Royal tour of Star Wars set is greeted with predictable p*sstakery

We can't tell who's more excited.

The Stars Wars cast seemed thrilled to welcome Princes William and Harry to the set of the eight episode of the sci-fi franchise, but if anything the two Royals seemed even more elated to be meeting the movie icons.

Star Wars: Episode VIII is currently being filmed at Pinewood Studios and the regal siblings were given a VIP tour of the facilities by cast and crew on Tuesday morning. The resulting photographs were bizarre to say the least - with fictional stars mingling with the real-life Princes.

Many absolutely loved the meeting of worlds and were gushing about the visit...

Prince William and Prince Harry were so cute meeting the cast of Star Wars, they looked like little boys on Christmas. 😁 @KensingtonRoyal

But not everyone was prepared to be all gooey-eyed and sycophantic about the Royal visit. Rather, some were darkly scathing of the whole occasion...
