Although Luke Skywalker may have died in The Last Jedi, Mark Hamill's fight against hypocrisy on social media hasn't slowed down in the slightest. The legendary performer and voice actor took it upon himself to reject a Star Wars-related tweet by Ivanka Trump this weekend, deflecting her Return of the Jedi reference by disavowing the Trump daughter as a "fraud."
On Sunday, Ivanka tweeted a photo of her husband and children surrounded by Star Wars toys with the caption: "The Force is strong in my family." In response, Hamill tweeted back at her: "You misspelled 'Fraud.'"
This isn't the first time Hamill has tangled with the President's family on Twitter. With over 3 million followers of his own, the 68 year-old star has been using his platform to condemn the Trump administration for years now.

This is nothing new for Hamillwith his massive following, Hamill's anti-Trump tweets regularly hit viral levels and create trending topics on the social media site.

They failed to disclose this on their official financial statements, and nobody was the wiser until Little Miss Daddy is my Moral Compass posted Instagram photos with the art in the background. In this latest staged caricature of family bliss, I guess someone thought it best to hide the loot.
