Harry posed with the cast and crew of Episode VIII, who appeared happy with their royal guests.

Star Wars Episode VIII hits theaters on Dec. 16, 2017.
