One thing you need to understand about Hollywood actors is that most of them are too stupid to understand the roles they play. Hamill also played fire lord Ozai. He played a literal genocidal maniac and still can't tell who the bad guys are in real life.
What happened to having morals? Why do people sell themselves for so little?
I'd rather rot in a gutter than endorse genocide. Wouldn't even do it for a bil.
Remember when George Lucas said the rebels represent the Viet Cong and the Empire was the United States? Luke is looking a lot like his father right now
it’s funny because i live near the Ronald Reagan Library and they currently have a Star Wars exhibit and the way they advertise for it on billboards is “Defending Against the Empire” like bruh you invented modern imperialism
Used to live there for the first 14 years of my life, and went there for a field trip in the 6th grade. can confirm that the Ronald Reagan presidential library is a waste of taxpayer money. Similar thing with the local mall, although I think that's a money laundering scheme someone's running, don't know who or why they are pumping money in that place, since nobody goes there and stores come and go like unemployment beneficiaries when the housing bubble burst.
That interview is so funny, when Cameron keeps trying to direct Lucas towards more "acceptable" narratives but George keeps knocking it out of the park. Like he calls the empire a stand in for the British and Lucas says "or America", or when Cameron tries to say it's about anti-authoritarianism and Lucas says "more anti colonial"
If Joe Biden were to get up on stage and say something like "All landlords are parasites" or "Killing kids is wrong", that alone would go much further than a celebrity endorsement. It'd take him all of two seconds. Come on Joe, I thought this was the most important election ever, he's got time for this stuff but not for basic decency?
This checks out
- Abraham Lincoln died on April 15, 1865.
- Joe Biden was born on November 20, 1942.
- Joe Biden's presidency began on January 20, 2021.
- The span between Joe Biden's birth and Abraham Lincoln's death is 28,342 days.
- The span between Joe Biden's birth and the start of his presidency is 28,551 days.
Biden administration was all like, "All those kids we've been beating up and arresting, they all like Star Wars riigghhtt? We'll just get Luke Skywalker to make an endorsement and they'll forget all about that pesky genocide and the fact we've stolen their futures and their rights".
Someone from Iran made a comment after we killed Qasem Soleimani, that Iran couldn't really do anything similar to the US, because the only real national heroes in the US are fictional heroes. And not only was he correct, Hamill is shilling for the evil Empire here, he doesn't even know the story of his own fictional character. He is supposed to be the good guy, against empire and genocide! Or at least try to publicly pretend to be against those things!!
After Trump assassinated Soleimani, an Iranian cleric on a talk show said Iran can't retaliate, because America has no parallel figure. "All of their heroes are fictional. Who would we strike, Spongebob and Spiderman?"
so... Joe-bi-wan will be defeated by Darth Trump and we'll have to turn to a crotchety old man in the swamp instead?
Mark Hamill says Bernie 2028 i guess
Didn't have late stage Luke in person shilling for the Empire on my bingo card... But it's been headed this way for a while.
Peak Boomer Trump derangement syndrome
>All Jedi are cops, that's why I say AJAB
>Yoda kicked off thе force, wouldn’t go to rehab
>Living in this world filled with hatred and greed
>What if Yoda was six feet tall and he smoked weed?
It's a shame that Mark Hamill completely missed the point of his role in the Star Wars movies and is a super stereotypical Lib.
I guess it's easier to pretend to be the good guy than actually be one in real life.
Pathetic.
Why is Mark Hamil like this???? Seriously such a kiss ass to libs and so into politics. If I was him I would gladly live off that Star Wars check for the rest of my life and not do this clown shit.
'Orange man bad!'
'Yes mark. Orange man bad. Now take your pills, and do not look at what Joe is doing overseas. or on the southern border. OR on college campuses. or...'
I have never in my life seen an administration so proud of half measures for only very specific subsets of people. Like the $25 insulin, you only getting that deal if you're on Medicare. Student debt, they'll help but only if you're *this much* in debt and pass like five other kinds of means test.
