WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Kansas is rolling out the welcome mat after “Star Wars” actor Mark Hamill tweeted about wanting to visit.

Gov. Jeff Colyer suggested Monday in a tweet that Hamill come on May 4, which fans call Star Wars Day for the wordplay on “May the Force be with you.”

Kansas Highway Patrol Trooper Ben Gardner responded with “I only let Jedi Warriors drive my patrol car.” The state also touted its roads in a tweet.

The love fest began after Hamill was asked in Twitter where he’d never been but wanted to go. He responded with the one-word answer “Kansas.”
