Recently seen in the revival of "Party Down", Adam Scott's extreme "Star Wars" fandom was evident back in 2017 when he appeared on "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" and revealed he'd sent a letter to Mark "Luke Skywalker" Hamill, inviting him to one of his childhood birthday parties.

The episode took a surreal turn when Hamill then made a surprise appearance on the show. "This really is one of the best moments of my life. For real," Scott gushed.

Jason Sudeikis proved his cred as a "Star Wars" fan when he and fellow fan Adam Pally appeared together in an episode of "The Mandalorian", playing a pair of stormtroopers who weren't exactly the brightest lightsabers on the Death Star.

The "Late Show" host has never been shy about expressing his love for "Star Wars" — which made him the natural choice to host a "Rise of Skywalker" panel at the 2019 Star Wars Celebration.

"I have been a 'Star Wars' fan two weeks longer than any of you," Colbert once quipped.

Director Kevin Smith (pictured with daughter Harley Quinn Smith at the premiere of "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story") has worn his fandom on his sleeve for decades — heck, his first film, "Clerks", features a stoner discussion about the contractors who built the Death Star.

Not surprisingly, an invitation to visit the set of "The Force Awakens" proved to be an emotional experience. "When I was a kid, I liked 'Star Wars,' and now I'm on the 'Star Wars' set," he recalled. "The moment I stepped on the Millennium Falcon, 10 years dropped off my life."

"I can mark out my life ... in terms of my relationship with that film," said Simon Pegg of "Star Wars" back in 2010.

Just five years later, he was able to live out a fantasy by appearing in "The Force Awakens", playing alien Unkar

For "The Office" alum Rainn Wilson, "Star Wars" fandom is something he's passed on to his son Walter, who joined his dad at the premiere of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" decked out in costume as Boba Fett.

When Tina Fey's Liz Lemon walked down the aisle in "30 Rock", she did while dressed up as Princess Leia.

Meanwhile, "SNL" fans with exceptionally good memories will recall how, back in a 2008 episode, she wore a "Vote Princess Leia" t-shirt during the goodnights.

Not only did Prince Harry and Prince William get hugs from Chewbacca and play around with lightsabers on the set of "The Force Awakens", but the royal bros also filmed a cameo as stormtroopers in the movie. But alas, director Rian Johnson cut their one and only scene from the final version.

Anyone willing to cover themselves in green body paint and cosplay as Yoda at the premiere of "The Force Awakens" is a true "Star Wars" fan.
Daniel Radcliffe

Even Harry Potter can't resist the Force. When "The Force Awakens" was filmed in the U.K., many of the same crew who worked on the "Harry Potter" franchise got "Star Wars" gigs, giving Daniel Radcliffe an opportunity to visit the set.
The actor has also been spotted dressed as Boba Fett, which must have really confused his young fans.
Ariana Grande

The "thank u next" singer is such a huge fan of "Star Wars" she released her own video take on the "Who shot first?" debate on Twitter in 2015.
Grande couldn't contain her fandom when she and Mark Hamill became Twitter pals, tweeting, "i’m gonna go sob in a corner and watch all your movies again now."