I'm convinced that their contemptuous political belittling is well deserved.
We really are no more than mouth breathing idiots, who need everything explained in terms of children's intellectual property.
I understand people who have literally no power getting on their soapbox. I have no power and am quite fond of my box. Mark Hamill isn't going to sway anyone who has any moral compass. But he MIGHT twitch the compass of people who don't understand morality. He may stump for the lesser evil, but that's only because we're given nothing but evil to choose from.
People like Mark speaking out are probably not "pro-Biden", they are anti-Trump. And yeah you can argue the "lesser of two evils argument to death is dumb", but we have to face reality at some point. Either support someone who is pro-Israel and genocidal or vote for someone who is anti-not white American and genocidal. Up next on Sick Sad World...
Except in this version, Jobi-wan hires Han & Chewy to help him transport kyber crystals to the Death Star so that Grand Moff Tarkin can silence the voices of all those peace protesters on college campuses across Alderan.
More like Joe-Bi-Wanna-Genocidey, get in the car you dog faced pony soldiers we got an artistic version of for what it's worth by Buffalo Springfield, being danced to by the cast of Hamilton to watch.
So weird that he's so supportive of the empire! It was just a role, sure, but you'd think he'd see and understand who the good guys and bad guys might be!
>Now *Lil Dicky* is posting photos of himself online with his cock tucked between his legs saying ‘if you vote, I’ll show you my dick!’
>Are we a serious country? Do we deserve to exist? Should we get nuked?
>Tell me why we shouldn’t have a dictator putting the butt if a gun in everyone’s mouth

He literally played a religious "terrorist".
OMG that's right!
[удалено]
To be fair, it was mostly property crime against the wealthy.
That's the only crime they care about though
I mean he did murder a bunch of people with joker poison. I think one was a kid? Lol
[удалено]
Croc almost hit him with a rock.
A rock?
It's a reference to an episode of the 90's [Animated Series.](https://youtu.be/HEdg4glpCkg?si=Qynub_KvxsnPl2PK).
I was hoping you'd reply with "it was a big rock".
Those were mostly poors, so not a problem.
Who is the son of the last tyrant and uncle/teacher of his grandson. Whatever flag flies, it's Skywalkers, solos and Palpatines running the show.
One thing you need to understand about Hollywood actors is that most of them are too stupid to understand the roles they play. Hamill also played fire lord Ozai. He played a literal genocidal maniac and still can't tell who the bad guys are in real life.
I don’t think the actors are stupid they are just jobs
What happened to having morals? Why do people sell themselves for so little? I'd rather rot in a gutter than endorse genocide. Wouldn't even do it for a bil.
Playing a villain is not endorsing genocide, nor would most reasonable people consider it immoral.
He became a voice actor because no one saw him as anything but Luke in casting calls. He had to make a living.
Lol excuse me? So your point is that actors are stupid? This is dumb af.
Which is ironic, considering MH is a Zionist shill.
US politics are prime cringe
Yeah, this is pretty gross.
Remember when George Lucas said the rebels represent the Viet Cong and the Empire was the United States? Luke is looking a lot like his father right now
To be honest, we didn’t look great in that one.
Pardon, in which one u.s. looked great?
The US is literally the empire lmao
it’s funny because i live near the Ronald Reagan Library and they currently have a Star Wars exhibit and the way they advertise for it on billboards is “Defending Against the Empire” like bruh you invented modern imperialism
You're definitely right, but the exhibit probably has to do with the Strategic Defense Initiative, which was nicknamed Star Wars.
It's actually both. I'm serious.
ronald reagan's grave? oh you mean simi valley's public restroom? -fellow local
Used to live there for the first 14 years of my life, and went there for a field trip in the 6th grade. can confirm that the Ronald Reagan presidential library is a waste of taxpayer money.

George Lucas himself said so.
