"Donald Trump Draws Responses from 'Star Wars' Actor Mark Hamill Once More, This Time With A Rant"
Mark Hamill, the renowned actor best known for his role as Luke Skywalker in "Star Wars," has been an outspoken critic of U.S. President Donald Trump. Following Trump's re-election in the 2024 U.S. presidential election, Hamill considered emigrating, contemplating a move to London or Ireland with his wife [1][2]. However, his wife's persuasion led him to reconsider and ultimately decide to stay in the United States.
Hamill's disdain for Trump is well-documented. He has criticised the President's "bullying" and "incompetence," and described the political climate as a complex political thriller [2]. In the 2020 election, Hamill supported Joe Biden, and in 2024, he backed Kamala Harris for the Democratic nomination [1].
Throughout his public platform, Hamill has been vocal about his political views, often expressing his opposition to Trump and advocating for Democratic leaders. He has distanced himself from social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter, opting instead for Bluesky, demonstrating a shift in his methods of political engagement [1].
The media has criticised Hamill for his extreme and unhinged political views, which some attribute to his hatred for Trump. However, Hamill has also been accused of lacking intellectual honesty and consistency [1][2]. In the aftermath of a political rally where Trump was shot, Hamill went all-in on conspiracy theories, further fuelling these criticisms [3].
Despite the controversy, Hamill attended Galaxy of Wishes: A Night to Benefit Make-A-Wish at Disneyland on December 7, 2021, demonstrating his commitment to charitable causes [4]. Despite his political disagreements, Hamill remains a significant figure in the entertainment industry.
