“They say you are a big #StarWars fan and I just wanted you to know that I am a BIG fan of yours & watching this video made me super, super happy!” he wrote, signing his note, “Your pal.”

In the film series, Skywalker lost his own arm during a lightsaber duel with Darth Vader, but never let that hold him back.

Congratulations to you for @openbionics getting you that really, really cool bionic Hero Arm, Cameron. They say you are a big #StarWars fan and I just wanted you to know that I am a BIG fan of yours & watching this video made me super, super happy! 😃👍 Your pal, Mar🐫 https://t.co/QuoBA8QSKa