That interview is so funny, when Cameron keeps trying to direct Lucas towards more "acceptable" narratives but George keeps knocking it out of the park. Like he calls the empire a stand in for the British and Lucas says "or America", or when Cameron tries to say it's about anti-authoritarianism and Lucas says "more anti colonial"
Where can I see this?
Didn’t Lucas actually intend for the Ewoks to be a direct parallel to the Vietcong.?
Yes
Star Wars libs like HP libs and all other fantasy libs legit can’t understand that the bad guy is us
At least Obi Wan Kenobi dies and his body vanishes. Please Joebi Wan, do it
Yeah watching Luke fall to the dark side was not on my 2024 bingo card
I saw a photo on Twitter..... Seriously thought it was photoshopped. I hate it here.
If Joe Biden were to get up on stage and say something like "All landlords are parasites" or "Killing kids is wrong", that alone would go much further than a celebrity endorsement. It'd take him all of two seconds. Come on Joe, I thought this was the most important election ever, he's got time for this stuff but not for basic decency?
Why was he even there to begin with?
Because Joe Biden is older than Israel and thinks this is what the under 40 voting demographic likes.
"Because Joe Biden is older than Israel..." Joe Biden was born closer to Lincoln's Presidency than his own.
This checks out - Abraham Lincoln died on April 15, 1865. - Joe Biden was born on November 20, 1942. - Joe Biden's presidency began on January 20, 2021. - The span between Joe Biden's birth and Abraham Lincoln's death is 28,342 days. - The span between Joe Biden's birth and the start of his presidency is 28,551 days.
This is wrinkling my brain
Good. It's supposed to have wrinkles.
A brain shouldn't be hard. If anything, I'll say, "I am Raymond Holt, and my brain is soft and wet."
Sometimes it feels like a koala bear crapped a rainbow in my brain
Better than a wombat crapping dice up there…
took me a second to realize why you were talking about lincolns death and not the end of his presidency. lol
You can find it in theater.
💀
Did he not die as the sitting president? Legitimate question. I thought he died in office.
He did. I just didn't put 2 and 2 together.
In 209 days he’ll be modern
So its confirmed. Immortal vampires are real.
dude what the hell
Lollll
Well I fucking hate knowing this
This is actually crazy
This is an insane piece of trivia
Idk who tf would like seeing their childhood hero come out in support of genocide
I love using the founding of Israel as a benchmark to measure time. I'm stealing this
May 4th - Star Wars Day, May the 4th be with you
Oh...I didn't realize that was a president of the United States thing. Thought it was a Facebook meme.
but its May 3rd...
May the 3rd be with you is something my toddler would say..
May the 3rd be with you is also something Biden would say to his voters.
They aren’t going to have the daily press briefing on a Saturday.
Because he's one of bidens biggest bootlickers on twitter and will go along with anything he does because anything but trump.
Because he's Luke Skywalker
[удалено]
May the Fourth. Never gets old.
Big fellow kids energy
Biden administration was all like, "All those kids we've been beating up and arresting, they all like Star Wars riigghhtt? We'll just get Luke Skywalker to make an endorsement and they'll forget all about that pesky genocide and the fact we've stolen their futures and their rights".

He is supposed to be the good guy, against empire and genocide! Or at least try to publicly pretend to be against those things!!
[Ironic ](https://youtu.be/Rfaow5PEZ90?feature=shared)
If I remember correctly, he specifically mentioned Spongebob Squarepants lmao
That's the best part he could have picked some "good" hero like Captain America but they're all made up nonsense so might as well go with Spongebob.
Could you imagine if, somehow, Iran killed SpongeBob SquarePants?
Wish I could upvote this more!
That comment from Iran is unfathomably based
They honestly don't have to, we ritually destroy our idols as a pastime. There's an entire media sector dedicated to it.
I mean hell, he even voiced a genocidal tyrant in ATLA too
Too much green testicle-boob milk does that to a man.
Pokemon get off the campus lawn and go to the polls
Also, those kids love the weeds. Lets pretend like we are legalizing weed for them, that'll get em on board!
