Our beloved Star Wars actor, Luke Skywalker himself (also known as Mark Hamill) attended Nile C. Kinnick High School in Japan. The school is located in Yokosuka Naval Base nowadays, but
back then it was in Yokohama (second largest city in Japan today). Mr Hamill even confirmed the fact in a Twitter post, after having been asked about the school.

He also attended Annandale High School in Virginia earlier, but graduated in Japan.
