Mark Hamill Critiques Trump's Star Wars Day Post, Calls Him 'Full of Sith'

Mark Hamill, known for his role as Luke Skywalker in Star Wars, criticized Donald Trump after a White House Star Wars Day post depicted an AI-generated image of a muscular Trump wielding a red lightsaber—an iconic symbol of the franchise's villains, the Sith. Hamill mocked the post on Bluesky, stating it was 'proof this guy is full of SITH,' highlighting the irony that the weapon is associated with evil characters like Darth Vader rather than the heroic Jedi. The White House's post, intended to target Democrats by likening them to Star Wars antagonists, was widely ridiculed by fans and critics for misunderstanding the franchise's symbolism. Social media users joined Hamill in ridiculing the image and the administration's apparent misstep, with some comparing Trump to Star Wars villain Jabba the Hutt. Hamill's criticism continues a long pattern of using Star Wars references to oppose Trump and his policies. The incident reignited debates over political messaging and popular culture symbolism.