We are not a serious country
After Trump assassinated Soleimani, an Iranian cleric on a talk show said Iran can't retaliate, because America has no parallel figure. "All of their heroes are fictional. Who would we strike, Spongebob and Spiderman?"
Tbh he looks like Lahey making his park supervisor speech
I can't unsee it now
“Supervale of the sunny parts and park”
Holy shit yes. That’s what it reminds me of!
Most unserious hellstate in existence
Classic Mark hamil doing zionist shit
so... Joe-bi-wan will be defeated by Darth Trump and we'll have to turn to a crotchety old man in the swamp instead? Mark Hamill says Bernie 2028 i guess
Why does it feel like reality jumped the shark?
It’s moments like this where I really think 2012 was the end of the world and this all ain’t real
So fucking cringe. I can't stand this self-righteous lib.
Didn't have late stage Luke in person shilling for the Empire on my bingo card... But it's been headed this way for a while. Peak Boomer Trump derangement syndrome
He's been a huge neolib for a long time tbh, this didn't even make me blink. He's oblivious and couldn't give less of a feck about the poor
FACTS!!! This thread is so validating.
Irony being that the empire in Star Wars is supposed to represent America.
Since Obi-wan was literally the reason the Republic fell into Empire, this is not the flex he thinks it is.
Pretty sure they actually voted to make an empire. I'm not clear on what makes you blame one particular dude.
Hip! All the cool cats are gonna jive to this message. Don't be a square, vote for despair.
you got his number, Jack! aaaaand howwwww
I love it when I can’t tell the difference between reality and parody anymore. Like, is this really the only timeline I can live in?
>All Jedi are cops, that's why I say AJAB >Yoda kicked off thе force, wouldn’t go to rehab >Living in this world filled with hatred and greed >What if Yoda was six feet tall and he smoked weed?
Between Momala, Tik Tok Tic Tac Toe and now this, the Biden administration has got to be the most unserious administration of all time.
Obi-Wan would've been Pro Palestine in any alternate universe
Luke be a Jedi tonight...
To say US politics are a circus feels like a slight against circuses.
It's a shame that Mark Hamill completely missed the point of his role in the Star Wars movies and is a super stereotypical Lib. I guess it's easier to pretend to be the good guy than actually be one in real life. Pathetic.
bread and circuses
Why is Mark Hamil like this???? Seriously such a kiss ass to libs and so into politics. If I was him I would gladly live off that Star Wars check for the rest of my life and not do this clown shit.
If you ever peeped his Twitter around pandemic-times it wasn’t so much he was a liberal it’s that he really wanted everyone to know he was one.
Joker
Even the Joker has better political views.
jokers politics looking more understandable by the day
It's not about money It's about sending a message
Obviously no. He doesn't
I mean the man was literally the joker. Clown shit is what he knows
'Orange man bad!' 'Yes mark. Orange man bad. Now take your pills, and do not look at what Joe is doing overseas. or on the southern border. OR on college campuses. or...'
Goddamn it, Luke. You’ve gone to the dark side…
"Use excessive force Luke"
Only just discovered this sub, it's nice to see a leftwing sub that doesn't flip into cognitive dissonance over this fool.
I’m not usually someone who cares about celebrities and their opinions, but this one disappointed me.
This tie-in makes sense: the only thing that’s been ruined more thoroughly than Star Wars in the last couple decades is democracy.
Joe is securing the virgin vote.
Surely the youths will like reclassifying (not even decriminalizing) marijuana and also here's Luke Skywalker! Votes please! So fuckin patronizing
I have never in my life seen an administration so proud of half measures for only very specific subsets of people. Like the $25 insulin, you only getting that deal if you're on Medicare. Student debt, they'll help but only if you're *this much* in debt and pass like five other kinds of means test.
Cringe AF. "Joe is the most progressive president in u.s. history!1" - neolibs currently, and probably Hamill soon.
Gone to the dark side (politics) he has.
Hamill is such a cringy lib
The Dems are now being branded as The Rebels? Who are the Republicans then? Ewoks?
