KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Many "Star Wars" fans (including some in our newsroom) might have been surprised where actor Mark Hamill said hasn’t visited but would like to.

Kansas Gov. Jeff Colyer was all for it.
We’d love to have you here! How does #MayThe4th sound?

Here are some things Hamill or anyone visiting Kansas might enjoy:
- Eat some barbecue — it’s a no-brainer.
- Watch a game at Sporting Park or catch some races at the Kansas Speedway.
- Learn more about the state’s history at the Kansas State Capitol, the Kansas Museum of History, or the Brown v. Board of Education National Historic Site.
- Spend some time outdoors at the Botanica in Wichita, see the Tallgrass prairie at the Flint Hills, or, if Hamill visited in the fall, he’d have to stop at Grinter Farms.
41 Action News anchor Taylor Hemness has his own ideas of what Hamill could do if he visits.
@HamillHimself Are you coming to Kansas? Because if you are, you can watch #BTAS with my sons and I. And then #StarWars with my wife and I. And then we can watch whatever you wanna watch.