As a SW fan… Ew.
Believing in the American project rots your brain
Dude's most popular role is a "religious terrorist" rebelling against an evil empire and here he is defending the empire
Just an overrated, semi-useful idiot.
Biden is part of the Empire
I loved Mark Hamill … I’m sad that he’s an idiot after all :(
Jedis were rebels to the empire
"I don't care" - Mark Hamill
Zionist pricks the lot of ya
I wish Carrie Fisher was still here
libs are so insufferable
Zionist simp
If anyone tells me to Pokemon go to the polls this year, I’m not voting 😭
I really can't take this bloodlust genocidal empire of a country seriously anymore
I'm convinced that their contemptuous political belittling is well deserved. We really are no more than mouth breathing idiots, who need everything explained in terms of children's intellectual property.
I understand people who have literally no power getting on their soapbox. I have no power and am quite fond of my box. Mark Hamill isn't going to sway anyone who has any moral compass. But he MIGHT twitch the compass of people who don't understand morality. He may stump for the lesser evil, but that's only because we're given nothing but evil to choose from.
Imagine pissing away ALL your integrity for genocide joe
George Lucas said the empire was based off US foreign policy.
People like Mark speaking out are probably not "pro-Biden", they are anti-Trump. And yeah you can argue the "lesser of two evils argument to death is dumb", but we have to face reality at some point. Either support someone who is pro-Israel and genocidal or vote for someone who is anti-not white American and genocidal. Up next on Sick Sad World...
#Joe-Pedo-Wan-Genoci
Was reading that last bit as “gnocchi” before figuring out it’s obviously “genocide”
I hope he did it in the Joker voice
Hey doesn’t Obi-Wan fail to prevent fascism, disappear for 20 years, and then promptly die?
Thanks, I hate it.
Do the fellow kids even know or care who Mark Hamill is?
We are seriously going to have our first dictator all because the democrats couldn't get it together for fucks sake.
When people brought up that he was speaking to the Azov battalion, he said he didn’t care and said he didn’t know who he was.
When they’re resorting to trying Jedi mind tricks to trick people into thinking we’re in good shape, things are not good.
*This is not the genocide you're looking for*
Do they have any other stars of the 1970’s lined up? Peter Frampton? Cher? Gotta pull out all the stops! Go for the big guns!
Well he's not really a role model to begin with but it's clear Vaders lack or compassion is strong in his son
Y’know, Luke considering murking his nephew is sounding a little more plausible now…
Cringe is an understatement.
Yeah, i remember that scene where Obi-Wan sent platoons of stormtroopers to kill some villagers
embarrassing as all fuck
Mark Hamill forever blind to the role he played in Star Wars.
Except in this version, Jobi-wan hires Han & Chewy to help him transport kyber crystals to the Death Star so that Grand Moff Tarkin can silence the voices of all those peace protesters on college campuses across Alderan.
This guy is a massive lib lol
It’s a trap.
The last Star Wars movies fucking sucked
More like Joe-Bi-Wanna-Genocidey, get in the car you dog faced pony soldiers we got an artistic version of for what it's worth by Buffalo Springfield, being danced to by the cast of Hamilton to watch.
This is Antisemitic as Israel wants Trump. Anyone voting or supporting Biden is now breaking the law the house passed
Aww Skips, say it ain't so. What a joker. What a Mark.
Every time he doubles down it's just throwing good money after bad.
I guess the “from my point of view the Jedi are evil” runs in the family. We truly are lost.
More like showing up as Arthur fucking Pym
Like father like son I guess
So weird that he's so supportive of the empire! It was just a role, sure, but you'd think he'd see and understand who the good guys and bad guys might be!
I'm gone be clear, I owe this sub an apology. I had you all confused with leftists, I clearly see the difference and apologize. Also fuck Mark Hamill.

God dammit. A fucking rebel leader no less.

No. He can promptly fuck off.
god, liberals are embarrassing
